Summaryinfo

A vulnerability labeled as problematic has been found in openttd. Impacted is the function ttd_main. The manipulation of the argument -g results in memory corruption. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2008-3577. No exploit is available. The affected component should be upgraded.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in openttd. It has been classified as problematic. Affected is the function ttd_main. The manipulation of the argument -g 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. CVE summarizes:

Buffer overflow in src/openttd.cpp in OpenTTD before 0.6.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a large filename supplied to the "-g" parameter in the ttd_main function. NOTE: it is unlikely that this issue would cross privilege boundaries in typical environments.

The bug was discovered 08/01/2008. The weakness was published 08/10/2008 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at security.gentoo.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2008-3577 since 08/10/2008. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 9 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 35799 (GLSA-200903-09 : OpenTTD: Execution of arbitrary code), 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 0.1.4 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 8 months after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
