What is this
This is Max Kellermann's exploit POC for DirtyPipe, but modified to overwrite root's password field in /etc/passwd and restore after popping a shell.
How to use this
Run ./compile.sh
then ./exploit
and it'll pop a root shell.
su: must be run from a terminal
- If you get this error message, login as
root
with the passwordaaron
. - Then, restore
/etc/passwd
by runningmv /tmp/passwd.bak /etc/passwd
