[05/30 2021]转：华为采用南科大计算机系本科生的成果封堵手机漏洞
点击查看原文：华为采用南科大计算机系本科生的成果封堵手机漏洞 5月27日，第15届进攻技术研讨会（15th Workshop On Offensive Technologies）于线上举行，南方科技大学五位大四本科生在该会议上进行关于USBType-C协议漏洞的报告。图：学生做线上报告进攻技术研讨会自2007年起，与计算机领域顶级学术会议USENIXSecurity与IEEES&P联合举办，由USENIX与IEEE协会赞助。作为信息安全领域进攻方向的研讨会，每年都会吸引大量的研究者与工业界人士参加。其主要目标为为工业界、学术界与独立黑客间建立沟通与协作的桥梁。以更好地促进信息安全领域的进步。在南方科技大学的计算机本科课程 CS315 《计算机安全》上，五位大四本科生（卢弘毅，吴烨昌，李树青，林游，张超祖）在计算机系张锋巍任课老师的指导下展开对USBType-C协议安全的分析，进行针对该协议的漏洞发掘，并该成果在国际进攻技术研讨会上进行报告。图：张锋巍老师和五位学生该项目主要借助USBType-C的接口的新功能，视频信号传输来增强之前的一个被称作BadUSB的攻击。在之前BadUSB的攻击中，其最大的缺陷是只能进行键盘的模拟来注入命令执行，但是缺乏一个反馈通道（Feedback Channel），即攻击者是无法知道目前客户端的状态的，但在USB 3.1 中，引入了一个被称作 DisplayPortOverUSB-C的特性，允许视频流在USB协议中传输。小组在注意到这一点之后，就开始着手进行该项目。项目小组最后制作了一个BadUSB-C的原型，并且把它制成了一个类似于充电宝的形状。一旦被受害者接入他们的手机，BadUSB-C可以窃取大量的用户信息，成功实现了攻击。这种类型的漏洞在共享充电宝兴起的当下实际上是十分危险的，他们在完成论文的同时，就联系了华为应急响应中心（PSIRT）来进行负责任的披露，并且该漏洞已获批漏洞编号CVE-2021-22325。在发现该漏洞的同时，该小组成员也向华为反馈了相关漏洞的信息并积极协助修复，目前该漏洞已被华为修复，同时，该漏洞也评审通过了华为终端安全漏洞奖励计划。
