Exploit for CVE-2021-30807. If you really want to build a jailbreak out of it, it will require tuning for your device and iOS version because I have no info leak to use for this.
To tune for A11 and below, use pongo to load xnuspy and build with
SAMPLING_MEMORY=1 make -B
. This will enable a test that gathers
the memory returned by kernel_memory_allocate
, sorts those pointers,
then spits out a range. You'll see something like this:
sample_kernel_map: 0xffffffe8ebe9c000 [0x10000 bytes from behind]
sample_kernel_map: to add to alloc_averager:
[0xffffffe8ce934000, 0xffffffe8ebf98000],
(just ignore the warnings it spits out)
The test is meant to be ran 30 seconds after the device boots.
Inside alloc_averager.py
is a couple of samples I already ran for
my phones. It takes the average of all the averages of each range.
Create a "samples list" for your device and add the range to it.
Repeat the test a couple times until you have 5-10 entries in that
list. alloc_averager.py
will report a success rate for the guess it
generates based on the list. If you like the success rate, take the guess
and replace the value for GUESSED_OSDATA_BUFFER_PTR
at the top of
IOMobileFramebufferUserClient.c
with it.
It is very important to not include outliers in this list. After running the test a couple times you'll likely run into a range that sticks out from the rest of the ranges you already have.
You will need to find offsets for your device/version to run this test.
First, to find kernel_memory_allocate
, simply xref
kernel_memory_allocate: VM is not ready
. When you have the offset
set kma
's value to it inside install_kernel_memory_alloc_hook
.
Second, to isolate the test from the other allocations XNU makes,
I test for a specific return address. That address is inside
OSData::initWithCapacity
. You can easily find OSData's vtable
by xrefing the string "OSData"
. The first xref to that string
will be in a function that has an xref to the vtable for OSData::MetaClass.
Right above that vtable is OSData's vtable, and OSData::initWithCapacity
is at +0x78
.
Once you have OSData::initWithCapacity
, find the only BL
to
kernel_memory_allocate
and take the offset of the instruction right below
it. Inside kernel_hooks.c
, use that offset in the only if statement
in the only function in that file.
A12+ will need to use something like Correlium.
