It was found that the Berkeley DB reads DB_CONFIG from the current working directory, leading to information leak by tricking privileged processes into reading arbitrary files.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 4.7.25-21+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your db4.7 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
