`Vulnerability title: SetUID/SetGID Programs Allow Privilege Escalation  
Via Insecure RPATH in BMC Patrol for AIX  
CVE: CVE-2014-2591  
Vendor: BMC  
Product: Patrol for AIX  
Affected version: 3.9.00  
Fixed version: N/A  
Reported by: Tim Brown  
  
Details:  
  
It has been identified that binaries that are executed with elevated  
privileges (SetGID and SetUID programs) have been compiled in manner  
that means they searched for libraries in insecure locations.  
  
SUIDFILE='/product/bmc/Patrol3/AIX6.1.0.0-64/best1/9.0.00/bgs/bin/bgscollect' SUIDFILELS='-r-sr-sr-x 1 root system 8745125 Apr 03 2012 /product/bmc/Patrol3/AIX6.1.0.0-64/best1/9.0.00/bgs/bin/bgscollect' RPATH='' RPATHRELATIVE=yes RPATHLS=N/A RAPTHEXISTS=N/A ISBAD=yes  
  
An attacker could place a malicious library in one of the affected  
directories, which would then be loaded when the affected program is  
run, leading to privilege escalation in instances where the program runs  
with privileges that the attacker does not have.
