How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 nscd to version 0:2.12-1.7.el6_0.3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nscd package and not the nscd package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.11.3, and 2.12.x before 2.12.2, does not properly restrict use of the LD_AUDIT environment variable to reference dynamic shared objects (DSOs) as audit objects, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging an unsafe DSO located in a trusted library directory, as demonstrated by libpcprofile.so.
