What is CVE-2017-13130?

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in BMC Patrol due to improper handling of the setuid root permission on the libmcmclnx.so file. Local users can exploit this issue by placing a crafted version of the library in the current working directory, allowing them to gain elevated privileges. This flaw arises from the RPATH variable beginning with the .: substring, which facilitates loading malicious code.
