## Description

An issue was discovered in BMC Patrol Agent 9.0.10i. Weak execution permissions on the best1collect.exe SUID binary could allow an attacker to elevate his/her privileges to the ones of the "patrol" user by specially crafting a shared library .so file that will be loaded during execution.
