It has been discovered that Apache::Gallery, when using Inline C, stores shared libraries in an insecure fashion. As a result, an attacker may be capable of having malicious code linked into the Apache process. This could lead to a malicious local user gaining the privileges of the user invoking the Apache process, typically user nobody. It should be noted that for a successful exploitation, the libraries must be replaced prior to the Apache process being invoked.
