Re: smail remote and local root holes (really, it is exploitable)



Greg, I noticed there are actually two vulnerabilities here.  The one I posted,
and then the fact that the 'ap' pointer can be as long as one likes, and it will
be strcat()'d to the 'p' pointer.

/*

 *
 * smail preparse_address_1() heap bof remote root exploit
 *
 * infamous42md AT hotpop DOT com
 *
 * Shouts:
 *
 * BMF, wipe with the left, eat with the right
 *
 * Notes:
 *
 * You can't have any characters in overflow buffer that isspace() returns true
 * for.  The shellcode is clear of them, but if your return address or retloc
 * has one you gotta figure out another one.  My slack box has that situation,
 * heap is at 0x080d.. My gentoo laptop had no such problem and all was fine.  I
 * don't have anymore time to BS around with this and make perfect for any and
 * all, b/c I've got exam to study for and Law and Order:CI is on in an hour.
 * If the heap you're targetting is the same way, then try filling it up using
 * some other commands.  If the GOT you're targetting is at such address than
 * overwrite a return address on the stack.  Surely there's a way, check out the
 * source and be creative; I'm sure there are some memory leaks somewhere you
 * can use to fill up heap as well.
 *
 * You might run into some ugliness trying to automate this for a couple
 * reasons.  xmalloc() stores a cookie in front of buffer, and xfree() checks
 * for this cookie before calling free().  So you're going to need that aligned
 * properly unless you can cook up a way to exploit it when it bails out in
 * xfree() b/c of bad cookie and calls write_log() (this func calls malloc() so
 * maybe you can be clever and do something there). Furthermore I found that
 * when trying to trigger this multiple times the alignment was different each
 * time.  There are "definitely" more reliable ways to exploit this if you take
 * a deeper look into code which I don't have time to do right now.  The padding
 * parameter controls the alignment and the size of the chunk being allocated.
 * You'll probably have to play with it.  Yes that's fugly.
