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.
