Subject: Linux /usr/bin/lpc overflow

greetings,

INFO:

There is a local root comprimise hole in PLP Line Printer Control program,
version 4.0.3, which is SuSE 5.2's /usr/bin/lpc.  Most other unices use a
different version of lpc (including SuSE 5.1).  You can check your version
by typing "lpc" and seeing if you get the PLP version or just "lpc>" which
is not vulnerable.

The offending code is in displayq.c and control_ops.c, where we see:
---
char afname[MAXPARMLEN];    /* attach file name */
...
if (fscanf (afp, "%s", afname) == 1) {
---

EXPLOIT:

xnec_lpc.c
----snip----

/*

Standard overflow for x86 linux lpc.  PLP Line Printer Control program,
version 4.0.3.  Tested on SuSE 5.2 (suidroot).  Test your copy of /usr/bin/lpc
by trying an /usr/bin/lpc attach lp `perl -e "print 'A' x 1000"`;lpc status lp
The problematic code is in displayq.c and control_ops.c, where we attempt
to fscanf() the lockfile's contents into a fixed length buffer.  See the
Bugtraq post for full fix information(www.geek-girl.com/bugtraq).

The buffer we're overflowing is 256bytes, and an offset of 0 works just fine.
Try in increments of +-100 if it doesn't work for you.

Obviously this is a complete rip of Aleph1's standard overflow program from
his paper "smashing the stack for fun and profit".

to compile:
gcc -o xnec_lpc xnec_lpc.c

bugs: only sets uid=0, and you may have to have a printer defined (lp on my
box).

FIX:

While you COULD use these diff's to patch up your lpc, I would recommend
against it as there is a perfectly good alternative in the line printer suite
available in the form of lpr-tlr-971016.tar.gz.  This is included in SuSE
5.2's source library.  If you insist on using PLP, here you go:
