Impact :

    A local attacker could prepare a specially crafted .valgrindrc file and
    entice a user to run Valgrind from the directory containing that file,
    resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
    user running Valgrind.
  
Workaround :

    Do not run 'valgrind' from untrusted working directories."
