Title: Porting a Proof of Concept C code into universal python exploit (OpenSSH).
Summary:
OpenSSH lets you grant SFTP access to users without allowing full command execution using “ForceCommand internal-sftp”. However, if you misconfigure the server and don’t use ChrootDirectory, the user will be able to access all parts of the filesystem that he has access to – including procfs. On modern Linux kernels (>=2.6.39, I think), /proc/self/maps reveals the memory layout and /proc/self/mem lets you write to arbitrary memory positions.
This talk will provide an overview of the exploitation process for the OpenSSH vulnerability and the challenges and techniques used to create an universal exploit for 32 and 64 bit architectures.
Speaker: Adam Simuntis and Mindaugas Slusnys
