CWE Code: 264
Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 3.7
CWE Name:  Permissions Privileges and Access Controls
Summary: ld.so in the gnu c library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier expands the $origin dynamic string token when rpath is composed entirely of this token, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program with this rpath value, and then executing the program with a crafted value for the ld_preload environment variable, a different vulnerability than cve-2010-3847 and cve-2011-0536.  note: it is not expected that any standard operating-system distribution would ship an applicable setuid or setgid program.
Access Authentication: NONE
Access Complexity: HIGH
Access Vector: LOCAL
Impact (C/I/A): PARTIAL/PARTIAL/PARTIAL
