Title:
Firefox loader hardening
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
If the ld cache configuration is wrong, the correct shared objects
contained in the package are never found or wrong versions being
picked up.
Example:
libnss3 is defined by a quite a few packages including Thunderbird, libnss3
and Firefox.
Depending on the particular linker cache config, the wrong version may be
picked up.
Mitigation: enhance /usr/bin/firefox to explicitely include the
correct path of its shared objects in the loader path (cf. attached
patch).
