Subject: blkid command injection
Hi
There is a command injection inside blkid. It uses caching
files (/dev/.blkid.tab or /run/blkid/blkid.tab) to store info about the
UUID, LABEL etc it finds on certain devices.
However, it does not strip " character, so it can be confused to
build variable names containing embedded shell metas, which it would usually
encode inside the value.
Given an USB stick with /dev/sdb1 you can:
# mkfs.ext4 -L 'X"`/tmp/foo` "' /dev/sdb1
# blkid -o udev /dev/sdb1
ID_FS_LABEL=X__/tmp/foo___
[...]
Seems to be OK, but invoking blkid a second time, taking the cache in effect:
# blkid -o udev /dev/sdb1
ID_FS_LABEL=X
ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=X
ID_FS_`/tmp/foo` "" UUID=...
[...]
"blkid -o udev" is often used in root context via udev or in automounters
(uam-pmount) to construct key=value environment variables inside shell scripts
which are then evaluated.
Might be possible to construct an embedded LD_PRELOAD= as well for the binary
case.
By injecting > character one can probably construct whole fake cache entries.
