A local attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code in setuid programs and gain administrative privileges. A memory leak was discovered in the _dl_init_paths function in the GNU C library dynamic loader. A local attacker could potentially exploit this with a specially crafted value in the LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable, in combination with CVE-2017-1000409 and another vulnerability on a system with hardlink protections disabled, in order to gain administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
