This Metasploit module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in the dtappgather executable included with Common Desktop Environment (CDE) on unpatched Solaris systems prior to Solaris 10u11 which allows users to gain root privileges. dtappgather allows users to create a user-owned directory at any location on the filesystem using the DTUSERSESSION environment variable. This Metasploit module creates a directory in /usr/lib/locale, writes a shared object to the directory, and runs the specified SUID binary with the shared object loaded using the LC_TIME environment variable. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on: Solaris 9u7 (09/04) (x86); Solaris 10u1 (01/06) (x86); Solaris 10u2 (06/06) (x86); Solaris 10u4 (08/07) (x86); Solaris 10u8 (10/09) (x86); Solaris 10u9 (09/10) (x86).
