Proof:
Running LinEnum.sh , we can see that we can run gcore as root without the need for a password!
gcore is an application for dumping information out of memory for running processes.
Looking down further, we see an interesting SUID file /usr/bin/password-store.
We can check if this is a running process that can be dumped with gcore.
ps aux | grep password-store
We can attempt to dump this with gcore using the following command:
sudo -u root /usr/bin/gcore -a -o /home/charles/output 495
We can then move to the output destination directory and run the strings command to see if there is anything useful here.
Interestingly, in the output of the text, we see a field '001 Password: root:' and a password under it.
Using it, we can get root using the su command.
