Injection

Injection. Mark Shtern. Example. Code from old IRIX login screen: char buf[1024]; snprintf(buf, "system lpr -P %s", user_input, sizeof(buf)-1); system(buf); Attack: FRED; xterm&. Injections. Injection problems occur when untrusted data is Placed into trusted data

  1. Injection Mark Shtern

  2. Example • Code from old IRIX login screen: char buf[1024]; snprintf(buf, "system lpr -P %s", user_input, sizeof(buf)-1); system(buf); • Attack: FRED; xterm&

  3. Injections • Injection problems occur when untrusted data is • Placed into trusted data • Passed to some sort of compiler or interpreter • Treated as something other than data

  4. Impact • Privilege escalation • Information Leakage • Control of a victim machine • Denial of Service • Access to victim resources • Software unlocking

  5. Attack ideas • Code injection into script (eval, execv) • Module Substitution (DLL injection, Java class injection) • System call, external command, environment variable substitution • Debug mode

  6. DLL injection • Linker dynamically load modules • Linux LD_PRELOAD="./test.so" prog • Windows HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs

  7. Substitute external command • Example system(“ls -l”); • Execution depends on • The binary code associated with ls • The PATH environment variable

  8. Debug mode • Most industrial applications contain hidden debug hooks • They can be used for good or for evil

  9. Java class injection • Java VM loads classes dynamically • Attacker may substitute any Java class • Develop new class with the same signature • Modify existing class

  10. Modify existing class • Decompile Java class • Modify source code • Compile modified source code • Overwrite original class

  11. Injection Countermeasures • Validate user input • Do not store confidential information in the source code • Deploy obfuscated code • Use least privileges design concept • Do not pass user input to an interpreter • Digitally sign production code

  12. Tools • Debuggers (gdb, WinDgb) • Java decompilers (Jode, JD ) • Java code obfuscators (Jode, ProGuard) • IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans, Visual Studio 2008/2010)
