  • 29 of November 2011 was the date of public disclosure interesting
vulnerability in lighttpd server. Xi Wang discovered that mod_auth
for this server does not propely decode characters from the extended
ASCII table. The vulnerable code is below:


"src/http_auth.c:67"
--- CUT ---
static const short base64_reverse_table[256] = ...;
static unsigned char * base64_decode(buffer *out, const char *in) {
	...
	int ch, ...;
	size_t i;
	...

		ch = in[i];
		...
		ch = base64_reverse_table[ch];
	...
}
--- CUT ---

Because variable 'in' is type 'char', characters above 0x80 lead to
negative indices.
This vulnerability may lead out-of-boud read and theoretically cause
Segmentation Fault (Denial of Service attack).
Unfortunately I couldn't find any binaries where .rodata section before
the base64_reverse_table
table cause this situation.

I have added some extra debug in the lighttpd source code to see if this
vulnerability is
executed correctly. Here is output for one of the example:

First column is the offset so vulnerability is executed like it should be
(negative offsets). Second column is byte which is read out-of-bound.

How to run this very primitive Proof of Concept?

$ gcc p_cve-2011-4362.c -o p_cve-2011-4362
$ ./p_cve-2011-4362 

	...::: -=[ Proof of Concept for CVE-2011-4362 (by Adam 'pi3' Zabrocki)

	Usage: ./p_cve-2011-4362 <options>

		Options:

		[+] Preparing arguments... OK
		[+] Creating socket... OK
		[+] Connecting to [127.0.0.1]... OK

		[+] Check the website!

$ 

Lighttpd will log this situation probably in error-log file like this:

--- CUT ---
..
..

--- CUT ---

Maybe you can find vulnerable binary?
