Impact: remote buffer overflow
Status: patch available
------------------------------
Affected software description:
------------------------------
Application: Anon Proxy Server
Version: <= 0.102
Vendor: http://anonproxyserver.sourceforge.net
Description:
A fast http, https, socks caching proxy server.
Easy web based configuration, optional p2p anonymous mode.
--------------
Vulnerability:
--------------
When user authentication is enabled, the server can be exploited by
passing a long username containing quotes. The username is checked
for length, but the function strquotecpy() in the file access.c
escapes quote characters by prepending a backslash, enlarging
the string without checking it for the resulting length.
------------
PoC/Exploit:
------------
Use the following perl code to generate a username triggering
the buffer overflow when used for authentication:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "A" x 430 . '"' x 29 . "A" x 40 . "\n";
The program will catch the exception and restart itself - attach a
debugger to see the EIP overwrite.
---------
Solution:
---------
Upgrade to version 0.103 or higher.
