【漏洞预警】 CVE-2016-1247：Debian、Ubuntu发行版的Nginx本地提权漏洞
更新日期：2016年12月14日 15:04
漏洞发现人：Dawid Golunski
CVE编号 ：CVE-2016-1247
发行日期 ：15.11.2016
安全级别 ：高
背景介绍
Nginx是一个高性能的HTTP和反向代理服务器，也是一个 IMAP/POP3/SMTP 代理服务器。 Nginx 是由 Igor Sysoev 为俄罗斯访问量第二的 Rambler.ru 站点开发的，第一个公开版本0.1.0发布于2004年10月4日。其将源代码以类BSD许可证的形式发布，因它的稳定性、丰富的功能集、示例配置文件和低系统资源的消耗而闻名。2011年6月1日，nginx 1.0.4发布。 Nginx是一款轻量级的Web 服务器/反向代理服务器及电子邮件（IMAP/POP3）代理服务器，并在一个BSD-like 协议下发行。由俄罗斯的程序设计师Igor Sysoev所开发，其特点是占有内存少，并发能力强。
漏洞描述
Debian、Ubuntu发行版的Nginx在新建日志目录的时，使用了不安全的权限，因此本地恶意攻击者可以从nginx/web用户权限(www-data)提升到ROOT。
漏洞概要
Debian发行版的Nginx本地提权漏洞，该漏洞已经在1.6.2-5+deb8u3中修复
因为该漏洞细节是在官方修复后公布的，因此请低版本的Debian/ubuntu用户及时更新补丁：
补丁修复情况：
Debian:
在Nginx 1.6.2-5+deb8u3中修复
Ubuntu:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
在1.10.0-0ubuntu0.16.04.3中修复
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
在1.4.6-1ubuntu3.6中修复
Ubuntu 16.10:
在1.10.1-0ubuntu1.1中修复
漏洞细节
基于Debian系统默认安装的Nginx会在下面的路径使用下面的权限新建Nginx日志目录
root@xenial:~# ls -ld /var/log/nginx/ drwxr-x--- 2 www-data adm 4096 Nov 12 22:32 /var/log/nginx/ root@xenial:~# ls -ld /var/log/nginx/* -rw-r----- 1 www-data adm 0 Nov 12 22:31 /var/log/nginx/access.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 12 22:47 /var/log/nginx/error.log
我们可以看到/var/log/nginx目录的拥有者是www-data，因此本地攻击者可以通过符号链接到任意文件来替换日志文件，从而实现提权。
攻击者通过符号链接替换了日志文件后，需要等nginx daemon重新打开日志文件，因此需要重启Nginx，或者nginx damon接受USR1进程信号。
这里亮点来了，USR1进程信号会在默认安装的Nginx通过logrotate脚本调用的do_rotate()函数自动触发。
--------[ /etc/logrotate.d/nginx ]--------
/var/log/nginx/*.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 52
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 0640 www-data adm
sharedscripts
prerotate
if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
fi \
endscript
postrotate
invoke-rc.d nginx rotate >/dev/null 2>&1
endscript
}
[...]
do_rotate() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal USR1 --quiet --pidfile $PID --name $NAME
return 0
}
[...]
我们可以看到logrotation脚本会在corn中每天6:25AM自动调用，因此如果/etc/logrotate.d/nginx已经设置了'daily'日志回滚，攻击者将在不需要任何系统管理员交互的情况下，在24小时内实现提权到ROOT

# Nginx (Debian-based distros) - Root Privilege Escalation PoC Exploit
# nginxed-root.sh (ver. 1.0)
#
# CVE-2016-1247
#
# Discovered and coded by:
#
# Dawid Golunski
# dawid[at]legalhackers.com
#
# https://legalhackers.com
#
# Follow https://twitter.com/dawid_golunski for updates on this advisory.
#
# ---
# This PoC exploit allows local attackers on Debian-based systems (Debian, Ubuntu
# etc.) to escalate their privileges from nginx web server user (www-data) to root
# through unsafe error log handling.
#
# The exploit waits for Nginx server to be restarted or receive a USR1 signal.
# On Debian-based systems the USR1 signal is sent by logrotate (/etc/logrotate.d/nginx)
# script which is called daily by the cron.daily on default installations.
# The restart should take place at 6:25am which is when cron.daily executes.
# Attackers can therefore get a root shell automatically in 24h at most without any admin
# interaction just by letting the exploit run till 6:25am assuming that daily logrotation
# has been configured.
#
#
# Exploit usage:
# ./nginxed-root.sh path_to_nginx_error.log
#
# To trigger logrotation for testing the exploit, you can run the following command:
#
# /usr/sbin/logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.d/nginx
#
