Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
elf/dl-load.c in ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.11.2, and 2.12.x through 2.12.1, does not properly handle a value of $ORIGIN for the LD_AUDIT environment variable, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted dynamic shared object (DSO) located in an arbitrary directory.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
