Loading vulnerability…
The srsexec utility in the Sun Remote Services (SRS) Net Connect Software Proxy Core package on Sun Solaris 10 does not properly enforce file permissions when opening files. A local user can abuse the -d and -v command-line options to cause srsexec to open arbitrary files and disclose their first line, even when normal file permission checks should prevent access. This is a local information disclosure issue caused by improper access control during file handling.

This repository contains a single Metasploit post-exploitation module targeting a local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2007-2617) in NetCommander 3.2.3 and 3.2.5 on Solaris. The exploit leverages the setuid srsexec binary, which, when run in debug and verbose mode, allows an unprivileged user to read the first line of any file as root. The module is designed to extract sensitive information, most notably the root password hash from /etc/shadow, and add it to the Metasploit credential database. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, with checks for the vulnerable version and setuid bit. The attack vector is local, requiring an existing session on the target. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the srsexec binary and the /etc/shadow file. The module is operational and suitable for use in post-exploitation scenarios.
