Half Life - 'rcon' Remote Buffer Overflow

EDB-ID:

181

CVE:



Author:

Sao Paulo

Type:

remote


Platform:

Linux

Date:

2000-11-16


/*
 *  SDI HalfLife rcon remote exploit for linux x86
 *  (portuguese) exploit remoto para o buffer overflow do rcon no halflife
 *  
 *  Tamandua Sekure Labs (Sao Paulo - Porto Alegre, Brazil)
 *  by Thiago Zaninotti (c0nd0r) <condor@sekure.org>
 *     Gustavo Scotti   (csh)    <csh@sekure.org>
 *  
 *  Proof of concept - There is a remote exploitable buffer overflow
 *  in Half Life server (3.1.0.x) for linux (HLDS). The problem is 
 *  related to the RCON command (Remote CONsole).
 *  (port.) Existe um buffer overflow exploitavel no Half Life Server
 *  (HLDS) relacionado ao comando RCON.
 *  
 *  After several tests, we found out the 'rcon' command is also vulnerable
 *  to a format string attack which can also lead to a remote exploit.
 *  (port) O comando RCON tambem e' vulneravel a um format string attack.
 *  
 *  YOU DO NOT NEED THE RCON PASSWORD TO EXPLOIT THIS VULNERABILITY, 
 *  which means any multiplayer server is vulnerable to the attack.
 *  (port) Voce nao precisa de password para explorar esta vulnerabilidade,
 *    o que significa que qualquer servidor e' vulneravel.
 *
