This executable can spawn an interactive system shell.
Unprivileged
This function can be performed by any unprivileged user.
split --filter='/bin/sh -i 0<&2 1>&2' /etc/hosts
Sudo
This function is performed by the privileged user if executed via sudo because the acquired privileges are
not dropped.
Remarks
If there are environment variables involved, they must be passed via sudo VAR=value ... or
exported then sudo -E ... .
split --filter='/bin/sh -i 0<&2 1>&2' /etc/hosts
SUID
This function is performed by the privileged user if the executable has the SUID bit set and the right
ownership because the effective privileges are not dropped.
Remarks
This executable runs commands using the system shell, e.g., via functions like system , so it only
works for distributions where the shell does not drop SUID privileges.
split --filter='/bin/sh -i 0<&2 1>&2' /etc/hosts
