Subject: <paths.h>: _PATH_DEFPATH contains `.'

Package: libc
Version: 4.6.27-6

#define _PATH_DEFPATH        "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:."

This should read "/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin", without the "."
entry.  Quite apart from the security implications, teaching new users
always to run their programs with "./foo" will stop them getting very
confused when they call their programs "test" :-).

Ian.
