WMCube-GDK Yields KMEM Security Privileges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://www.ne.jp/asahi/linux/timecop/> WMCube / GDK is a modified and
optimized version of WMCube 0.98. A security vulnerability in the product
would allow an attacker to overflow one of the product's internal buffer
and execute arbitrary code. Since the product is setuid kmem, privileged
access to the memory can be gained.
DETAILS
Vulnerable code:
int loadobj(char *filename)
{
FILE *fp;
char tmp[64] = { "" };
int i = 0, counter = 1;
10:
...
fscanf(fp, "%s", tmp);
...
goto 10;
}
Workaround:
Replace fscanf(fp, "%s", tmp); in loadobj(), wmcube.c with fgets(tmp, 64,
fp);.
Exploit:
/*
* (c) Andrew / GOBBLES Security
*
* PoC exploit for wmcube-gdk
*
* Usage: /path/to/GOBBLES-wmcube-gdk-exploit [offset]
*
*/
