Vulnerability in root-project root (builtins/zlib modules). This vulnerability is associated with program files inffast.C. This issue affects root.
The (1) proofserv, (2) xrdcp, (3) xrdpwdadmin, and (4) xrd scripts in ROOT 5.18/00 place a zero-length directory name in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse shared library in the current working directory.
