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
