Ensure that none of the directories in root's path is equal to a single '.'
character, or
that it contains any instances that lead to relative path traversal, such as '..'
or beginning a path without the slash ('/') character.
Also ensure that there are no "empty" elements in the path, such as in these examples:
PATH=:/bin
PATH=/bin:
PATH=/bin::/sbin
These empty elements have the same effect as a single '.' character.
