SHOUTcast remote format string vulnerability



Product:    SHOUTcast v1.9.4 (and older?)
Vendor:     http://www.shoutcast.com
Vuln:       Remote format string
BugFinder:  Tomasz Trojanowski (onestep)
Author:     Damian Put <pucik@xxxxxxxxxxx> www.CC-Team.org
Date:       Dec 23, 2004


1. BACKGROUND

"SHOUTcast is Nullsoft's Free Winamp-based distributed streaming audio
system. Thousands of broadcasters around the world are waiting for you to
tune in and listen"


2. DESCRIPTION

Remote exploitation of a format string vulnerability could allow execution
of arbitrary code.

A part of request, which was sent by attacker to server, would be included
in second arg of sprintf() function (0x0804adc3 in linux binary). It is
obviously not good from a security viewpoint. We can crash SHOUTcast in a
very easy way, using following request:

http://host:8000/content/%n.mp3

Or reach remote shell thanks to attached exploit`s code.
