FreeBSD <= 6.4 Netgraph Local Privledge Escalation Exploit - [CVE: 2008-5736]

/*
* FreeBSD <= 6.4-RELEASE Netgraph Exploit
* by zx2c4
*
*
* This is an exploit for CVE-2008-5736, the FreeBSD protosw
* and loosely based on Don Bailey's 2008 exploit -
* http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/7581/ . The thing with
* Don's exploit is that it relies on having a known location
* of allproc, which means having access to the kernel or
* debugging symbols, either of which might not be available.
* Initial attempts included a general memory search for some
* characteristics of allproc, but this was difficult to make
* reliable. This solution here is a much more standard - get
* the current thread, change its permissions, and execl to
* shell. Additionally, it breaks out of chroots and freebsd
* jails by reparenting to pid 1 and copying its fds.
*
* This reliably works on kernels on or below 6.4-RELEASE:
*
* $ gcc a.c
* $ ./a.out
* ~ FreeBSD <= 6.4-RELEASE Netgraph Exploit ~
* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by zx2c4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* ~~~~~ greetz to don bailey, edemveiss ~~~~~
*
* [+] mmapping null page
* [+] adding jmp to pwnage in null page
* [+] opening netgraph socket
* [+] triggering null dereference
* [+] elevating permissions
* [+] got root!
* #
*
* It's an oldie, but simple enough that someone needed
* to write another PoC exploit at some point.
*
* cheers,
* zx2c4, 27-2-2011
