Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Gentoo package of Xpdf before 3.02-r2 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse xpdfrc file in the current working directory, related to an unset SYSTEM_XPDFRC macro in a Gentoo build process that uses the poppler library.
CVE-2009-1144 is a security vulnerability that . Impacting 3 products from foolabs, from glyphandcog, from gentoo organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Originally identified in 2009, this vulnerability predates many modern security frameworks and practices. The vulnerability landscape of that era was characterized by different threat models and less mature defense mechanisms compared to contemporary standards.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For foolabs's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
