Need help escalating privileges on linux kernel 2.4.20-8

Hi Guys,

I'm learning penetration testing and need some help with escalating my privileges on a Red Hat 9 (Shrike - kernel 2.4.20-8 - http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/iso/i386/) test VM. I'm stuck.... I'm using this exploit (https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/160/) and keep getting "Segmentation fault" errors. I've tried others as well that should work but all appear to give me the same error. I could not find any helpful information on how to resolve this. I've tried debugging the code but I'm not a programmer so it's been a pain, also tired changing RAM size and running the VM on different host machines as some suggested online but no luck. Anyone has any ideas or suggestions? I can provide more information if need be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looking at the code, what happens when you run the command with

./mremap_pte /bin/ping /bin/bash

 ?

 

If that doesn't work, and since this is an old kernel, 2 words. Dirty Cow.

I had thought it wanted you to pass the program it was going to exploit with the setuid and then what shell you wanted, but guess that isn't how it works. Either way. Dirty Cow will do what you want(or should). Just have to find the port for RHL. https://dirtycow.ninja/
