################################################################################ # This is an exploit for CVE-2010-3856. # # A while back, Tavis showed us three ways to exploit flaws in glibc's dynamic # linker involving LD_AUDIT. [1] [2] # # The first way involved opening a file descriptor and using fexecve to easily # win a race with $ORIGIN. The problem was that this required having read # permissions on the SUID executables. Tavis recommended a work around involving # filling a pipe until it was full so that anything written to stderr would # block. This race, however, was not always successful. The third thing he # showed us was that LD_AUDIT would load any trusted library, and he pointed out # that libpcprofile.so could be jiggered to create a world writable root owned # file in any directory. One candidate would be to write something to a crontab. # What if, however, you don't have cron installed? He then went on to explain a # quite extensive search routine to find candidates for libraries to load. # # But why search, when you already can make a world writable root owned file in # any directory you want? The easier way is to use libpcprofile.so to create # such a file, and then fill that file with code you want to run. Then, run that # code using the same trick. Pretty simple, and it works. # # - zx2c4 # 2011-11-9 # # greets to taviso. # # [1] http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2010/Oct/257 # [2] http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2010/Oct/200 ################################################################################
