juul/xz-backdoor-scanScan for files containing the signature from the `xz` backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)
Scan for files containing the signature from the xz backdoor (CVE-2024-3094).
Rapidly scans files and reports back with any files found to contain the signature used in the backdoor.
WARNING: Do not trust this program to be correct or alert you about the presence of a backdoor. This is a proof of concept only. Do not rely on it for any security.
This program was not written by juul. It was written by stderr. See authorship section at the bottom.
Usage:
./xz-backdoor-scan [options] <filenames> [...]
Where [options] are:
-h / --help
This text
-f / --file <filename>
Search for content of "filename" instead of the xz-backdoor signature
-n / --needle <needle>
Search for "needle" instead of the xz-backdoor signature
This is mostly useful for searching for text strings.
For binary data, see -f / --file
To scan files in a directory non-recursively:
~# ./xz-backdoor-scan *
Note that the above assumes that there are only files in the currenty directory.
If files containing the signature are found, the output will look something like this:
BAD_liblzma.so.5.6.0_from_liblzma5-udeb_5.6.0-0.1_amd64.udeb: CONTAINS THE SIGNATURE
BAD_liblzma.so.5.6.0_from_liblzma5-udeb_5.6.0-0.2_amd64.udeb: CONTAINS THE SIGNATURE
To rapidly scan your entire local filesystem recursively:
find $(df -P | awk '/^\/dev\// { print $6 }') -mount -type f -exec ./xz-backdoor-scan {} +
The signature being searched for is in signature.c.
