Apple OS X DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE Privilege Escalation vulnerability allows arbitrary file writing as root via restricted binaries

Code
`##  
# This module requires Metasploit: http://metasploit.com/download

super(update_info(info,  
'Name' => 'Apple OS X DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE Privilege Escalation',  
'Description' => %q{  
In Apple OS X 10.10.4 and prior, the DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE environment  
variable is used for redirecting logging data to a file instead of  
stderr. Due to a design error, this feature can be abused by a local  
attacker to write arbitrary files as root via restricted, SUID-root  
binaries.
