This is a simple PoC of CVE-2016-5195
(AKA Dirty COW) against an Ubuntu 16.04 VM spun up on Scaleway.
After downloading and compiling the PoC, we then create a file named /tmp/.pwn
. We can place what ever we want in this script, so long as it ends in /bin/bash
. We then save this file, and set it to executable.
We now use the PoC to overwrite the first line in /etc/passwd
, changing the default shell for the root
user to point to our malicious /tmp/.pwn
script.
Next time root
logs in, the script /tmp/.pwn
will execute. We of course could put a reverse shell in here, or any other piece of nastiness in order to elevate to root
.
