#There is a vulnerability in Solaris's ff.core utility which allows normal users to execute the rename command as root. This particular bug when leveraged against a series of other configuration issues in a standard Solaris setup can lead to a root compromise. An example of this attack executed via the ff.core rename attack could be as follows:
#
#1. rename /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/admintool
#2. rename /usr/sbin/swmtool /usr/sbin/in.rlogind
#3. telnet localhost login and clean up
#
#Detailed messages concerning this problem and related fixes are attached to this Vulnerability in the Referance section. 
#
#CORE has developed a working commercial exploit for their IMPACT product. This exploit is not otherwise publicly available or known to be circulating in the wild.
#
#The following exploit was provided:

#!/bin/sh

# /usr/openwin/bin/ff.core exploit - horizon
# tested on 2.5.1, 2.6 and Solaris 7 (2.7)
# thanks to joej, adm, and joej :>

# if you want to exploit 2.5, you can just make this move /etc/group over
# /etc/shadow. you will probably want to move /etc/shadow to /etc/s.bak

# first test if we can pull this off
