[FD] xglance-bin exploit (CVE-2014-2630)

[redazione@xxxxxxxxxxx]

In one of our recent penetration tests we have abused a vulnerability affecting 
a suid binary called “xglance-bin“. Part of HP Performance Monitoring solution, 
it allowed us to escalate our local unprivileged sessions on some Linux RHEL 
6.x/7.x/8.x systems to root. To be very honest, it was not the first time we 
leveraged that specific vulnerability as we abused it frequently on many HP 
servers with RHEL installed since 2014.

There has been indeed a CVE registered for the flaw 
([CVE-2014-2630](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-2630)) 
originally discovered by Tim Brown from Portcullis. However the CVE description 
for it was a bit criptic (aka completely useless) -> “Unspecified vulnerability 
in HP Operations Agent 11.00, when Glance is used, allows local users to gain 
privileges via unknown vectors“.
 
Unspecified vulnerability? Unknown vector? Well… not that much. As there is no 
trace in the internet of a public exploit, we have decided to release it.
