Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 3 public exploits for CVE-2016-15045. PoCs published by Metasploit, King's Way, King, , # Discovery and exploit, including Metasploit module exploits/linux/local/lastore_daemon_dbus_priv_esc.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This Metasploit module exploits a D-Bus privilege escalation vulnerability in lastore-daemon on Deepin Linux, allowing users in the sudo group to install arbitrary packages without a password, leading to root code execution.

Description

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in lastore-daemon, the system package manager daemon used in Deepin Linux (developed by Wuhan Deepin Technology Co., Ltd.). In versions 0.9.53-1 (Deepin 15.5) and 0.9.66-1 (Deepin 15.7), the D-Bus configuration permits any user in the sudo group to invoke the InstallPackage method without password authentication. By default, the first user created on Deepin is in the sudo group. An attacker with shell access can craft a .deb package containing a malicious post-install script and use dbus-send to install it via lastore-daemon, resulting in arbitrary code execution as root.
