CVE-2011-1658
Status: ModifiedLow (3.7)—
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.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 3.7
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.31%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 22
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
