BNBT EasyTracker DoS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
"The <http://bnbteasytracker.sourceforge.net/> Trinity Edition of BNBT
(TrinEdit) a modified version of BNBT, whose C++ source can be compiled
for any operating system; BNBT EasyTracker a Windows Installer for The
Trinity Edition of BNBT, a C++ BitTorrent Tracker."
A Denial of Service vulnerability exists within BNBT which allows an
attacker to cause the BNBT to stop responding.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* BNBT version 7.7r3.2004.10.27 and prior
A specifically crafted HTTP request will cause the BNBT Server stop
responding.
By Sending a request such as "GET /index.htm HTTP/1.1\r\n:\r\n\r\n" will
cause the DoS. It seems that the bug is located in client.cpp, "//grab
headers" section.
Code snips:
client.cpp:
// grab headers
string :: size_type iNewLine = m_strReceiveBuf.find( "\r\n" );
string :: size_type iDoubleNewLine = m_strReceiveBuf.find( "\r\n\r\n" );
strTemp = m_strReceiveBuf.substr( iNewLine + strlen( "\r\n" ),
iDoubleNewLine - iNewLine - strlen( "\r\n" ) );
while( 1 )
{
string :: size_type iSplit = strTemp.find( ":" );
string :: size_type iEnd = strTemp.find( "\r\n" );
if( iSplit == string :: npos )
{
UTIL_LogPrint( "client warning - malformed HTTP request (bad header)\n" );
break;
}
string strKey = strTemp.substr( 0, iSplit );
string strValue = strTemp.substr( iSplit + strlen( ": " ), iEnd - iSplit -
strlen( "\r\n" ) );//Bug here ??
rqst.mapHeaders.insert( pair<string, string>( strKey, strValue ) );
strTemp = strTemp.substr( iEnd + strlen( "\r\n" ) );
if( iEnd == string :: npos )
break;
}
