************************************************************** Title: Synology DSM multiple vulnerabilities Version affected: <= 4.3-3776 Vendor: Synology Discovered by: Andrea Fabrizi Email: andrea.fabrizi@gmail.com Web: http://www.andreafabrizi.it Twitter: @andreaf83 Status: unpatched ************************************************************** Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) it's a Linux based operating system, used for the DiskStation and RackStation products. 1] ======== Remote file download ======== Any authenticated user, even with the lowest privilege, can download any system file, included the /etc/shadow, samba password files and files owned by the other DSM users, without any restriction. The vulnerability is located in "/webman/wallpaper.cgi". The CGI takes as parameter the full path of the image to download, encoded in ASCII Hex format. The problem is that any file type can be downloaded (not only images) and the path validation is very poor. In fact the CGI checks only if the path starts with an allowed directory (like /usr/syno/synoman/webman), and this kind of protection can be easily bypassed using the ../ attack. For example to access the /etc/shadow: 2f7573722f73796e6f2f73796e6f6d616e2f7765626d616e2f2e2e2f2e2e2f2e2e2f2e2e2f6574632f736861646f77 (/usr/syno/synoman/webman/../../../../etc/shadow) ------------------------------------------ GET /webman/wallpaper.cgi?path=AABBCCDDEEFF11223344 HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:5000 Cookie: stay_login=0; id=XXXXXXXXXXX ------------------------------------------ 2] ======== Command injection ======== A command injection vulnerability, present on the "/webman/modules/ControlPanel/ modules/externaldevices.cgi" CGI, allows any administrative user to execute arbitrary commands on the system, with root privileges. ------------------------------------------ POST /webman/modules/ControlPanel/modules/externaldevices.cgi HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:5000 User-Agent: ls Cookie: stay_login=0; id=XXXXXXXXXXX Content-Length: 128 action=apply&device_name=aa&printerid=1.1.1.1-aa';$HTTP_USER_AGENT>/tmp/output+%23&printer_mode=netPrinter&eject_netprinter=true ------------------------------------------ Putting the command to execute as the User Agent string, after the request the output will be ready into the /tmp/output file. 3] ======== Partial remote content download ======== For the localization DSM uses some CGI, that takes the lang parameter (e.g. "enu" for english) and returns a Json object containing the localized strings in a dictionary format. The strings are taken from a local file with the following path: [current_dir]/texts/[lang_parameter_value]/strings The "/strings" appended at the end of the path prevents a path injection, because any value injected using the "lang" parameter will be invalidated (in other words, it's possible to read only files named "strings"). But, the interesting thing is that the full path of the strings files is built using a snprintf function like that: snprintf(&s, 0x80u, "texts/%s/strings", lang) This means that putting a lang value big enough, it's possible to overflow the 128 byte allowed by the snprintf and take out the "/strings" from the built path. For example, the lang value ".///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////../../../../../etc/synoinfo.conf" allow to get the /etc/synoinfo.conf file content. The second problem is that the input file taken by the CGI must be formatted in a key/value way: key1=string1 In other words, to get some content from a generic file it's necessary that the file contains at least an "=" for each line (this is the reason why I called the vulnerability "Partial remote content download"). At first glance it may seems very limiting, but, seen that it's possible to read directly from the disk block device (e.g. /dev/vg1000/lv), the amount of data dumped is very huge. In my tests I was able to dump around the 25/30% of the drive (tested with mixed content, like documents, images, generic files). It's possible to dump data from any drive connected. Interesting data can be also dumped from the /proc vfs. This vulnerability impacts two different CGI and is exploitable without authentication by any remote user: /scripts/uistrings.cgi /webfm/webUI/uistrings.cgi ------------------------------------------ GET /scripts/uistrings.cgi?lang=XXXXXXXXX HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:5000 ------------------------------------------ In the system there are two other uistrings.cgi, but are not affected. 4] XSS A classic Cross-site scripting affects the following CGI: /webman/info.cgi?host=XXXX&target=XXXX&add=XXXX
