CVE-2011-1658 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-1658): 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. With regard to the $ORIGIN debate from a while ago, I'd rather ask despite the "NOTE": Is Gentoo affected by this? Please not that this is apparently not the same issue.
should be addressed in glibc-2.14.1+
