I don't know, sounds weird to me. If, for whatever reason, a user is able to write an ifcf-<whatever> script to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts or it can adjust an existing one, then your system in pwned. Network scripts, ifcg-eth0 for example are used for network connections. The look exactly like .INI files. However, they are ~sourced~ on Linux by Network Manager (dispatcher.d). In my case, the NAME= attributed in these network scripts is not handled correctly. If you have white/blank space in the name the system tries to execute the part after the white/blank space. Which means; everything after the first blank space is executed as root. For example: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-1337 NAME=Network /bin/id <= Note the blank space ONBOOT=yes DEVICE=eth0 Yes, any script in that folder is executed by root because of the sourcing technique. Ex: . /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-1337 Me as a developer, I don't really get why you want to do it like this. Its just <~> So, if a use manage to get his hands on any of these files your box is gone. Protect them with your life. _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
