In this article, we discuss our research approach for investigating Xiaomi routers. We discovered multiple vulnerabilities allowing Remote Code Execution (RCE) on several models, through both LAN and WAN interfaces. This work led to the publication of four CVEs specifically targeting Xiaomi routers.
The Android permission management system has already suffered from several vulnerabilities in the past. Such weaknesses can grant dangerous permissions to a malevolent application, an example being CALL_LOG, which gives access to all incoming and outgoing calls.
This post dives into the Android permission system and how a solver was leveraged to find new vulnerabilities. With this approach, a privilege escalation was identified, which was fixed and assigned CVE-2023-20947 by Google.
In this blogpost, we introduce the analysis of one SMB implementation: kSMBd. It will be followed up by a talk at OffensiveCon 2023 named “Abusing Linux in-kernel SMB server to gain kernel remote code execution”.
Although the Android base is open source, many different constructors customize it with their own UIs and APIs. All these additions represent an extra attack surface that can change from one phone model to another. We tried to automatically fuzz the closed-source system services powering these modifications, discovering CVE-2022-39907 and CVE-2022-39908 along the way.
- Discovery of two vulnerabilities in secure world components
- Exploitation to get code execution in a trusted driver, while not having a debugger for this obscure environment
- Leverage of aarch32 T32 instruction set to find nice stack pivots
- Turning an arbitrary write into an arbitrary code execution
Microsoft’s Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client was fuzzed by various teams in the past few years, it thus seemed like a good target to try a recent snapshot fuzzer:
what the fuzz (wtf) (of which we are only users). In this companion post to our
Hexacon 2022 talk (
slides,
video) we’ll show how we took advantage of wtf flexibility in order to efficiently fuzz the RDPEGFX channel of Microsoft RDP client and uncover
CVE-2022-30221.
This is the third installment in my three-part series of articles on fuzzing Microsoft’s RDP client, where I explain a bug I found by fuzzing the smart card extension.
This is the second installment in my three-part series of articles on fuzzing Microsoft’s RDP client. I will explain a bug I found by fuzzing the printer sub-protocol, and how I exploited it.
This article begins my three-part series on fuzzing Microsoft’s RDP client. In this first installment, I set up a methodology for fuzzing Virtual Channels using WinAFL and share some of my findings.
