Firefox 2.0.0.7 ParseFTPList Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability 2. Zaptel 1.4.5.1 SetHDLC.c Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Vulnerability Details ========================= ========================= 1. Firefox 2.0.0.7 ParseFTPList Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability =================================================================== Firefox 2.0.0.7 is prone to remote denial of service vulnerability. This can be achieved via enticing the unaware victim to open a specially crafted ftp server. While listing files (ParseFTPList.cpp), reading from invalid pointer occurs that results in denial of service conditions. 004C848E |. 8985 5CFFFFFF |MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-A4],EAX 004C8494 |. 8B00 |MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX] 004C8496 |. 0FBE00 |MOVSX EAX,BYTE PTR DS:[EAX]; here is the crash In ParseFTPList.cpp 'pos' is not properly sanitized, thus an out of bounds array access (on line 1039; 'pos' can be greater than the number of indices in the 'tokens' array). The exploitation of the vulnerability has been proven using a FTP server and a specially crafted file. Firefox failed to handle the FTP list parsing. Note that Firefox 2.0.0.8 is not vulnerable. Special thanks to iDefense and Mozilla community for the cooperation. 2. Zaptel 1.4.5.1 SetHDLC.c Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability ==================================================================== Zaptel 1.4.5.1 is prone to buffer overflow vulnerability when copying user-supplied device name to req.ifr_name (sethdlc.c), where req is an object of ifreq (type). Linux supports some standard ioctls to configure network devices. They can be used on any socket's file descriptor regardless of the family or type. They pass an ifreq structure: struct ifreq { char ifr_name[IFNAMSIZ];/* Interface name */ ..
