ABRT sosreport Privilege Escalation
Posted by deepcore on September 25, 2019 – 6:01 am
This Metasploit module attempts to gain root privileges on RHEL systems with a vulnerable version of Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) configured as the crash handler. sosreport uses an insecure temporary directory, allowing local users to write to arbitrary files (CVE-2015-5287). This module has been tested successfully on abrt 2.1.11-12.el7 on RHEL 7.0 x86_64 and abrt 2.1.11-19.el7 on RHEL 7.1 x86_64.
