Unable to compile for arm_xscale

stanleyws commented 5 months ago

I have a Linksys EA4500v2 router that has Marvell 88F6282 CPU with arm_xscale architecture. Compiling with option '-mcpu=xscale' returns a lot of undefined symbol errors: LLD Link... ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __sync_lock_test_and_set_4 Looked it up and seems like arm_xscale architecture (armv5) does not have atomic instructions. So I guess there is no easy fix for this.

Also verified the mipsel binary works on my Linksys EA7500v2 router (with MT7621 CPU).

This should be a zig problem, there once a pr for fix: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/10756

Maybe you can find a cross compilation toolchain suitable for your device from openwrt, that should be able to compile.

I use a docker image (muslcc/x86_64:armv5l-linux-musleabi) provided by https://musl.cc to compile the armv5 version of pppwn_cpp successfully, which runs normally on QEMU. You can test it to see if it can run properly on your router. If everything is fine, I will update the CI code.

Thanks for the update. I can confirm the binary runs on Linksys EA4500 but it doesn't successfully jailbreak my ps4 on 11.00. It will cause kernel panic on ps4 every time at stage 2 with output: [+] STAGE 2: KASLR defeat

[+] kaslr_offset: 0xff908365f3b1dc89

And this is the command line I launched pppwn with: root@OpenWrt:~# ./pppwn -i br-lan --fw 1100 -s1 stage1_1100.bin -s2 stage2_1100.bin -a

Can you provide the whole logs?

xfangfang commented 5 months ago

And it would be better if you could provide a PCAP monitoring file using Wireshark (or tcpdump).

Here's the complete log:

pppwn_armv5_b2.tar.gz

I think this issue may be related to memory alignment. I don't have much experience working on embedded platforms and don't have the device to test, so I'm not sure if there are any other memory alignment issues. Therefore, I am here to describe in detail how I compiled and modified. If this build still cannot run, you may need to make the necessary modifications yourself.

how to build

git clone git@github.com:xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp.git
cd PPPwn_cpp
docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/src muslcc/x86_64:armv5l-linux-musleabi sh

apk update
apk add cmake make git flex bison
cd /src && mkdir armv5 && cd armv5
cmake -DUSE_SYSTEM_PCAP=OFF -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-static" -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-static" ..
make -j8 pppwn

how to solve memory alignment problem

https://github.com/xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp/blob/cbc09a376ecfe534e1664148694cbf333589d3bd/src/exploit.cpp#L926-L937

I think the problem lies in line 928: self->pppoe_softc_list = htole64(*(uint64_t * )(option + 3));

from the pcap dump, option is: 01,02,00,78,a5,9e,9b,ff,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,00

pppoe_softc_list should be: 0xffffff9b9ea578, but logs shows: 0xff9b9ea578000201

so I change the line 928 to:

memcpy(&self->pppoe_softc_list, option + 3, sizeof(uint64_t));
self->pppoe_softc_list = htole64(self->pppoe_softc_list);

If there are other issues, you may need to find similar code(*(uint64_t * ), *(uint32_t * ) ...) and make similar adjustments.

p.s. You can use test3: https://github.com/xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp/tree/main/tests Execute on the router and compare the output results with those on the PC to make it easier to identify issues.

Possible problem locations

https://github.com/xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp/blob/cbc09a376ecfe534e1664148694cbf333589d3bd/src/exploit.cpp#L84-L87

I think it's indeed a memory alignment problem. The updated binary won't crash the console at step 2 but it will cause kernel panic at stage 3 right after [*] Triggering code execution...

I'll take a look at the code. Thanks again

xfangfang commented 5 months ago

I forgot one step, in order to compile, it need to modify one line of cmake:

https://github.com/xfangfang/PPPwn_cpp/blob/cbc09a376ecfe534e1664148694cbf333589d3bd/CMakeLists.txt#L133

            COMMAND ${ZIG} cc ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -o ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/pack ${mongoose_SOURCE_DIR}/test/pack.c
