FreeBSD critical security patch arrived

I.   Background

The run-time link-editor, rtld, links dynamic executable with their
needed libraries at run-time.  It also allows users to explicitly
load libraries via various LD_ environmental variables.

II.  Problem Description

When running setuid programs rtld will normally remove potentially
dangerous environment variables.  Due to recent changes in FreeBSD
environment variable handling code, a corrupt environment may
result in attempts to unset environment variables failing.

III. Impact

An unprivileged user who can execute programs on a system can gain
the privileges of any setuid program which he can run.  On most
systems configurations, this will allow a local attacker to execute
code as the root user.

Of course there is no workaround is available.
But finnaly the official patch for FreeBSD is arrived!

b) Execute the following commands as root:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf
# make obj && make depend && make && make install

There are few exploits circulating on the net that uses such vulnerability to gain access to local root on most FreeBSD systems.
