0x01 背景


Soot作者Eric Bodden所在的实验室, Secure Software Engineering最近宣布他们将在SPSM’14上讲述名为Denial-of-App-Attack的Android系统漏洞,影响4.4.3之前的机型,并给出了poc和对应的google commit id.

这个在googlecode上对应的链接是 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65790

POC:https://github.com/secure-software-engineering/denial-of-app-attack

该问题可以导致攻击者可以指定应用使其无法安装在手机上,除非有root权限或者factory reset手机。可以被木马用来占位拒绝杀毒软件的安装,或者占位拒绝竞品安装。下面是根据commit diff和poc给出的漏洞具体分析。

0x02 问题现象:


下载安装这个POC,可以看到其实就是指定一个packagename,例如com.taobao.taobao,然后生成了一个malformed的APK并执行安装,由于该APK的dex是非法的,安装的时候会报告INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT并安装失败。但如果随后安装真正的com.taobao.taobao时,即使指定了重新安装选项(pm install -r),却会报INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED,导致后续安装失败,而在被占位的手机上已安装应用中却找不到com.taobao.taobao,自然也无法清除掉占位的幽灵,造成真正的淘宝应用完全无法安装,推而广之可以用在360等杀毒软件上。

POC

安装之后

正常应用无法安装

install -r

0x03 问题本质:

Google的diff对此问题的描述是:

We’d otherwise leave the data dirs & native libraries lying around. This will leave the app permanently broken because the next install of the app will fail with INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED.

Also remove an unnecessary instance variable.

Cherry-pick from master Bug 13416059

通过观察可以发现,第一次安装(所谓“占位”)结束的时候,在/data/data/目录下已经有了com.taobao.taobao目录并分配了一个uid,例如u70(10070),但第二次安装的时候,PackageManager却出现了UID_CHANGED的error,而没有复用u70,这是为什么?

uid

INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT和UID_CHANGED是在如下代码块中:

#!java
3622    private PackageParser.Package scanPackageLI(PackageParser.Package pkg,
3623            int parseFlags, int scanMode, long currentTime, UserHandle user) {
//....
4141        if ((scanMode&SCAN_NO_DEX) == 0) {
4142            if (performDexOptLI(pkg, forceDex, (scanMode&SCAN_DEFER_DEX) != 0)
4143                    == DEX_OPT_FAILED) {
4144                mLastScanError = PackageManager.INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT;
4145                return null;
4146            }
4147        }

scanPackageLI函数流程大概如下:

#!java
/**/
//检查是否系统应用
/**/
//检查Package是否重复,否则抛出PackageManager.INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PACKAGE
  // Initialize package source and resource directories
3686        File destCodeFile = new File(pkg.applicationInfo.sourceDir);
3687        File destResourceFile = new File(pkg.applicationInfo.publicSourceDir);
//...
 // Just create the setting, don't add it yet. For already existing packages
3812            // the PkgSetting exists already and doesn't have to be created.
3813            pkgSetting = mSettings.getPackageLPw(pkg, origPackage, realName, suid, destCodeFile,
3814                    destResourceFile, pkg.applicationInfo.nativeLibraryDir,
3815                    pkg.applicationInfo.flags, user, false);
//在这之后uid已经被指定了

4146            }
4147        }

那么漏洞的原理就很清楚了,第一次占位安装时,故意让PMS在数据目录已分配uid并写入了/data/data/下之后走到dexopt时使其报错,导致安装异常终止,此时已放置的数据目录却没有被清除掉。第二次安装的时候package被分配了新的的uid,但此时已有同名却不同uid的数据目录存在,导致uid_changed错误,安装失败。

为什么第二次安装的时候就会被分配不同的uid?关键在于 mSettings.getPackageLPw,辗转ref到/frameworks/base/services/java/com/android/server/pm/Settings.java

#!java

    } else {

442                            // user we are installing for.
443                            final boolean installed = installUser == null
444                                    || installUser.getIdentifier() == UserHandle.USER_ALL
445                                    || installUser.getIdentifier() == user.id;
446                            p.setUserState(user.id, COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT,
447                                    installed,
448                                    true, // stopped,
449                                    true, // notLaunched
450                                    null, null);
451                            writePackageRestrictionsLPr(user.id);
452                        }
453                    }
454                }
455                if (sharedUser != null) {
456                    p.appId = sharedUser.userId;
457                } else {
458                    // Clone the setting here for disabled system packages
459                    PackageSetting dis = mDisabledSysPackages.get(name);
460                    if (dis != null) {
//omit..
484                    } else {
485                        // Assign new user id
486                        p.appId = newUserIdLPw(p);//关键点
487                    }
488                }

继续查看newUserIdLPw

#!java
private int newUserIdLPw(Object obj) {
2360        // Let's be stupidly inefficient for now...
2361        final int N = mUserIds.size();
2362        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
2363            if (mUserIds.get(i) == null) {//检查空位
2364                mUserIds.set(i, obj);
2365                return Process.FIRST_APPLICATION_UID + i;
2366            }
2367        }
2368
2369        // None left?
2370        if (N > (Process.LAST_APPLICATION_UID-Process.FIRST_APPLICATION_UID)) {
2371            return -1;
2372        }
2373
2374        mUserIds.add(obj);
2375        return Process.FIRST_APPLICATION_UID + N;
2376    }

mUserIds是一个PackageSettings的数组状结构,维护了当前的userid,并在安装时遍历进行分配。在第一次恶意的占位安装中, mUserIds这个array状结构已经被添加了一个PackageSettings进去,形成类似于

#!java
[PackageSetting{(10001, bla)}, ..., PackageSetting{(10070, com.taobao.taobao)}]

的结构,但在dexopt failed的时候最末尾一项没有被移除。随后再安装时,newUserIdLPw会遍历mUserIds,发现没有空位,就会在末尾重新添加一个,就会形成

#!java
[PackageSetting{(10001, bla)},...,PackageSetting{(10070, com.taobao.taobao)},PackageSetting{(10071, com.taobao.taobao)}]

的结构,导致两次安装分配的UID不同,触发INSTALL_FAILED_UID_CHANGED。

但值得注意的是,这时候mUserIds并没有被固化在packages.xml和packages.list中。

0x04 进一步思考


那么这样肯定会想到,如果杀掉system_server(软重启),让其重新扫描并建立mUserIds数组不就能修复这个问题了?

理论上来说,如果在重启前没有安装过其他应用的话,那么这还真是可行的。因为重启后重新建立的uid数组是[(10001, bla),…,()10069, haha)],那么重新安装的com.taobao.taobao刚好能占到10070的位置,皆大欢喜。

但如果在重启后又安装了其他应用,那么其就会占掉10070的位置,导致taobao再安装的时候以10071及之后的uid就拿不回原来应该属于它的/data/data/com.taoba.taobao了… what a pity.

以上在stock rom(Genymotion, SDK)和小米2、Nexus等上验证通过。

所以现在看来,原作者说只有root或者reset才能清除这个问题的说法似乎不准确,至少从给出的poc和google的diff来看实验结果某些情况下重启就能fix。具体还有什么细节就只能等待SPSM的paper了。总体来说,这是一个比较好玩的trick类漏洞,而且从issuelink来看,应该还有一些其他类型的同样效果的漏洞存在。

如何fix某个占位攻击:

root下删除该数据目录即可,非root。。。那只能reset了。
