EXPLOIT Re: Pavuk Digest Authentication Buffer Overflow



/*
 * exploit for pavuk web spider - infamous42md AT hotpop DOT com
 *
 *  shouts to mitakeet, skullandcircle, and thanks to matt murphy for making me
 *  realize a n00bish mistake i made.
 * 
 * this exploit probably deserves a bit of an explanation as it was not exactly
 * straight forward.  the vulnerable code looks like this, with some comments
 * inlined by me:

/*  
 *  so u can see we can't just overflow and go.  we need to recreate at least
 *  the auth_digest pointer, the user pointer, and the buf pointer.  so, the
 *  strategy is as follows:
 *
 *  + overwrite auth_digest to point into the buffer we control
 *  + where we point auth_digest must also contain valid pointers as they are
 *  used as the strings that get printed into buffer.
 *  + so we point those pointers towards the very end of our buffer.  the
 *  strings they point to should not be so long. our buffer is NULL termed so if
 *  they point towards the end of it, we know they'll end at a set point.
 *  + we set the user pointer to the same place as the auth_digest pointer.
 *  + we set buf to point past the end of our buffer, at some higher address.
 *  that is where all the other strings get printed to in sprintf() and
 *  strcat().
 *  + and that's about it. so our buffer looks like this:
 *
 *                          <-------------------|
 *  ALIGN NOPS SHELL STRING_PTRS RETADDR USER_AND_DIGEST_PTRS BUF_PTRS 
 *                      |----------------------------^           |------^
 *
 *  the only arg you pass is the base address of the buffer that we overwrite,
 *  which lays somewhere on the stack.  note this is not the location of our
 *  original buffer, but the location of the pom variable from above func.  and
 *  you need to be root as we bind to port 80 and pretend to be a webserver.
 * 
 *  [root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] ./ps       
 *      Usage: ./ps <base of nonce buffer>
 *  
 *  [root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] ./ps 0xbfffdb34
 *  got a shell
 *
 *  id
 *  uid=1000(n00b) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
