Re: Any suggests about a possible LRE (local root escalation)

Uploading a setuid binary in your own dir wont work? Something like the sh
binary with setuid root? Upload it and run it from the shell.. I have tried
this on a RHEL 4 machine and it worked actually but could have been a fluke.

Hi list,

We are pen-testing a couple of a company webserver that hosts
something like many thousand websites. We got a shell working through
a remote file inclusion vulnerability we found. We are in but there
seems to be no apps we could "use" to gain a root escalation from the
local low-priviledges shell. OS is centOS 4.4 and kernel is
2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp. Do you have any ideas to gain a root escalation
over this OS/kernel configuration?
Any help will be apprecied.

Thanks in advance
