I looked through the source to check if there was to see if there was any variable there that could be used to gain immediate root-access on all Linux-systems, but found none... Havn't found any other way to gain immediate root-access with this one, w/o another bug being present to trash a library 'n then start a static shell and put the lib there again... or ofcourse, the system can have old libraries for new files... but I guess that isn't very usual ;) or if there's a way to use another cache-file... Well.. If anyone have anyone has gotten another answer in their search, then please let us (or atleast me ;)) know.. =) Btw... While looking through the source I found an overflow for LD_PRELOAD on the same line..... perhaps it's a remote vuln. for old dists who has the old 'libroot' bug...
