OpenBSD Dynamic Loader chpass Privilege Escalation. Exploits vulnerability in OpenBSD `ld.so` dynamic loader (CVE-2019-19726). Abuses `_dl_getenv()` to load `libutil.so` via `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` with `chpass` set-uid executable, achieving privileged code execution

          This module exploits a vulnerability in the OpenBSD `ld.so`
          dynamic loader (CVE-2019-19726).

          The `_dl_getenv()` function fails to reset the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
          environment variable when set with approximately `ARG_MAX` colons.

          This can be abused to load `libutil.so` from an untrusted path,
          using `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` in combination with the `chpass` set-uid
          executable, resulting in privileged code execution.

          This module has been tested successfully on:

          OpenBSD 6.1 (amd64); and
          OpenBSD 6.6 (amd64)
