Hi,

I'm a developer and admin of the aMSN project, someone just sent  
me this link
( http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2007-April/ 
053912.html ).

I just grepped in the source code and that port (31337) is not  
used by aMSN, it could be a port used for a
profile (as a locking system), in which case the port is randomly  
chosen each time, so this is probably just a
fluke, he found the port of his current aMSN instance and used it.

As I don't have more info, I can't really test this bug and find  
the real cause and fix it, so it would be nice
to have more info about this.

Seeing how the user replied on the "Vendor contacted?" tag, I  
wonder if I can get any more info on this matter.

Thanks,
KaKaRoTo

31337 is just an example port! aMSN is binding an ephermal port  
after you've
started it. Just do a netstat -an and look for ephermal ports. If  
you get the
aMSN port you can connect to it and sending some characters and  
you'll get
replies by aMSN.
If you send an '{' or '}' character to that amsn port, you'll notice
that aMSN is reporting an error message (amsn window).
But if you going to send more than one character of '}' or '{'
it will be killed. Yes, the whole client!

To "Ismail Soenmez": What about "DDoS"? Sending characters to that  
port in an
"infinite" loop is a DDoS for you?
