CVE-2000-0824 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The unsetenv function in glibc 2.1.1 does not properly unset an environmental variable if the variable is provided twice to a program, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary commands in setuid programs by specifying their own duplicate environmental variables such as LD_PRELOAD or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.. EPSS estimates a 1.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
