# Exploit Title: File Existence Disclosure in PackageKit < 1.1.13-2ubuntu1
# Exploit Author: Vaisha Bernard (vbernard - at - eyecontrol.nl)
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/
# Software Link: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/
# Version: <= 1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu32.1
# Tested on: Ubuntu 20.04
#
#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# Ubuntu 16.04 - 20.04 
# PackageKit <= 1.1.13-2ubuntu1
# Sensitive Information Disclosure
# 
#
# Reference: https://www.eyecontrol.nl/blog/the-story-of-3-cves-in-ubuntu-desktop.html
#
# The InstallFiles, GetFilesLocal and GetDetailsLocal methods 
# of the d-bus interface to PackageKit accesses given files 
# before checking for authorization. This allows non-privileged 
# users to learn the MIME type of any file on the system.
# 
# Example in attached Python script:
# 
# $ python3 test_file_exists_pk.py /root/.bashrc
# File exists and is of MIME type: 'text/plain'
# 
# $ python3 test_file_exists_pk.py /root/.bashrca
# File does not exist
#
#
