This Metasploit module attempts to gain root privileges on RHEL systems with a vulnerable version of Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) configured as the crash handler. sosreport uses an insecure temporary directory, allowing local users to write to arbitrary files (CVE-2015-5287). This module has been tested successfully on abrt 2.1.11-12.el7 on RHEL 7.0 x86_64 and abrt 2.1.11-19.el7 on RHEL 7.1 x86_64.

2e6ff628343956da9862f4ece546ad0fa5bec7f2f3e42781031bd4c8eee3ff37Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2505-01 - ABRT is a tool to help users to detect defects in applications and to create a bug report with all the information needed by a maintainer to fix it. It uses a plug-in system to extend its functionality. libreport provides an API for reporting different problems in applications to different bug targets, such as Bugzilla, FTP, and Trac. It was found that the ABRT debug information installer did not use temporary directories in a secure way. A local attacker could use the flaw to create symbolic links and files at arbitrary locations as the abrt user.
