      'Description'    => %q{
        This module attempts to gain root privileges on Linux systems by abusing
        a vulnerability in the GNU C Library (glibc) dynamic linker.

        glibc ld.so in versions before 2.11.3, and 2.12.x before 2.12.2 does not
        properly restrict use of the LD_AUDIT environment variable when loading
        setuid executables. This allows loading arbitrary shared objects from
        the trusted library search path with the privileges of the suid user.

        This module uses LD_AUDIT to load the libpcprofile.so shared object,
        distributed with some versions of glibc, and leverages arbitrary file
        creation functionality in the library constructor to write a root-owned
        world-writable file to a system trusted search path (usually /lib).
        The file is then overwritten with a shared object then loaded with
        LD_AUDIT resulting in arbitrary code execution.

        This module has been tested successfully on glibc version 2.11.1 on
        Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 and version 2.7 on Debian 5.0.4 i386.

        RHEL 5 is reportedly affected, but untested. Some glibc distributions
        do not contain the libpcprofile.so library required for successful
        exploitation.
