IT资讯 Linux 内核最新高危提权漏洞：脏管道 (Dirty Pipe)

来自 CM4all 的安全研究员 Max Kellermann 披露了一个 Linux 内核的高危提权漏洞：脏管道 (Dirty Pipe)。漏洞编号为 CVE-2022-0847。

据介绍，此漏洞自 5.8 版本起就已存在。非 root 用户通过注入和覆盖只读文件中的数据，从而获得 root 权限。因为非特权进程可以将代码注入 root 进程。

Max 表示，“脏管道”漏洞与几年前的“脏牛”类似，所以采用了相似的名字，不过前者更容易被利用。此外，该漏洞目前已被黑客利用，研究人员建议尽快升级版本，Linux 5.16.11、5.15.25 和 5.10.102 均已修复了此漏洞。

Max 在文章中提供了漏洞 PoC。

 *
 * 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'

据介绍，本地用户可以将自己的数据注入敏感的只读文件，消除限制或修改配置以获得更高的权限。有研究人员通过利用该漏洞修改 /etc/passwd 文件进行了举例，修改后可直接取消 root 用户的密码，然后普通用户使用 su root 命令即可获得 root 账户的访问权限。还有研究人员发现，使用 /usr/bin/su 命令删除 /tmp/sh 中的 root shell 可以更容易获取 root 权限。

最后，建议各位检查所使用的 Linux 服务器的内核版本，若是 5.8 以上的版本请尽快升级。
