Bài Thực Hành Metasploit Framework Lesson 8 : Exploiting the distcc daemon to obtain root

1. Metasploitable 
   • Metasploitable is an intentionally vulnerable Linux virtual machine.
   • This VM can be used to conduct security training, test security tools, and practice common penetration testing techniques.
   • http://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/Metasploitable
2. Pre-Requisite Lab
   • Metasploitable : Lesson 1: Downloading and Configuring
3. What is distcc
   • distcc is designed to speed up compilation by taking advantage of unused processing power on other computers. A machine with distcc installed can send code to be compiled across the network to a computer which has the distccd daemon and a compatible compiler installed.
4. Exploit CVE 2004-2687
   • distcc 2.x, as used in XCode 1.5 and others, when not configured to restrict access to the server port, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via compilation jobs, which are executed by the server without authorization checks.
   • http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-2687
5. Exploit CVE 2009-1185
   • udev before 1.4.1 does not verify whether a NETLINK message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space.
   • http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE 2009-1185
6. Lab Notes
   • In this lab we will do the following:
     1. Run an intense NMAP Scan on the Metasploitable VM
     2. Search for the distcc daemon
     3. Use Metasploit to exploit the distcc daemon
     4. Use exploit (http://www.exploit-db.com/download/8572) to escalate the privilege of the daemon user to root.
