Description

This exploit takes advantage of xglance-bin, part of
HP's Glance (or Performance Monitoring) version 11 'and subsequent'
, which was compiled with an insecure RPATH option. The RPATH includes
a relative path to -L/lib64/ which can be controlled by a user.
Creating libraries in this location will result in an
escalation of privileges to root.
