smb4k 0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7 args stack-based overflow

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Summaryinfo

A vulnerability marked as problematic has been reported in smb4k 0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality. Performing a manipulation of the argument args results in stack-based overflow. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2007-0475. No exploit is available. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in smb4k 0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7. This affects an unknown code. The manipulation of the argument args with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in utilities/smb4k_*.cpp in Smb4K before 0.8.0 allow local users, when present on the Smb4K sudoers list, to gain privileges via unspecified vectors related to the args variable and unspecified other variables, in conjunction with the sudo configuration.

The bug was discovered 12/21/2006. The weakness was published 02/03/2007 by Kees Cook (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at lists.berlios.de. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2007-0475 since 01/24/2007. Attacking locally is a requirement. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 44 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 24801 (GLSA-200703-09 : Smb4K: Multiple vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Gentoo Local Security Checks and running in the context l.

Upgrading to version 0.8.0 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 2 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (24801), SecurityFocus (BID 22299†), OSVDB (32984†), Secunia (SA23937†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-14483†). Similar entries are available at VDB-34814, VDB-34813 and VDB-34812. Be aware that VulDB is the high quality source for vulnerability data.
