(http://www.foundstone.com) Operating Systems: Windows variants Vulnerable versions: SimpleServer:Shout v1.0 Foundstone Advisory: http://www.foundstone.com/advisories.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------- Description A buffer overflow exists in AnalogX's SimpleServer:Shout software. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the Shout daemon (default is SYSTEM). Details Sending a fake request to the target system on TCP port 8001 consisting of a packet of 348 or more non-space characters followed by 2 carriage return linefeeds causes a write access violation in the application. Manually dismissing the application error message box that is displayed on the affected system at this point will terminate the process. If the message box is not manually dismissed,, repeated sending of the request causes repeated access violation message boxes to appear on the affected system to the point where the service no longer responds. Different number of bytes sent cause different error conditions to occur, such as write access violations and Watcom memory error dialogs to appear. Solution: Refer to the vendor's web site for further details: http://www.analogx.com Credits: Foundstone would like to thank AnalogX for their prompt response and handling of this problem.
