=======================
Product: Check_mk
Vendor URL: https://mathias-kettner.de/check_mk.html
Type: Race Condition [CWE-362]
Date found: 2017-09-21
Date published: 2017-10-18

CVE: CVE-2017-14955
2. CREDITS
==========
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Julien Ahrens from
RCE Security.
3. VERSIONS AFFECTED
====================
Check_mk v1.2.8p25
Check_mk v1.2.8p25 Enterprise
older versions may be affected too.
4. INTRODUCTION
===============
Check_MK is comprehensive IT monitoring solution in the tradition of Nagios.
Check_MK is available as Raw Edition, which is 100% pure open source, and as
Enterprise Edition with a lot of additional features and professional support.
(from the vendor's homepage)
5. VULNERABILITY DETAILS
========================
Check_mk is vulnerable to an unauthenticated information disclosure through a
race condition during the authentication process when trying to authenticate
with a valid username and an invalid password.
On a failed login, the application calls the function save_users(), which
performs two os.rename operations on the files "contacts.mk.new" and
"users.mk.new" (see /packages/check_mk/check_mk-1.2.8p25/web/htdocs/userdb.py):
[..]
# Check_MK's monitoring contacts
filename = root_dir + "contacts.mk.new"
out = create_user_file(filename, "w")
out.write("# Written by Multisite UserDB\n# encoding: utf-8\n\n")
out.write("contacts.update(\n%s\n)\n" % pprint.pformat(contacts))
out.close()
os.rename(filename, filename[:-4])
# Users with passwords for Multisite
filename = multisite_dir + "users.mk.new"
make_nagios_directory(multisite_dir)
out = create_user_file(filename, "w")
out.write("# Written by Multisite UserDB\n# encoding: utf-8\n\n")
out.write("multisite_users = \\\n%s\n" % pprint.pformat(users))
out.close()
os.rename(filename, filename[:-4])
[...]
When sending many concurrent authentication requests with an existing/valid
username, such as:
POST /check_mk/login.py HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="_login"
Login
---9519178121294961341040589727--
Then it could happen that one of both os.rename() calls references a non-
existing file, which has just been renamed by a previous thread. This causes the
Python script to fail and throw a crash report, which discloses a variety of
sensitive information, such as internal server paths, account details including
hashed passwords:
</pre></td></tr><tr class="data odd0"><td class="left">Local Variables</td><td><pre>{'contacts': {u'admin': {'alias': u'Administrator',
'contactgroups': ['all'],
'disable_notifications': False,
'email': u'admin@example.com',
'enforce_pw_change': False,
'last_pw_change': 0,
'last_seen': 0.0,
'locked': False,
'num_failed': 0,
'pager': '',
'password': '$1$400000$13371337asdfasdf',

'serial': 2},

# Exploit Title: Check_mk <=3D v1.2.8p25 save_users() Race Condition
# Version: <=3D 1.2.8p25

# CVE:=09=09 CVE-2017-14955
#
# Howto / Notes:
# This scripts exploits the Race Condition in check_mk version 1.2.8p25 and
# below as described by CVE-2017-14955. You only need a valid username to
# dump all encrypted passwords and make sure to setup a local proxy to
# catch the dump. Happy brute forcing ;-)

7. RISK
=======
To successfully exploit this vulnerability an unauthenticated attacker must only
have network-level access to the application.
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to trigger an exception, which
discloses a variety of sensitive internal information such as:
- Local server paths
- Usernames
- Passwords (hashed)
- and user directory-specific attributes (i.e. LDAP)
8. SOLUTION
===========
Update to 1.2.8p26.
