Waitid bug

CWE
Product Name: Linux Kernel
Affected Version From: Linux Kernel 4.13
Affected Version To: Linux Kernel 4.13
Patch Exists: YES

Proof of concept exploit for waitid bug in Linux Kernel 4.13

This exploit can be used to break out of sandboxes such as that in Google Chrome. It installs the seccomp filter from Chrome and a chroot, then breaks out of those and gets root. It bypasses smep and smap, but is somewhat unreliable and may crash the kernel instead.

Mitigation:

Apply the patch provided by the Linux Kernel developers.

/****** overview of exploit ********
waitid uses unsafe_put_user without checking access_ok,
allowing the user to give a kernel address for infop and write over kernel memory.
when given invalid parameters this just writes the following 32 bit integers
0, 0, 0, _, 0, 0, 0
(the 4th element is unchanged)
inside the chrome sandbox we cannot fork (can only make threads)
so we can only give invalid parameters to waitid and only write 0's to kernel memory,

To exploit this in the presence of smap:

I start out by iteratively calling waitid until we find the kernel's base address
When it's found it will not return efault error from the syscall

Now, I can only write 0's at this point, so I spray 10000 threads and attempt
to write 0's over the beginning of the task struct to unset the seccomp flag
This part is kind of unreliable and depends on the size of the task struct which
changes based on cpu.

If it succceeds, I now know where the task struct is and no longer have seccomp
By shifting the location of the write and using the pid of the child process, I
can now write 5 consecutive arbitrary non-zero bytes. So I can create an address
with this bitmask 0xffffffffff000000

Now to create data at such an address I use the physmap, a mirror of all userland
pages that exists in kernel memory. Mmap a large amount of memory, try writing at
various places in the physmap until we see userland memory change. Then mlock that
page.

With controlled data in the kernel, I use the 5 byte write described above to change
our task->files to point at the controlled page. This give me control of the file
operations and arbitrary read/write.

From here, I remove the chroot and edit my creds to make that thread root.
