Android rootkit Event:
Black Hat Abu Dhabi 2011 Abstract: Android devices have been repeatedly hacked for root privileges. Sometimes by malware authors, and sometimes by users themselves. This is because if someone gains root privileges, he or she can gain control of the parts of the system which are most useful for attackers (and for users as well). But this is not the end of the story - we need a bit more knowledge to gain much privilege inside the Android application system. On the other hand, some Japanese Android smartphones have an extra Linux Security Module (LSM) to prevent these rooting issues and protect the system from being overwritten. But because of Android's security weaknesses and incomplete LSM protection, the Android application system can still be taken over by exploitation. This presentation explains what we can/cannot do if we gain root privileges on an Android device, and introduces a new kind of Android rootkit. This rootkit needs only root privileges (no kernel-mode, no ptrace) and bypasses all existing security modules. This fact implies the possibility of advanced Android malware.

FreeBSD Security Advisory - Some third-party applications, including KDE's kcheckpass command, allow the user to specify the name of the policy on the command line. Since OpenPAM treats the policy name as a path relative to /etc/pam.d or /usr/local/etc/pam.d, users who are permitted to run such an application can craft their own policies and cause the application to load and execute their own modules. If an application that runs with root privileges allows the user to specify the name of the PAM policy to load, users who are permitted to run that application will be able to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

MUNGE (MUNGE Uid 'N' Gid Emporium) is an authentication service for creating and validating credentials. It is designed to be highly scalable for use in an HPC cluster environment. It allows a process to authenticate the UID and GID of another local or remote process within a group of hosts having common users and groups. These hosts form a security realm that is defined by a shared cryptographic key. Clients within this security realm can create and validate credentials without the use of root privileges, reserved ports, or platform-specific methods.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-220 - The pam_xauth module did not verify the return values of the setuid() and setgid() system calls. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to execute the xauth command with root privileges and make it read an arbitrary input file. The pam_mail module used root privileges while accessing users' files. In certain configurations, a local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to obtain limited information about files or directories that they do not have access to. The pam_namespace module executed the external script namespace.init with an unchanged environment inherited from an application calling PAM. In cases where such an environment was untrusted (for example, when pam_namespace was configured for setuid applications such as su or sudo), a local, unprivileged user could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

On a 64bit system, a local attacker could manipulate 32bit system calls to gain root privileges.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 2061-1 - Jun Mao discovered that Samba, an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, is not properly handling certain offset values when processing chained SMB1 packets. This enables an unauthenticated attacker to write to an arbitrary memory location resulting in the possibility to execute arbitrary code with root privileges or to perform denial of service attacks by crashing the samba daemon.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 2062-1 - Anders Kaseorg and Evan Broder discovered a vulnerability in sudo, a program designed to allow a sysadmin to give limited root privileges to users, that allows a user with sudo permissions on certain programs to use those programs with an untrusted value of PATH. This could possibly lead to certain intended restrictions being bypassed, such as the secure_path setting.

Ubuntu Security Notice 944-1 - Maksymilian Arciemowicz discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle integer overflows in the strfmon function. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted format string, a remote attacker could crash applications, leading to a denial of service. (Ubuntu 10.04 was not affected.) Jeff Layton and Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly handle newlines in the mntent family of functions. If a local attacker were able to inject newlines into a mount entry through other vulnerable mount helpers, they could disrupt the system or possibly gain root privileges. Dan Rosenberg discovered that the GNU C library did not correctly validate certain ELF program headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into verifying a specially crafted ELF program, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Ubuntu Security Notice 939-1 - L. Minier discovered that xvfb-run did not correctly keep the X.org session cookie private. A local attacker could gain access to any local sessions started by xvfb-run. Ubuntu 9.10 was not affected. It was discovered that the X.org server did not correctly handle certain calculations. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the X.org session or possibly run arbitrary code with root privileges.
