--- title: "CVE-2011-1658\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2011-1658?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2011-1658 Publication date 8 April 2011 Last updated 24 July 2024 --- Ubuntu priority **Negligible** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier expands the $ORIGIN dynamic string token when RPATH is composed entirely of this token, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program with this RPATH value, and then executing the program with a crafted value for the LD\_PRELOAD environment variable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3847 and CVE-2011-0536. NOTE: it is not expected that any standard operating-system distribution would ship an applicable setuid or setgid program.
