                # Exploit: SunOS 5.10 Generic_147148-26 - Local Privilege Escalation
# Date: 2020-01-15

# CVE: CVE-2020-2696

/*
 * raptor_dtsession_ipa.c - CDE dtsession LPE for Solaris/Intel
 * Copyright (c) 2019-2020 Marco Ivaldi <raptor@0xdeadbeef.info>
 *
 * A buffer overflow in the CheckMonitor() function in the Common Desktop
 * Environment 2.3.1 and earlier and 1.6 and earlier, as distributed with
 * Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 (Update 11) and earlier, allows local users to gain
 * root privileges via a long palette name passed to dtsession in a malicious
 * .Xdefaults file (CVE-2020-2696).
 *
 * "I always loved Sun because it was so easy to own. Now with Solaris 11 I
 * don't like it anymore." -- ~B.
 *
 * This exploit uses the ret-into-ld.so technique to bypass the non-exec stack
 * protection. In case troubles arise with NULL-bytes inside the ld.so.1 memory
 * space, try returning to sprintf() instead of strcpy().
 *
 * I haven't written a Solaris/SPARC version because I don't have a SPARC box
 * on which Solaris 10 can run. If anybody is kind enough to give me access to
 * such a box, I'd be happy to port my exploit to Solaris/SPARC as well.
 *
 * Usage:
 * $ gcc raptor_dtsession_ipa.c -o raptor_dtsession_ipa -Wall
 * [on your xserver: disable the access control]
 * $ ./raptor_dtsession_ipa 192.168.1.1:0
 * [...]
 * # id
 * uid=0(root) gid=1(other)
 * #
 *
 * Tested on:
 * SunOS 5.10 Generic_147148-26 i86pc i386 i86pc (Solaris 10 1/13)
 * [previous Solaris versions are also likely vulnerable]
