* Linux Kernel < 2.6.36-rc1 CAN BCM Privilege Escalation Exploit
* Jon Oberheide <jon@oberheide.org>
* http://jon.oberheide.org
*
* Information:
*
* http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2959
*
* Ben Hawkes discovered an integer overflow in the Controller Area Network
* (CAN) subsystem when setting up frame content and filtering certain
* messages. An attacker could send specially crafted CAN traffic to crash
* the system or gain root privileges.
*
* Usage:
*
* $ gcc i-can-haz-modharden.c -o i-can-haz-modharden
* $ ./i-can-haz-modharden
* ...
* [+] launching root shell!
* # id
* uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
*
* Notes:
*
* The allocation pattern of the CAN BCM module gives us some desirable
* properties for smashing the SLUB. We control the kmalloc with a 16-byte
* granularity allowing us to place our allocation in the SLUB cache of our
* choosing (we'll use kmalloc-96 and smash a shmid_kernel struct for
* old-times sake). The allocation can also be made in its own discrete
* stage before the overwrite which allows us to be a bit more conservative
* in ensuring the proper layout of our SLUB cache.
*
* To exploit the vulnerability, we first create a BCM RX op with a crafted
* nframes to trigger the integer overflow during the kmalloc. On the second
* call to update the existing RX op, we bypass the E2BIG check since the
* stored nframes in the op is large, yet has an insufficiently sized
* allocation associated with it. We then have a controlled write into the
* adjacent shmid_kernel object in the 96-byte SLUB cache.
*
* However, while we control the length of the SLUB overwrite via a
* memcpy_fromiovec operation, there exists a memset operation that directly
* follows which zeros out last_frames, likely an adjacent allocation, with
* the same malformed length, effectively nullifying our shmid smash. To
* work around this, we take advantage of the fact that copy_from_user can
* perform partial writes on x86 and trigger an EFAULT by setting up a
* truncated memory mapping as the source for the memcpy_fromiovec operation,
* allowing us to smash the necessary amount of memory and then pop out and
* return early before the memset operation occurs.
*
* We then perform a dry-run and detect the shmid smash via an EIDRM errno
* from shmat() caused by an invalid ipc_perm sequence number. Once we're
* sure we have a shmid_kernel under our control we re-smash it with the
* malformed version and redirect control flow to our credential modifying
* calls mapped in user space.
*
* Distros: please use grsecurity's MODHARDEN or SELinux's module_request
* to restrict unprivileged loading of uncommon packet families. Allowing
* the loading of poorly-written PF modules just adds a non-trivial and
* unnecessary attack surface to the kernel.
*
* Targeted for 32-bit Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 (2.6.32-21-generic), but ports
* easily to other vulnerable kernels/distros. Careful, it could use some
* post-exploitation stability love as well.
*
* Props to twiz, sgrakkyu, spender, qaaz, and anyone else I missed that
* this exploit borrows code from.
