	========================================


* Title: Remote Multiple Buffer Overflow(s) vulnerability in Libcgi-tuxbr.


0x01. Description


LIBCGI is a simple of functions to create CGI programs in C.
It provides support for both GET and POST request methods,
parsing data, an URLDecode function, access to MySQL functions,
and excellent documentation.  

Vulnerability happens because of 'parse_field()' function.
It's in 129 lines of 'cgi_lib.c' code.
Let's examine. :-)

   __
   129  void parse_field(char *field, char *rtnfield)
        ...
   132       char *ptr,
   133            *endptr,
   134            tmp_field[128];
        ...
   137          sprintf(tmp_field,"%s=",field); // "field1="
   138
   139          if((ptr=strstr(req_http,tmp_field))!=NULL)
   140          {
   141                  ptr+=strlen(tmp_field); // "[value]&field2=[value2]&field3=[value3]"
   142
   143                  if((endptr=strchr(ptr,'&'))!=NULL) // "&field2=[value2]&field3=[value3]"
   144                  {
   145                      memmove(rtnfield, ptr, (endptr - ptr)+1); // here.
   146                          rtnfield[(endptr - ptr)]='\0';
   147                  }
        ...

Attacker can change flowing of program easily in remote.


0x02. Vulnerable Packages


Vendor site: http://www.tuxbr.com.br/

libcgi-1.0.3
-libcgi-1.0.3.tar.gz
+Linux
libcgi-1.0.2
-libcgi-1.0.2.tar.gz


0x03. Exploit


There is very good CGI example program.
The CGI program uses parse_field().

Example CGI Program: /cgi-bin/sample3.cgi

let's examine source code.

    __
     6  char name[64], // 64
     7       address[64],
     8       tel[64];
        ...
    12          parse_field("name",name); // exploitable !
    13          parse_field("address",address);
    14          parse_field("telephone",tel);
    --

I'm going to do test simply.
See well.

It's very basic stack based overflow.
Can do exploit in remote.
