QUALYS 發現 Linux glibc 有嚴重漏洞，可以遠端控制系統

glibc 是一個 Linux 系統核心裡很重要的東西，大部份程式都會使用這個，

這次的漏洞名稱叫 GHOST，由來是從 gethostbyname() functions 發生的

What is the vulnerability?

During a code audit Qualys researchers discovered a buffer overflow in the __nss_hostname_digits_dots() function of glibc. This bug can be triggered both locally and remotely via all the gethostbyname*() functions. Applications have access to the DNS resolver primarily through the gethostbyname*() set of functions. These functions convert a hostname into an IP address.

  char name[sizeof(temp.buffer)];
  memset(name, '0', len);
  name[len] = '\0';
 
  retval = gethostbyname_r(name, &resbuf, temp.buffer, sizeof(temp.buffer), &result, &herrno);
 
  if (strcmp(temp.canary, CANARY) != 0) {
    puts("vulnerable");
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
  }
  if (retval == ERANGE) {
    puts("not vulnerable");
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
  }
  puts("should not happen");
  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
EOF

gcc GHOST.c -o GHOST

./GHOST

因為用到 glibc 的程式就有這些，你可以一個一個 restart ，不然就要 reboot 了

lsof | grep libc | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq
