Summary

The add_probe function in modutils/modprobe.c in BusyBox before 1.23.0 allows local users to bypass intended restrictions on loading kernel modules via a / (slash) character in a module name, as demonstrated by an "ifconfig /usbserial up" command or a "mount -t /snd_pcm none /" command.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9645)

It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled certain ZIP
archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted ZIP archive, a remote attacker could cause BusyBox
to crash, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-9261)

Nico Golde discovered that the BusyBox DHCP client incorrectly handled
certain malformed domain names. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause the DHCP client to crash, leading to a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04
LTS. (CVE-2016-2147)

Nico Golde discovered that the BusyBox DHCP client incorrectly handled
certain 6RD options. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause
the DHCP client to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-2148)

It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled certain bzip2
archives. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially crafted bzip2 archive, a remote attacker could cause BusyBox
to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu
16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-15873)

It was discovered that BusyBox incorrectly handled tab completion. A
local attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary
code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
(CVE-2017-16544)

It was discovered that the BusyBox wget utility incorrectly handled
certain responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause
BusyBox to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-1000517)

It was discovered that the BusyBox DHCP utilities incorrectly handled
certain memory operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-20679, CVE-2019-5747).

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201503-13 (BusyBox: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in BusyBox. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A context-dependent attacker can load kernel modules without privileges by nullifying enforced module prefixes. Execution of arbitrary files or a Denial of Service can be caused through the included vulnerable LZO library. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
