glibc: LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC not ignored in setuid binaries

Published Nov 19, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 3.3 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
On the x86-64 architecture, the GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.31 fails to ignore the LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC environment variable during program execution after a security transition, allowing local attackers to restrict the possible mapping addresses for loaded libraries and thus bypass ASLR for a setuid program.
