Description:
================

Metasploit plugin 'pcap_log' is vulnerable to an arbitrary file overwrite bug
which can further be leveraged to insert user-controlled data resulting in
potential escalation of privileges

Timeline:

16 July 2012 - Reported
16 July 2012 - Acknowledged & fixed by HD Moore
https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/commit/428a98c1d1d5341d32ffe0ed380d06a327ed2740
16 July 2012 - Public disclosure
http://0a29.blogspot.com/2012/07/0a29-12-2-metasploit-pcaplog-plugin.html
================
Details:
================

By default the pcap_log plugin (plugins/pcap_log.rb) logs pcap to a file like
'/tmp/msf3-session_2012-07-16_15-15-35.pcap'. This is of course is
predictable so a simple 'ln' in advance to a privileged file will
result in arbitrary file overwrite. The module has to run as root.

Here's the fun part - by sending packets we can then insert our own
content into any file (surrounded by pcap headers and all
the other packets)
