Remote Buffer Overflow Exploit in Half-Life Server 3.1.1.0

Code

                                                /*****************************************************************
 * hoagie_hlserver.c
 *
 * Remote exploit for Halflife-Servers.
 *
 * Binds a shell to port 30464/tcp and connects to it.
 *
 * Author: [email protected]
 *
 * This hole was found by Auriemma Luigi.
 * Uses code from the proof-of-concept DoS-exploit by Auriemma Luigi.
 *
 * Tested with HL-Server v3.1.1.0. Works only with the Linux server
 * (though making a Win32-exploit should be trivial)
 *
 * How this exploit works:
 * There is a buffer on the stack that is being overwritten with
 * our supplied shellcode. Too bad that it lies on an address that
 * has 0xFF in it (e.g. 0xbfffe000) and half life filters these
 * characters out, so we can't write the address of the shellcode
 * there. 
 * Luckily, the function that copies the shellcode into the buffer
 * has the address of the buffer in %eax when it exits. So, we jump 
 * to the location 0x0804AE93 (which is the same in ALL half life
 * servers, thanks to the fact that it is a binary distrubtion)
 * where the instruction "call *%eax" is located. And so the shellcode
 * gets executed...
