Georgi Guninski security advisory #47, 2001

OpenBSD 2.9,2.8 local root compromise

Systems affected:
OpenBSD 2.9,2.8
Have not tested on other OSes but they may be vulnerable

Risk: High
Date: 14 June 2001

Description:

There is local root compromise in OpenBSD 2.9, 2.8 due to a race
probably in the kernel. This is quite similar to the linux kernel
race several months ago.


Details:
By forking a few process it is possible to attach to +s pid with ptrace.
The process seems to be in a strange state when it is attached.
Contrary to the man info PT_DETACH allows specifying an address to which
execution is continued.


Exploit:

-------------vvopenbsd.c----------------------
/* Written by Georgi Guninski http://www.guninski.com 
Tested on OpenBSD 2.9 and 2.8
Works best after reboot - the +s program must not be executed before, seems
executes /tmp/sh
/tmp/su must be a link to +s program
if the +s program has been executed, create and run shell script the size of RAM
You may need to type "fg" if the program receives stop signal
you may need to run the program several times
