mah-jong[v1.4]: server/client remote buffer overflow exploit. Oct 22 2003 09:36AM
Vade 79 (v9 fakehalo deadpig org)


did an audit of mah-jong after seeing something about a debian advisory...the bug(s) found weren't mentioned, but were fixed in the overall (giant) patch for mah-jong, which is provided on debian's website(1.4-2 patch). anyways, here is an exploit for the bug(s) found.

original reference:

http://fakehalo.deadpig.org/xmjong.c

------------------------ exploit: xmjong.c. ------------------------

/*[ mah-jong[v1.4]: server/client remote buffer overflow exploit. ]*

* *

* by: vade79/v9 v9 (at) fakehalo.deadpig (dot) org [email concealed] (fakehalo/realhalo) *

* *

* compile: *

* cc xmjong.c -o xmjong *

* *

* syntax: *

* ./xmjong <host|-b> [port] [return address] [offset] *

* *

* this program exploits the "SetPlayerOption" command of *

* mah-jong's server(mj-server) and the "PlayerOptionSet" command *

* of mah-jong's client(mj-player). while this is an undiscovered *

* bug, the giant all-purpose patch on debian's package site *

* appears to have resolved the issue. as such, this exploit *

* is applied to CAN-2003-0705. *

* *

* the overflow itself occurs do to an unchecked sscanf() call to *

* write to little_buffer[32]. the situation is rather odd do to *

* the repetitive nature of dec_pmsg.c/dec_cmsg.c using sscanf() *

* to write to little_buffer[32] properly, with limitation *

* restrictions, the other 13 times. the "SetPlayerOption" and *

* "PlayerOptionSet" command apparently slipped by. *

* *

* the original plan to exploit this bug was by placing the *

* shellcode after the overflow itself, in the same *

* little_buffer[32](shellcode on the stack) location. however, *

* there happens to not be very much on the stack, so you start *

* running into environmental variables quickly. this is too *

* dependent on the environment size, and will often run out of *

* bounds on small environments(ie. 0xc0000000 on linux). *

* *

* so, instead the shellcode is being placed on the heap in the *

* "buffer.1" buffer. this can be found by running "objdump -x *

* mj-?????? | grep buffer.1", where "??????" is "server" or *

* "player", depending on what program is being exploited. once *

* the "buffer.1" address is found add 512 to it, this is to skip *

* the initial (re-used) junk at the beginning of the buffer. *

* *

* bug location: *

* (server-side; dec_pmsg.c) *

* 316:if ( strcmp(type,"SetPlayerOption") == 0 ) { *

* ... *

* 324:if ( sscanf(s,"%s %n",little_string,&n) ==0 ) { warn("pr$ *

* (client-side; dec_cmsg.c) *

* 876:if ( strcmp(type,"PlayerOptionSet") == 0 ) { *

* ... *
