          VMWare Workstation (up to and including 9.0.2 build-1031769)
          and Player have a setuid executable called vmware-mount that
          invokes lsb_release in the PATH with popen(3). Since PATH is
          user-controlled, and the default system shell on
          Debian-derived distributions does not drop privs, we can put
          an arbitrary payload in an executable called lsb_release and
          have vmware-mount happily execute it as root for us.
