Hi linux-ha-dev,
I received this through the Debian bug tracker.
Its not immediately clear to me what an appropriate fix would be.

Subject: [Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#598549: cluster-agents: CVE-2010-3389:
insecure library loading
Resent-From: Raphael Geissert <geiss...@debian.org>
Package: cluster-agents
Version: 1:1.0.3-3
Severity: important
Tags: security
User: t...@security.debian.org
Usertags: ldpath
Hello,
During a review of the Debian archive, I've found your package to
contain a script that can be abused by an attacker to execute arbitrary
code.
The vulnerability is introduced by an insecure change to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, an environment variable used by ld.so(8) to look for
libraries on a directory other than the standard paths.
Vulnerable code follows:
/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/SAPDatabase line 969:
if [ `echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | grep -c "^$DIR_EXECUTABLE\>"` -eq 0 ]; then
/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/SAPDatabase line 970:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIR_EXECUTABLE:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/SAPInstance line 299:
if [ `echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH | grep -c "^$DIR_EXECUTABLE\>"` -eq 0 ]; then
/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/heartbeat/SAPInstance line 300:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DIR_EXECUTABLE:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
When there's an empty item on the colon-separated list of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ld.so treats it as '.' (i.e. CWD/$PWD.)
If the given script is executed from a directory where a potential,
local, attacker can write files to, there's a chance to exploit this
bug.
This vulnerability has been assigned the CVE id CVE-2010-3389. Please make sure
you mention it when forwarding this report to upstream and when fixing
this bug (everywhere: upstream and here at Debian.)
