Micro Focus (HPE) Data Protector SUID Privilege Escalation

This Metasploit module exploits the trusted $PATH environment variable of the SUID binary omniresolve in Micro Focus (HPE) Data Protector versions A.10.40 and below. The omniresolve executable calls the oracleasm binary using a relative path and the trusted environment $PATH, which allows an attacker to execute a custom binary with root privileges.

        This module exploits the trusted `$PATH` environment
        variable of the SUID binary `omniresolve` in
        Micro Focus (HPE) Data Protector A.10.40 and prior.

        The `omniresolve` executable calls the `oracleasm` binary using
        a relative path and the trusted environment `$PATH`, which allows
        an attacker to execute a custom binary with `root` privileges.

        This module has been successfully tested on:
        HPE Data Protector A.09.07: OMNIRESOLVE, internal build 110, built on Thu Aug 11 14:52:38 2016;
        Micro Focus Data Protector A.10.40: OMNIRESOLVE, internal build 118, built on Tue May 21 05:49:04 2019 on CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

        The vulnerability has been patched in:
        Micro Focus Data Protector A.10.40: OMNIRESOLVE, internal build 125, built on Mon Aug 19 19:22:20 2019
