For those who were not yet aware, there is at least 3 public exploits
since 11/05/2009 for CVE-2009-3547 targeting *all* linux kernels from
2.6.0 to 2.6.31 included. Since spender and fotis have already release
their own, there is not need for us to keep this on our hd.
ImpelDown.c is a poc trying to exploit null ptr dereference in fs/pipe.c
for *all* linux kernel from 2.6.0 to 2.6.31 and ImpelDown-2.6.31only.c
target only linux kernel version 2.6.31 (tested and approuved with
mmap_min_addr at 0).
If you were writing your own, you have already noticed that there is a
subtle difference in the way you can own kernels 2.6.0 up to 2.6.10 and
kernels 2.6.11 up to 2.6.31: in the first one the null ptr deref leads
to an arbitrary write to everywhere in the kernel since you have control
over the destination address of
linux2.6.9/fs/pipe.c
...
219 if (pipe_iov_copy_from_user(pipebuf, iov, chars)) {
...
In such case, we try to exploit this by overwriting and old and obsolete
syscall address in the sys_call_table by our privilege escalator function
address (hehe old school trickz are always the best).
In kernels 2.6.11 up to 2.6.31, exploitation simply resume in mapping the correct
struct pipe_inode_info at NULL and the kernel will call a fptr under our control
at inode->i_pipe->bufs[1-16].ops->something()
You can find exploits at
http://www.vxhell.org/~teach/exploits/ImpelDown.c
and
http://www.vxhell.org/~teach/exploits/ImpelDown-2.6.31only.c
The first one wasn't tested but the second would work for the given kernel
(according to your mmap_min_addr)
We highly recommand to apply grsecurity patch ([1]) since UDEREF will preserve
you from all this bug class,
or at least have a kernel which correctly implement mmap_min_addr, but
Julien and Tavis [2] have already showed you how this can be easily bypassed.
