Adobe Version Cue VCNative[OSX]: local root exploit.
Adobe Version Cue's VCNative program writes data to a log file in the current working directory while running as (setuid) root. The logfile is formated as <cwd>/VCNative-<pid>.log, which is easily predictable. An attacker can link this file to any file on the system and overwrite its contents. The exploit works by overwriting /etc/crontab with '* * * * * root echo "ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL">/etc/sudoers' and log garbage. Within a short period of time crontab will overwrite /etc/sudoers and "sudo sh" to root is possible.
Mitigation:
Restrict access to the VCNative program and ensure that it is not running with root privileges.
