Subject: [FD] CVE ID Request : Proxmox VE Insecure hostname checking (remote
root exploit)
=====================================================================
Proxmox VE 3/4 Insecure Hostname Checking (Remote Root Exploit, XSS,
Privileges escalation)
=====================================================================
Description
===========
Proxmox is a popular virtualization solution based on KVM and Linux
containers.
A critical vulnerability has been found in Proxmox VE 3 (OpenVZ) and
Proxmox VE 4 beta 1 (LXC) in the
virtual machine creating form allowing authenticated remote users to
overwrite configuration files settings.
Configuration file overwriting
==============================
Because the Proxmox VE application doesn't check the
user-provided "hostname" POST parameter, it's
possible to overwrite configuration files using a CRLF injection.
In Proxmox VE 3, we successfully gained access to the host filesystem
from a container and elevated our container capabilities, allowing us to
obtain user credentials and sniff the network.
In Proxmox VE 4b1, because LXC allows "hooks" to execute commands, we
successfully gained root privileges on the host.
It's also possible to exploit Proxmox clusters.
**Access Vector**: remote
**Security Risk**: high
**Vulnerability**: CWE-915
Proof of Concept
----------------
The following exploit works for Proxmox VE 4 beta 1. The
lxc.hook.pre-start configuration variable is used to trigger the ncat
reverse-shell payload when the container is started.
