CVE-2009-0854
Untrusted search path vulnerability in dash 0.5.4, when used as a login shell, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse .profile file in the current working directory.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
