Mac OS X 10.9.5 / 10.10.5 rsh/libmalloc Privilege Escalation

Mac OS X 10.9.5 / 10.10.5 rsh/libmalloc Privilege Escalation
Posted Oct 27, 2015
Authored by rebel, shandelman116 | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module writes to the sudoers file without root access by exploiting rsh and malloc log files. Makes sudo require no password, giving access to su even if root is disabled. Works on OS X 10.9.5 to 10.10.5 (patched on 10.11).
