In the MMM::Agent::Helpers::Network::clear_ip function in MySQL Multi-Master Replication Manager (MMM) mmm_agentd 2.2.1 (for FreeBSD), a specially crafted MMM protocol message can cause a shell command injection resulting in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the mmm\_agentd process. An attacker that can initiate a TCP session with mmm\_agentd can trigger this vulnerability.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Vulnerability is triggered via a specially crafted MMM protocol message over a TCP session to mmm_agentd; monitor for unexpected TCP connections to the mmm_agentd process and resulting shell command execution
  • Shell command injection occurs within the MMM::Agent::Helpers::Network::clear_ip function; monitor process trees spawned by mmm_agentd for unexpected child shell processes
  • Full technical details and PoC available at Talos vulnerability report TALOS-2017-0501; consult for additional detection signatures
  • ·Vulnerability is specific to the FreeBSD build of mmm_agentd version 2.2.1; other OS builds may not be affected
  • ·Exploitation requires network-level access to initiate a TCP session with mmm_agentd; network segmentation limiting access to the agent port is a key mitigation factor
