LD_PRELOAD Exploit in initscript
This exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability in the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to execute arbitrary code. It specifically targets the initscript file on Red Hat 6.0 and potentially other systems. It creates a file called /etc/initscript and modifies its contents to copy /bin/bash to /var/tmp/.nothing, set the setuid bit on /var/tmp/.nothing, and then remove /etc/initscript.
