RISE-2006001 X11R6 XKEYBOARD extension Strcmp() buffer overflow vulnerability Released: September 07, 2006 Last updated: September 07, 2006 INTRODUCTION There exists a vulnerability within a string manipulation function of the X11R6 (X11R6.4 and lower) X Window System library, which when properly exploited can lead to local compromise of the vulnerable system. This vulnerability was silently fixed in X11R6.5.1 release, but it is still present in multiple vendors operating systems source tree. This vulnerability was confirmed by us in the following versions and operating systems, other versions and operating systems may be also affected. Sun Solaris 10 SPARC/x86 Sun Solaris 9 SPARC/x86 Sun Solaris 8 SPARC/x86 SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 DETAILS This vulnerability can be triggered by invoking a dynamicaly linked binary, with _XKB_CHARSET environment variable set to a long string value, and DISPLAY environment variable set to a X Window System server with the XKEYBOARD extension enabled. This is the vulnerable function (from X11R6.4). static int #if NeedFunctionPrototypes Strcmp(char *str1, char *str2) #else Strcmp(str1, str2) char *str1, *str2; #endif { char str[256]; char c, *s; for (s = str; c = *str1++; ) { if (isupper(c)) c = tolower(c); *s++ = c; } *s = '\0'; return (strcmp(str, str2)); } The proof of concept codes we have written for this vulnerability can be found in appendix section of this document. All source codes from this document can be also downloaded from our website. http://www.risesecurity.org/ VENDOR Sun has released patches for this vulnerability, the Sun Alert ID is 102570 and it is available at the following URL: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102570-1 SCO did not answer to our email.
