21
          This module exploits a vulnerability in the FreeBSD
22
          run-time link-editor (rtld).
23

24
          The rtld `unsetenv()` function fails to remove `LD_*`
25
          environment variables if `__findenv()` fails.
26

27
          This can be abused to load arbitrary shared objects using
28
          `LD_PRELOAD`, resulting in privileged code execution.
