Solaris srsexec Arbitrary File Reader
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in NetCommander 3.2.3 and 3.2.5. When srsexec is executed in debug (-d) verbose (-v) mode, the first line of an arbitrary file can be read due to the suid bit set. The most widely accepted exploitation vector is reading /etc/shadow, which will reveal root's hash for cracking.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
