Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in 0verkill 0.16. This affects the function parse_command_line. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple buffer overflows in Overkill (0verkill) 0.15pre3 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code in the client via a long HOME environment variable in the (1) load_cfg and (2) save_cfg functions; possibly allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long strings to (3) the send_message function; and, in the server, via (4) the parse_command_line function.

The weakness was presented 11/23/2004 by Adam Zabrocki (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at marc.theaimsgroup.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2004-0238. The exploitability is told to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known.

A public exploit has been developed in ANSI C. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.
