Overview
Disk Group Privilege Escalation is a complex attack method targeting vulnerabilities or misconfigurations within the disk group management system of Linux environments. Attackers might focus on disk devices such as /dev/sda, which represents the primary hard drive in Linux systems and is commonly associated with the first SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) disk device, during Disk Group Privilege Escalation attacks. Attackers exploit vulnerabilities or misconfigurations linked to /dev/sda and similar devices to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or exploit associated vulnerabilities. By manipulating permissions or exploiting misconfigurations concerning disk devices, attackers aim to escalate their privileges or access critical system resources.
Lab Setup
In this article, we are going to exploit the disk group privilege escalation vulnerability on the ubuntu machine and obtain the root access. Following are the machines:
Target Machine: Ubuntu (192.168.1.6)
Attacker Machine: Kali Linux (192.168.1.7)
Configuration
Let’s start by creating a new user raj in the ubuntu machine.
adduser raj
