MikroTik RouterOS 6.45.6 - DNS Cache Poisoning

# Exploit Title: MikroTik RouterOS 6.45.6 - DNS Cache Poisoning
# Date: 2019-10-30
# Exploit Author: Jacob Baines
# Vendor Homepage: https://mikrotik.com/
# Software Link: https://mikrotik.com/download
# Version: 6.45.6 Stable (and below) or 6.44.5 Long-term (and below)
# Tested on: Various x86 and MIPSBE RouterOS installs
# CVE : CVE-2019-3978
# Writeup: https://medium.com/tenable-techblog/routeros-chain-to-root-f4e0b07c0b21
# Disclosure: https://www.tenable.com/security/research/tra-2019-46

# Unauthenticated DNS request via Winbox
# RouterOS before 6.45.7 (stable) and 6.44.6 (Long-term) allowed an unauthenticated remote user trigger DNS requests 
# to a user specified DNS server via port 8291 (winbox). The DNS response then gets cached by RouterOS, setting up 
# a perfect situation for unauthenticated DNS cache poisoning. This is assigned CVE-2019-3978.

# This PoC takes a target ip/port (router) and a DNS server (e.g. 8.8.8.8). 
# The PoC will always send a DNS request for example.com. In the following write up, 
# I detail how to use this to poison the routers cache:

# https://medium.com/tenable-techblog/routeros-chain-to-root-f4e0b07c0b21

# Note that the writup focuses on router's configured *without* the DNS server enabled. 
# Obviously this attack is significantly more powerful when downstream clients use the router as a DNS server.

## What are the build dependencies?
# This requires:

# * Boost 1.66 or higher
# * cmake

## How do I build this jawn?

# Just normal cmake. Try this:

# ```sh
# mkdir build
# cd build
# cmake ..
# make
# ```

# Resolve dependencies as needed.

## Usage Example

# ```sh
# albinolobster@ubuntu:~/routeros/poc/winbox_dns_request/build$ ./winbox_dns_request -i 192.168.1.50 -p 8291 -s 8.8.8.8
# -> {bff0005:1,u1:134744072,uff0006:1,uff0007:3,s3:'example.com',Uff0001:[14]}
# <- {u4:584628317,uff0003:2,uff0006:1,s3:'example.com',U6:[584628317],U7:[21496],Uff0001:[],Uff0002:[14],S5:['example.com']}
