Date: 18 Sep 2004 13:16:33 -0000 From: Angelo Rosiello <angelo@...iello.org> To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com Subject: Sudo Exploit by Rosiello Security Reference http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/sudoedit.html Summary A flaw in exists in sudo's -u option (aka sudoedit) in sudo version 1.6.8 that can give an attacker read permission to a file that would otherwise be unreadable. Sudo versions affected 1.6.8 only Details While sudoedit runs the actual editor as the invoking user, the temporary file is then re-opened with root privileges. An attacker can run sudoedit, remove the editor temporary file, make a link to an unreadable file with the same name as the old temporary file and quit the editor. The file being edited via sudoedit will now contain a copy of the previously unreadable file. Impact Exploitation of the bug requires that the sudoers file be configured to allow the attacker to run sudoedit. If no users have been granted access to sudoedit there is no impact. Fix The bug is fixed in sudo 1.6.8p1. Credit This problem was brought to my attention by Reznic Valery. Exploit http://www.rosiello.org/archivio/sudo-exploit.c ------------------------------------------------ The exploit's code: /* Copyright © Rosiello Security 2004 http://www.rosiello.org sudoedit Exploit SOFTWARE : sudoedit REFERENCE: http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/alerts/sudoedit.html DATE: 18/09/2004 Summary: A flaw in exists in sudo's -u option (aka sudoedit) in sudo version 1.6.8 that can give an attacker read permission to a file that would otherwise be unreadable. Sudo versions affected: 1.6.8 only Credit: Reznic Valery discovered the problem. ----------------------------------------------------------- All the information that you can find in this software were published for educational and didactic purpose only. The author published this program under the condition that is not in the intention of the reader to use them in order to bring to himself or others a profit or to bring to others damage. !Respect the law! How do I use this code ? To exploit sudoedit you have to open with it the file "rosiello" as shown in the example. EXAMPLE SCENARIO: 1) Open two shells (i) and (ii); 2) (i)$sudoedit rosiello; 3) (ii)$./sudoedit-exploit /etc/shadow; 4) (i) close sudoedit. The file "rosiello" is now a copy of "/etc/shadow".
