            Status: NEW

          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---
             Flags: security+

Qualys Research Labs reported that the use in alloca in the dynamic linker,
specifically while processing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, allows local
attackers to conduct generic privilege escalation attacks against
SUID/AT_SECURE=1 binaries.
