Re: [Full-Disclosure] Re: Gaim festival plugin exploit




DUH... would help if I attached my attachment.

I am right proud of myself for this, and it also needs mention to
address the security issue that our friend Error (is that a reference to
Zelda 2?) raised.
Attached, find the latest reissue of the Gaim festival plugin. The guy
that wrote it, wrote it for pre-0.68 Perl API, but it was secure against
the sort of attack that Error described.  I have since taken it and
recoded it to work with post-0.68 versions of Gaim.  It is attached.  By
all means, if you see an exploitable bug in there, let me know!  I'm

Hi Brian,

This updated version is still vulnerable. You should be *very* wary of any call to system() or fork(). Consider this input:

"This is only a test && rm -rf /"

Notice that ';' isn't the only way to inject into a commandline.

Cheers,
