New Solaris root exploit for /usr/lib/lp/bin/netpr


From: nobody () REMAILER CH (Anonymous)

[ Word on the street is that others have noticed this hole, so here goes. ]

Have you noticed how many holes have been discovered in the printing
system on Solaris?  The netpr program is no exception.  Included with this
message are two exploits I wrote in 1999, one for SPARC versions of
Solaris and the other for i386 versions.  The SPARC version is a routine
buffer overflow exploit that produces an instant root shell, but the i386
exploit requires some creative payload delivery to compensate for the
unavoidable corruption of an important stack variable.  The i386 version
will turn a copy of /bin/ksh in /tmp into a SUID root shell.

I have not tested either of these on Solaris 8, but I am expecting it to
be vulnerable.  It also appears that Solaris 2.6 on SPARC machines may not
be exploitable unless patch 106235-03 or patch 106235-04 is installed.
How about that?  Keep up on your patches and get owned faster.  Let's hope
that Sun puts this buffer overflow silliness to rest soon.  No more buffer
overflows will mean no more buffer overflow exploits.

                        Another fine product of ADM brought to you by,

/**
***  netprex - SPARC Solaris root exploit for /usr/lib/lp/bin/netpr
***
***  Tested and confirmed under Solaris 2.6 and 7 (SPARC)
***
***  Usage:  % netprex -h hostname [-o offset] [-a alignment]
***
***  where hostname is the name of any reachable host running the printer
***  service on TCP port 515 (such as "localhost" perhaps), offset is the
***  number of bytes to add to the %sp stack pointer to calculate the
***  desired return address, and alignment is the number of bytes needed
***  to correctly align the first NOP inside the exploit buffer.
***
***  When the exploit is run, the host specified with the -h option will
***  receive a connection from the netpr program to a nonsense printer
***  name, but the host will be otherwise untouched.  The offset parameter
***  and the alignment parameter have default values that will be used
***  if no overriding values are specified on the command line.  In some
***  situations the default values will not work correctly and should
***  be overridden on the command line.  The offset value should be a
***  multiple of 8 and should lie reasonably close to the default value;
***  try adjusting the value by -640 to 640 from the default value in
***  increments of 64 for starters.  The alignment value should be set
***  to either 0, 1, 2, or 3.  In order to function correctly, the final
***  return address should not contain any null bytes, so adjust the offset
***  appropriately to counteract nulls should any arise.
