Subject: Trixbox 2.6.1 and below,
	remote root shell through local file inclusion

I have discovered a file inclusion in Trixbox that may be exploited to
run arbitrary code and eventually obtain a root shell.

The vendor (Fonality) has been noticed about this issue. They have
fixed it and shall release a patch this week. I have already posted an
exploit (giving a shell with uid=asterisk) on www.milw0rm.com and at
securityfocus (BID=30135) but since I have figured out afterwards that
it was also possible to obtain a root shell, those exploits should be
updated:


Please find hereafter the advisory and the updated exploit:

ADVISORY:

Vulnerability Found: 7th July 2008

Vendor informed: 7th July 2008

Severity: Critical

BID: 30135

Successfully tested on: Trixbox CE 2.6.1 and below

Description:

A local file inclusion vulnerability affects Trixbox CE, an
Asterisk-based PBX Phone system. This issue is due to a failure of the
application to properly sanitize POST data assigned to a parameter of
the /user/index.php page.

An attacker may leverage this issue to read local files, execute PHP
scripts and eventually obtain a root shell.

Vulnerable server-side program: '/user/index.php'

Vulnerable parameter: 'langChoice'

Proof of concept:

COMPLETE HTTP REQUEST:

POST /user/index.php HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.107
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 39

langChoice=../../../../../etc/passwd%00

COMPLETE HTTP RESPONSE:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

[...]

Consequences:

A remote root shell can be obtained on the affected server.

Fix:

Fonality has stated that they have submitted a fix into SVN and it
will be part of the next update that will go out this week.
