Via Insecure RPATH in HP Array Configuration Utility, HP Array
Diagnostics Utility, HP ProLiant Array Diagnostics and SmartSSD Wear
Gauge Utility Running on Linux
CVE: CVE-2013-6216
Vendor: HP
Product: HP Array Configuration Utility, HP Array Diagnostics Utility,
HP ProLiant Array Diagnostics and SmartSSD Wear Gauge Utility Running on
Linux
Affected version: 9.40
Fixed version: N/A
Reported by: Tim Brown

Details:

It has been identified that binaries that are executed with elevated
privileges (SetGID and SetUID programs) have been compiled in manner
that means they searched for libraries in insecure locations.

SUIDFILE='/opt/hp/hpadu/bld/hpipcclient' SUIDFILELS='-rwsr-sr-- 1 root hpsmh 32752 Dec 13 2012 /opt/hp/hpadu/bld/hpipcclient' RPATH='' RPATHRELATIVE=yes RPATHLS=N/A RAPTHEXISTS=N/A ISBAD=yes
SUIDFILE='/opt/compaq/cpqacuxe/bld/hpipcclient' SUIDFILELS='-rwsr-Sr-- 1 root root 32752 Dec 13 2012 /opt/compaq/cpqacuxe/bld/hpipcclient' RPATH='' RPATHRELATIVE=yes RPATHLS=N/A RAPTHEXISTS=N/A ISBAD=yes

An attacker could place a malicious library in one of the affected
directories, which would then be loaded when the affected program is
run, leading to privilege escalation in instances where the program runs
with privileges that the attacker does not have.
