glibc is vulnerable to privilege escalation. It was discovered that the glibc addmntent() function did not sanitize its input properly. A local attacker could possibly use this flaw to inject malformed lines into /etc/mtab via certain setuid mount helpers, if the attacker were allowed to mount to an arbitrary directory under their control.
