Source code: modules/exploits/linux/local/hp_xglance_priv_esc.rb
Disclosure date: 2014-11-19
Last modification time: 2022-10-05 19:43:07 +0000
Supported architecture(s): x86, x64
Supported platform(s): Linux
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): -
List of CVEs: CVE-2014-2630
This exploit takes advantage of xglance-bin, part of HP's Glance (or Performance Monitoring) version 11 'and subsequent' , which was compiled with an insecure RPATH option. The RPATH includes a relative path to -L/lib64/ which can be controlled by a user. Creating libraries in this location will result in an escalation of privileges to root.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- great: The exploit has a default target AND either auto-detects the appropriate target or uses an application-specific return address AFTER a version check. More information about ranking can be found here.
Reliability:
- repeatable-session: The module is expected to get a shell every time it runs.
Stability:
- crash-safe: Module should not crash the service.
Side Effects:
- artifacts-on-disk: Modules leaves a payload or a dropper on the target machine.
Basic Usage
Note: To run a local exploit, make sure you are at the msf prompt.
Also, to check the session ID, use the sessions command.

Knowledge Base
Vulnerable Application
This exploit takes advantage of xglance-bin, part of HP's Glance (or Performance Monitoring) version 11 'and subsequent', which was compiled with an insecure RPATH option. The RPATH includes a relative path to -L/lib64/ which can be controlled by a user. Creating libraries in this location will result in an escalation of privileges to root.
Mock Application
Unfortunately the application is a pay for application and the version is many years old by the time the
PoC was released. Instead, we use a mock binary based on the permissions noted in the original CVE
announcement, and the ldd details from the PoC.
The following commands were performed on Fedora 31 to create the binary.
When the binary was pushed to rhel7.1 for testing, a 'of size' libXm.so.4 was required
so cp /lib64/libffi.so.6 ./-L/lib64/libXm.so.4 was enough to make the binary
vulnerable.
sudo su
cd ~
dnf install motif-devel
cat > main.c << DONE
#include
#include
void main(){
printf("HP xglance-bin emulator %d\n",XmVERSION);
char* x = XmCvtXmStringToCT(NULL);
printf("%p",x);
}
DONE
mkdir -p ./-L/lib64;
cd ./-L/lib64;
The follow commands copies files to the path for building. However, they may not be installed on a default rhel system.
# libXm.so.3 may fail on newer systems like fedora 31
cp /usr/lib64/libXm.so.3 .;
cp /usr/lib64/libXm.so.4 libXm.so.3;
cp /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6 .;
cp /usr/lib64/libXt.so.6 .;
cd ../..;
gcc -lXm main.c -o xglance-bin -Wl,-rpath=-L/lib64:/usr/lib64:/usr/X11R6/lib64:/opt/perf/lib64;
mkdir -p /opt/perf/bin/;
cp xglance-bin /opt/perf/bin/;
chown root:bin /opt/perf/bin/xglance-bin;
chmod 4555 /opt/perf/bin/xglance-bin;
To confirm the file is vulnerable, run:
[fedora@fedora31 ~]$ ldd /opt/perf/bin/xglance-bin | grep -- -L/lib64/
libXt.so.6 => -L/lib64/libXt.so.6 (0x00007f727441b000)
libXp.so.6 => -L/lib64/libXp.so.6 (0x00007f72742b2000)
We'll want to see one or more libX*.so* files with -L/lib64/.
Verification Steps
- Install the application
- Start msfconsole
- Get a session
- Do:
use exploit/linux/local/hp_xglance_priv_esc - Do:
set session # - Do:
run - You should get a root shell.
Options
COMPILE
If the .so exploit should be compiled on the system. gcc is required.
More noisey, but more AV resilient. Default is true.
GLANCE_PATH
Path to the xglance-bin executable. Default is /opt/perf/bin/xglance-bin.
