A SUID root-owned binary in /home/xd/terminal/XDTerminal in International Data Casting (IDC) SFX2100 on Linux allows a local actor to potentially preform local privilege escalation depending on conditions of the system via execution of the affected SUID binary. This can be via PATH hijacking, symlink abuse or shared object hijacking.

International Data Casting (IDC) SFX2100 satellite receiver comes with the /bin/date utility installed with the setuid bit set. This configuration grants elevated privileges to any local user who can execute the binary. A local actor is able to use the GTFObins resource to preform privileged file reads as the root user on the local file system. This allows an actor to be able to read any root read-only files, such as the /etc/shadow file or other configuration/secrets carrier files.

International Data Casting (IDC) SFX2100 satellite receiver comes with the /sbin/ip utility installed with the setuid bit set. This configuration grants elevated privileges to any local user who can execute the binary. A local actor is able to use the GTFObins resource to preform privileged file reads as the root user on the local file system and may potentially lead to other avenues for preforming privileged actions.
