## Vulnerable Application
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
This module exploits a SUID installation of the Emacs `movemail` utility
|
|
to run a command as root by writing to 4.3BSD's `/usr/lib/crontab.local`.
|
|
|
|
The vulnerability is documented in Cliff Stoll's book *The Cuckoo's Egg*.
|
|
|
|
### Setup
|
|
|
|
A Docker environment for 4.3BSD on VAX is available at
|
|
<https://github.com/wvu/ye-olde-bsd>.
|
|
|
|
For manual setup, please follow the Computer History Wiki's
|
|
[guide](http://gunkies.org/wiki/Installing_4.3_BSD_on_SIMH) or Allen
|
|
Garvin's [guide](http://plover.net/~agarvin/4.3bsd-on-simh.html) if
|
|
you're using [Quasijarus](http://gunkies.org/wiki/4.3_BSD_Quasijarus).
|
|
|
|
### Targets
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Id Name
|
|
-- ----
|
|
0 /usr/lib/crontab.local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verification Steps
|
|
|
|
Follow [Setup](#setup) and [Scenarios](#scenarios).
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
**MOVEMAIL**
|
|
|
|
Set this to the absolute path to the SUID-root `movemail` executable.
|
|
|
|
**CMD**
|
|
|
|
If your payload is `cmd/unix/generic` (suggested default), set this to
|
|
the command you want to run as root. The provided default will create a
|
|
SUID-root shell at `/tmp/sh`.
|
|
|
|
