    Title:    Local Vulnerability in dbsnmp binary
    
    Date:     13-07-2001
    
    Platform: Only tested in Linux but can be exported to others.
    
    Impact:   Users belonging to oracle group can obtain euid=0

    Status:   Vendor contacted at 18th July 2001
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    PROBLEM SUMMARY:
    
    Buffer overflow exists if ORACLE_HOME enviroment variable if is defined
    with a size greater than 749 bytes
    
    
    [oracle@proves1 iAS]$ ls -alc
    /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbsnmp
    -rwsr-s---    1 root     oinstall   667874 jul 18 15:38
    /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbsnmp
    
    [oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$ export ORACLE_HOME=`perl -e 'print "A"x749'`
    [oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$
    /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbsnmp

    [oracle@proves1 8.1.6]$ dbsnmp
    couldn't read file "/config/nmiconf.tcl": no such file or directory
    Segmentation fault
    
    
    This overflow exists in newer products like Oracle 9i and maybe in older
    too.
    
    
    
    [oracle@proves1 iAS]$ ls -alc
    /usr/local/oracle/app/oracle/product/iAS/bin/dbsnmp

    [oracle@proves1 iAS]$ export ORACLE_HOME=`perl -e 'print "A"x749'`

    Segmentation fault
    
    
    IMPACT:
        Any user belonging to oracle group can obtain euid=0.
    
    SOLUTION:
        Chmod -s or if is posible (setresuid(getuid(),getuid(),getuid()) ...
    
        Wait for a patch.(??)

    /* Exploit code for dbsnmp binary in Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 Linux Platform. I tested it in RH 6.2.
    
    dbsnmp makes setresuid(,getuid(),) before reading ORACLE_HOME environment variable. Its necessary to call setuid(0) before normal shellcode.
    
    In My tests Offset may vary from 7846 to 7896. Its posible to obtain a normal (uid=oracle) shell for low offsets (incomplete setuid(0) jumps).
