GemStone/S 6.3.1 "stoned" Local Buffer Overflow Exploit allows a local user to control the flow of the GemStone/S binary by exploiting a buffer overflow vulnerability in the parsing of input from specific flags. The exploit takes advantage of the absence of GCC 4.x protections in the binaries and can be used to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to privilege escalation. The exploit has been tested on Debian 5 (Lenny) and Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope), and additional vulnerabilities such as format strings and arbitrary file disclosures have been identified in the GemStone SUID binaries

GemStone/S 6.3.1 "stoned" Local Buffer Overflow Exploit


*********************************************************************************************************
Gemstone/S "stoned" suffers from a local buffer overflow when parsing input either from the "-e" or "-l"
flags, which allows a user to specify an exe config file and logfile, respectively. Both use the same
buffer that is overflowed and we can overwrite the instruction pointer to control the flow of "stoned".

GemStone/S 6.3.1 (GemStone-Linux_NC-631.zip) binaries use libstdc++.so.5 which means they were compiled
with GCC <= 3.3.x and do not have GCC 4.x protections in place as they probably would by default if we
compiled them from source or used packages. We will put our payload in the exploitable buffer this time.
That being said, we can brute force ASLR on linux and execute arbitrary code pretty confortably.

Brute forcing our return address... please wait.

Hit payload @ 0xbf85b638 -> "su" to gem (stone) for a root shell :)

Now supposedly "The engineering group has informed me that most or all of the issues you found have been
fixed in our latest 64-bit release", but it looks like they left the 32-bit release out to dry because it
has been over 3 months and I haven't got a response back nor do I see any updated version on the website.
There are more bugs in the GemStone SUID binaries such as format strings and arbitrary file disclosures
that should be fixed now so maybe they will releases updates, I think some people would appreciate it.
