CVE-2009-3894 dstat insecure module search path
Robert Buchholz of the Gentoo Security Team reported a flaw in the
Python module search path used in dstat. If a local attacker could trick
a local user into running dstat from a directory containing a Python
script that is named like an importable module, they could execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running dstat.
