Description

This module targets a directory traversal vulnerability in the kcms_server component from the Kodak Color Management System. By utilizing the ToolTalk Database Server\'s TT_ISBUILD procedure, an attacker can bypass existing directory traversal validation and read arbitrary files. Vulnerable systems include Solaris 2.5 - 9 SPARC and x86. Both kcms_server and rpc.ttdbserverd must be running on the target host.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/admin/sunrpc/solaris_kcms_readfile
msf auxiliary(solaris_kcms_readfile) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(solaris_kcms_readfile) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(solaris_kcms_readfile) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(solaris_kcms_readfile) > run 

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.
