# /usr/bin/passwd[OSX]: local root exploit.
#
# by: vade79/v9 v9@fakehalo.us (fakehalo/realhalo)
#
# (Apple) OSX's /usr/bin/passwd program has support for a custom
# passwd file to be used instead of the standard/static path. this
# feature has security issues in the form of editable file(s) being
# made anywheres on the disk and also writing arbitrary data to files.
#
# the first issue will only work if the file does not already exist,
# it is done using "umask 0;/usr/bin/passwd -i file -l
<filename>".
# the second issue is once a successful password change has occured
# /usr/bin/passwd will insecurely re-write the passwd file to
# /tmp/.pwtmp.<pid>, which can be predicted and linked to a file of
# your choice. (this exploits the second issue to overwrite
# /etc/sudoers)
#
# (for some reason this took apple 6 or so months to patch)
