 'Name' => 'Apple OS X DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE Privilege Escalation',
 'Description' => %q{
 In Apple OS X 10.10.4 and prior, the DYLD_PRINT_TO_FILE environment
 variable is used for redirecting logging data to a file instead of
 stderr. Due to a design error, this feature can be abused by a local
 attacker to write arbitrary files as root via restricted, SUID-root
 binaries.
