----------------------=![ Introduction ]!=------------------------
This paper introduces yet another function to defeat Windows DEP. It is
assumed that the reader is already familiar with buffer overflows on x86,
and has a basic understanding of the DEP protection mechanism. The technique
discussed in this paper is aimed at Windows XP, however, it should also work
on other Windows versions given that the attacker has some way to find the
address of the DLL, such as through a memory disclosure, etc. This paper
does not address the issue of ASLR, rather it recognizes ASLR as a
completely separate problem. The method described here is not conceptually
groundbreaking, and is ultimately only as impressive as any other ret-2-lib
technique.
-----------------=! [ Background Information ] !=-----------------
The introduction of DEP and other mechanisms has slightly raised the bar for
exploitation on Windows. Variations on the ret-2-lib technique have been
used in order to circumvent DEP. Some popular functions are:
- WinExec() to execute a command: still useful but not as desirable as
having arbitrary shellcode execution.
- VirtualProtect() to make memory executable: still useful, but often
requires ROP.
- VirtualAlloc() to allocate new executable memory: still useful but
often requires ROP.
- SetProcessDEPPolicy() to disable DEP: doesn't work if DEP is AlwaysOn,
and may only be called once per process.
- NtSetProcessInformation() to disable DEP: this function fails if
AlwaysOn or MEM_EXECUTE_OPTION_PERMANENT flag is set.
------------------=! [ WriteProcessMemory() ] !=------------------
If you can't go to the mountain, bring the mountain to you.
The function WriteProcessMemory() is typically used for debugging, and as
defined by MSDN it:
"Writes data to an area of memory in a specified process. The entire
area to be written must be accessible or the operation fails."
The function takes the following arguments:
WriteProcessMemory(HANDLE hProcess, LPVOID lpBaseAddress, LPCVOID lpBuffer,
SIZE_T nSize, SIZE_T *lpNumberBytesWritten);
The idea here is simple: if it is not possible execute the writable memory,
write to the executable memory instead. By returning to WriteProcessMemory()
it is possible to write arbitrary code into a running thread, effectively
hot-patching it with shellcode. This works because WriteProcessMemory()
performs the required privilege changes using NtProtectVirtualMemory() to
allow the memory to be written to, regardless of being marked as executable.
--------------------=! [ Slightly Clever ] !=---------------------
The caveats of WriteProcessMemory() introduce a couple of problems to solve
before the function is eligible for exploitation. First, finding a suitable
location to patch can be a difficult task. Second, the final argument needs
to be NULL or a pointer to memory where the lpNumberBytesWritten is stored.
As luck would have it, there is an easy solution to handle both issues: use
the WriteProcessMemory() function to write to itself.
Using WriteProcessMemory() to patch itself removes the requirement of
finding a location in a thread to patch, as the destination address is now
offset from the known address of WriteProcessMemory(). It also removes the
need for a second jmp/call to the patched location, as the natural flow of
execution will walk directly into the patched code. Finally, by carefully
picking the offset into WriteProcessMemory() to patch, it eliminates the
need for the last pointer argument (or NULL), by overwriting the code that
performs the pointer check and then stores the lpNumberBytesWritten.
Finding a suitable location to write code to inside WriteProcessMemory() is
easy. Observe the function code snip below:
WindowsXP kernel32.dll, WriteProcessMemory 0x7C802213+...
...
7C8022BD: lea eax, [ebp + hProcess]
7C8022C0: push eax
7C8022C1: push ebx
7C8022C2: push [ebp + lpBuffer]
7C8022C5: push [ebp + lpBaseAddress]
7C8022C8: push edi
7C8022C9: call NtWriteVirtualMemory
7C8022CF: mov [ebp + lpBuffer], eax
7C8022D2: mov eax, [ebp + lpNumberBytesWritten]
7C8022D5: test eax, eax
7C8022D7: jz short 7C8022DE
...
The last operation that needs to complete in order to successfully patch
the process is the call to NtWriteVirtualMemory() at 0x7C8022C9. The setup
for storing lpNumberBytesWritten starts afterwards, and so 0x7C8022CF is
the ideal destination address to begin overwriting. Immediately after the
write is completed the function flows directly into the freshly written
code. This allows the bypass of permanent DEP in one call.
The arguments to do this look like this:
WriteProcessMemory(-1, 0x7C8022CF, ShellcodeAddr, ShellcodeLen, ..Arbitrary)
The first argument, -1 for hProcess HANDLE, specifies the current process.
The second argument is the offset into WriteProcessMemory() where shellcode
will be written. The third argument, ShellcodeAddr, needs to be the address
of shellcode stored somewhere in memory; this could be code that has been
sprayed onto the heap, or at a location disclosed by the application. The
fourth argument is the length of shellcode to copy. The last argument is no
longer relevant as the code that deals with it is being overwritten by the
copy itself.
For a textbook example stack overflow this payload layout looks like:
[0x7C802213] [AAAA] [0xffffffff] [0x7C8022CF] [&shellcode] [length]
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
' ' ' ' ' '
' ' ' ' ' shellcode length
' ' ' ' '
' ' ' ' shellcode address
' ' ' '
' ' ' dest address in WriteProcessMemory()
' ' '
' ' hProcess HANDLE (-1)
' '
' next return address (irrelevant)
'
WriteProcessMemory() address, overwritten EIP
--------------------=! [ Return Chaining ] !=---------------------
The technique as described is still imperfect: it requires knowing where
shellcode is in memory. Ideally, the location of the WriteProcessMemory()
function (kernel32.dll) should be all that is required to successfully land
arbitrary code execution. Consider a scenario where control of the stack is
gained, but the location of the stack or orther data (other than the address
of WriteProcessMemory) is unknown. By chaining multiple calls together to
copy from offsets of known data, WriteProcessMemory() can be used to build
shellcode dynamically from already existing code.
In order to perform this, the following steps need to be taken:
1. Locate offsets for the op codes and data to compose the shellcode with.
2. Identify a location with enough space to patch, which does not conflict
with any of the locations being copied from.
3. Perform multiple returns to WriteProcessMemory(), patching the location
with shellcode chunks from offsets.
4. Return to newly patched shellcode.
Step 1 of this process allows for some space optimization. Searching for
and finding multibyte sequences of the desired shellcode (rather than just
single bytes) allows for fewer returns to WriteProcessMemory(), and thus
less required space for the chained stack arguments.
Consider generic win32 calc.exe shellcode from Metasploit as an example:
\xfc\xe8\x44\x00\x00\x00\x8b\x45\x3c\x8b\x7c\x05\x78\x01\xef\x8b\x4f\x18
\x8b\x5f\x20\x01\xeb\x49\x8b\x34\x8b\x01\xee\x31\xc0\x99\xac\x84\xc0\x74
\x07\xc1\xca\x0d\x01\xc2\xeb\xf4\x3b\x54\x24\x04\x75\xe5\x8b\x5f\x24\x01
\xeb\x66\x8b\x0c\x4b\x8b\x5f\x1c\x01\xeb\x8b\x1c\x8b\x01\xeb\x89\x5c\x24
\x04\xc3\x5f\x31\xf6\x60\x56\x64\x8b\x46\x30\x8b\x40\x0c\x8b\x70\x1c\xad
\x8b\x68\x08\x89\xf8\x83\xc0\x6a\x50\x68\x7e\xd8\xe2\x73\x68\x98\xfe\x8a
\x0e\x57\xff\xe7\x63\x61\x6c\x63\x2e\x65\x78\x65\x00
By breaking this shellcode down into every possible unique chunk of 2 bytes
or more, and then searching for it in kernel32.dll, it is easy to find the
pieces to dynamically construct this code. Of course, not all of this code
will be available in multibyte sequences. In turn some of the pieces will
need to be copied in as single bytes. Here is the output from an automated
scan for these sequences, code to build this table is provided later on:

`-------------------------------------------------------
As the scan shows, the shellcode is 121 bytes long, but using multibyte
sequences allows this code to be built by chaining just 59 calls to
WriteProcessMemory().
Step 2 differentiates this from the previous technique of patching
WriteProcessMemory() itself. In order to avoid accidentally overwriting some
useful area, and for overall simplicity, it is best pick the address of a
disposable function or code area from kernel32.dll to overwrite. The example
used in this paper is the GetTempFileNameA() function at 0x7c861967, as this
code area has no overlap with WriteProcessMemory(), nor does it overlap with
any of the shellcode offsets.
Provided below is a base64 encoded zip of a python script to perform all of
these steps. It scans for and maps locations of shellcode pieces to the
function at 0x7c861967. It prints the table displayed above, showing all of
the mapped locations, as well as writes an output file containing the stack
frames actually used to perform the return chaining. This can be decoded
with:
$ base64 --decode pe_seance-base64.txt > pe_seance.py.zip
$ unzip pe_seance.py.zip

WriteProcessMemory() offers DEP-bypassing functionality for multiple
exploitation scenarios. In the scenario where a decent guess can be made for
the location of shellcode, this function proves to be a convenient single
hop solution. Even when the location of shellcode is undetermined, so long
as stack space is available to chain multiple returns, WriteProcessMemory()
is very helpful.
