Overview
The application changes the file access permissions. The extra permissions (e.g., the right to execute) for an unlimited number of users can facilitate the organization of the attack.
Unix-like systems use the commands MkdirAll, OpenFile, Chmod for rights management. Here, the “file” is understood in a broad sense - file, directory, socket, symbolic link, etc. For each file there are three groups of users: the file owner (user), the group to which the file owner belongs (group) and the rest (other). Each group can have the following access rights: read, write, and execute (abbreviated as r, w, and x, respectively).
