The log file is created with\n          the privileges of the running process, resulting in privilege escalation\n          when used in combination with a SUID executable.\n\n          This module writes a shared object to the trusted library directory\n          `/usr/lib/secure` and runs the specified SUID binary with the shared\n          object loaded using the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable.\n\n          This module has been tested successfully with libnspr version 4.5.1\n          on Solaris 10u1 (01/06) (x86) and Solaris 10u2 (06/06) (x86).",
