OS X sandbox escape due to XPC type confusion in networkd #92

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
com.apple.networkd is an xpc service reachable from many OS X sandboxes (via 
(system-network).)

It runs unsandboxed but as the user _networkd, this doesn't prevent it from 
being a valid sandbox escape as getting code execution
as _networkd gives access to a much bigger kernel attack surface.

The com.apple.networkd service parses many very complicated xpc messages and 
there are multiple type confusions bugs.

This PoC is a trigger for one of them which I'm pretty sure can actually be 
exploited to get code execution:

(_networkd has no symbols so these functions names are the addresses in the 
_networkd binary on 10.9.4)

same rdi, not checked to be a dictionary

xpc_dictionary_get_data will look up the key "sockaddr", check that the value 
matching that key is an OS_xpc_data object and then call
xpc_data_get_bytes_pointer. By crafting a fake xpc_dictionary (for example by 
passing an xpc_int64 as the value in the array then grooming
controlled data where the dictionary expects to find its hash bucket pointers) 
we can gain complete control of this xpc_data pointer (and
are also able to then set the type field correctly.)

xpc_data_get_bytes_pointer will call xpc_map_data_once which will pass the 
pointer at offset +0x30 of the fake xpc_data object to dispatch_data_create_map
and then dispatch_release. By crafting this dispatch object such that it can't 
be correctly mapped (eg by setting +0x28 to 0) this dispatch object won't be 
retained
such that when it's passed to disptach_release (with the retain count set to 0) 
it will be released and an objective-c method will be invoked.

Actually doing that heap grooming is a pain, but I'm quite sure it's possible 
:-)

I've included some ideas for fixing all these bugs by added extra checks in 
libxpc in the report sent to Apple.
