Adp Elite system is an invoice/purchase order suite very common in car dealerships. It's a telnet based system. When a user logs in via telnet, adp dumps the user into the program where the user can check on a vehicle's status, generate PO's and RO's, etc.... The program is rather large and runs on a linux based system. Usually ftp is running as well. A user with a valid login name/pass... eh...cough...ettercap...cough is able to upload/download things into/from their directory... usually something like /adp/home/.... by default there is a .profile containing this little gem... # ADPROOT is equivalent to REALROOT on CoRA systems ADPROOT=${ADPROOT:="/adp"} export ADPROOT download it... modify it to # ADPROOT is equivalent to REALROOT on CoRA systems ADPROOT=${ADPROOT:="/"} export ADPROOT then upload it... now login via telnet... and bingo now you have a $hell fix: chown root:root .profile credit: rootfiend questions/comments: rootfiend@safe-mail.net _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
