Evil Pickles: DoS Attacks Based on Object-Graph Engineering (Artifact)

Authors: Jens Dietrich, Kamil Jezek, Shawn Rasheed, Amjed Tahir, and Alex Potanin

Published in: DARTS, Volume 3, Issue 2, Special Issue of the 31st European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2017)


Abstract
This artefact demonstrates the effects of the serialisation vulnerabilities described in the companion paper. It is composed of three components: scripts, including source code, for Java, Ruby and C# serialisation-vulnerabilities, two case studies that demonstrate attacks based on the vulnerabilities, and a contracts-based mitigation strategy for serialisation-based attacks on Java applications. The artefact allows users to witness how the serialisation-based vulnerabilities result in behavior that can be used in security attacks. It also supports the repeatability of the case study experiments and the benchmark for the mitigation measures proposed in the paper. Instructions for running the tasks are provided along with a description of the artefact setup.

Evil Pickles: DoS Attacks Based on Object-Graph Engineering

Authors: Jens Dietrich, Kamil Jezek, Shawn Rasheed, Amjed Tahir, and Alex Potanin

Abstract
In recent years, multiple vulnerabilities exploiting the serialisation APIs of various programming languages, including Java, have been discovered. These vulnerabilities can be used to devise in- jection attacks, exploiting the presence of dynamic programming language features like reflection or dynamic proxies. In this paper, we investigate a new type of serialisation-related vulnerabilit- ies for Java that exploit the topology of object graphs constructed from classes of the standard library in a way that deserialisation leads to resource exhaustion, facilitating denial of service attacks. We analyse three such vulnerabilities that can be exploited to exhaust stack memory, heap memory and CPU time. We discuss the language and library design features that enable these vulnerabilities, and investigate whether these vulnerabilities can be ported to C#, Java- Script and Ruby. We present two case studies that demonstrate how the vulnerabilities can be used in attacks on two widely used servers, Jenkins deployed on Tomcat and JBoss. Finally, we propose a mitigation strategy based on contract injection.
