authenticated users\\

server operators\\

power users\\

network configuration operators

  they do not have a setuid bit, but have \texttt{runas} (asks for a

  password).\pause

CVE-2014-0476 \pcode{chkrootkit} vulnerability 4 Jun'14\medskip

\begin{quote}\rm\small

Hi,

we just found a serious vulnerability in the chkrootkit package, which

may allow local attackers to gain root access to a box in certain

configurations (\pcode{/tmp} not mounted noexec). Steps to reproduce:

\begin{itemize}

\item Put an executable file named \pcode{update} with non-root owner in 

\pcode{/tmp} (not mounted noexec, obviously)

\item Run chkrootkit (as uid \pcode{0})

\end{itemize}

Result: The file \pcode{/tmp/update} will be executed as root, thus effectively

rooting your box, if malicious content is placed inside the file.

If an attacker knows you are periodically running chkrootkit (like in

\pcode{cron.daily}) and has write access to \pcode{/tmp} (not mounted noexec), he may

easily take advantage of this.

\frametitle{Setuid and Setgid}

The solution is that Unix file permissions are 9 + \underline{2 Bits}:

\alert{Setuid} and \alert{Setgid} bits

\begin{itemize}

\item When a file with setuid is executed, the resulting process will

  assume the UID given to the \underline{owner} of the file.

\item This enables users to create processes as root (or another

  user).\bigskip

\item Essential for changing passwords, for example.
