OSH 1.7 Exploit #2

The Operator Shell (Osh) is a setuid root, security enhanced, restricted shell. It allows the administrator to carefully limit the access of special commands and files to the users whose duties require their use, while at the same time automatically maintaining audit records. The configuration file for Osh contains an administrator defined access profile for each authorized user or group. The problem is that the length of the current working directory plus the length of the file name is longer than 255 bytes, which causes a buffer overflow in temp3[]. The size limit of the current direcory is MAXPATHLEN, which is defined as 1024 on modern Linux systems. The limit for the file name is MAXFNAME, defined as 32 in struct.h:116. This code is in the writable() function, which is called by the handlers for built-in cp, vi, rm and test commands, as well as the redirect function.

Mitigation:

apt-get --purge remove osh

# OSH 1.7 Exploit #2 (Gonna bang away at this until it's removed ;-)
#
# EDUCATIONAL purposes only.... :-)
#
# by Charles Stevenson (core) <core@bokeoa.com>
#
# Description:
# The Operator Shell (Osh) is a setuid root, security enhanced, restricted
# shell. It allows the administrator to carefully limit the access of special
# commands and files to the users whose duties require their use, while
# at the same time automatically maintaining audit records. The configuration
# file for Osh contains an administrator defined access profile for each
# authorized user or group.
#
# Problem (discovered by Solar Eclipse):
#
# handlers.c:364
#
#    char temp3[255];
#
#    if (*file!='/') {
#      getcwd(temp3, MAXPATHLEN);
#      strcat(temp3,"/");
#      strcat(temp3,file);
#    }
#
#    ...
#
#    "If the length of the current working directory plus the length of the
#    file name is longer than 255 bytes, there will be a buffer overflow in
#    temp3[]. The size limit of the current direcory is MAXPATHLEN, which is
#    defined as 1024 on modern Linux systems. The limit for the file name is
#    MAXFNAME, defined as 32 in struct.h:116."
#
#    "This code is in the writable() function, which is called by the handlers
#    for built-in cp, vi, rm and test commands, as well as the redirect
#    function." -- Solar Eclipse
#
# Risk: Medium since user would have to be in the operator group which
#       the admin would have to grant explicitly and I assume would be
#       a trustworthy individual ;-)
#
# Solution:
# apt-get --purge remove osh
#
# greetz to solar eclipse, nemo, andrewg, cnn, arcanum, mercy, amnesia, 
# banned-it, capsyl, sloth, redsand, KF, akt0r, MRX, salvia, truthix, ...
#
# irc.pulltheplug.org (#social)
# 0dd: much <3 & respect
# 
# 08/12/05 - PoC causes segv with 0x41414141 eip
# 08/16/05 - PoC _exit(0) ... need shellcode to get past char filters
# 08/16/04 - Later that night... or morning... ROOTSHELL!! Woot! PTP joint
#            effort on the shellcode.
#
# I still find it hard to imagine that anyone would use osh
# The code is basically beyond repair. Sudo is better.... :-)
#
# Don't forget to clean /var/log/osh.log
