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.
