Vulnerable Application

Vulnerable Allwinner SoC chips: H3, A83T or H8 which rely on Kernel 3.4.

Vulnerable OS:

  • all OS images available for Orange Pis

  • any for FriendlyARM's NanoPi M1

  • SinoVoip's M2+ and M3

  • Cuebietech's Cubietruck +

  • Linksprite's pcDuino8 Uno

Exploitation may be possible against Dragon (x10) and Allwinner Android tablets.

This module attempts to exploit a debug backdoor privilege escalation in Allwinner SoC based devices. Implements the Allwinner privilege escalation as documented in Metasploit issue #6869. It is a simple debug kernel module that, when "rootmydevice" is echoed to the process, it escalates the shell to root.

Verification Steps

To use this module, you need a vulnerable device.

An Orange Pi (PC model) running Lubuntu 14.04 v0.8.0 works, but other OSes for the device (as well as other devices) are also vulnerable.

  1. Start msfconsole

  2. Get a session

  3. Do: use exploit/multi/local/allwinner_backdoor

  4. Do: set SESSION [SESSION]

  5. Do: set LHOST [LHOST]

  6. Do: run

  7. You should get a new root session
