Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Eggheads Eggdrop IRC Bot 1.6.18 (Chat Software). This issue affects an unknown code of the file servrmsg.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in mod/server.mod/servrmsg.c in Eggdrop 1.6.18, and possibly earlier, allows user-assisted, remote IRC servers to execute arbitrary code via a long private message.

The weakness was shared 04/19/2007 as Bug 462 as confirmed bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared at eggheads.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2007-2807 since 05/22/2007. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known.

A public exploit has been developed by Thomas Sader in ANSI C and been published 3 years after the advisory. The exploit is available at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 29282 (Fedora 8 : eggdrop-1.6.18-12.fc8 (2007-4305)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Fedora Local Security Checks.
