FDTC 2017 presentation slides from our work, performed by me and Niek Timmers from @Riscure, on Fault Injection attacks applied to Linux. Our work points out how Fault Injection (FI) techniques can be used for escalating privileges in large code bases, like the Linux OS. Escalation of privilege can be obtained in minutes, after setup preparation and target characterization. We also discuss the impacts of a new FI attack technique that allows reliable loading of arbitrary values into registers. We show that control of kernel space Program Counter can be obtained by a userspace application, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution, even in absence of known SW vulnerabilities. Finally, we discuss possible mitigations, showing how, for this new class of attacks, classical FI countermeasures implemented in SW are insufficient, while modern SW exploit mitigations become applicable.
