Title: GazTek HTTP Daemon v1.4-3 Buffer Overflow
Author: flea
Vulnerable GazTek HTTP Daemon <= v1.4-3
Problem: Buffer Overflow
Remote: Yes
Release: October 7, 2002
Vendor: Contacted
Exploit: PRPghttpd.c
- -=================================================================-
- - Package Overview
===================
Ghttpd is a fast and efficient HTTP server that has CGI support.
Ghttpd has a small memory inprint and is capable of handling thousands of
simultanious connections. It is ideal for large and small websites.
- - Issue Specifics
==================
Ghttpd server contains a remotely exploitable buffer overflow
which allows an attacker to gain ghttpd's previleges.
The overflow occurs when a long "GET <buffer>" query is sent trough
a session and this is logged by the function Log():
protocol.c:103:
Log("Connection from %s, request = \"GET %s\"",
inet_ntoa(sa.sin_addr), ptr);
While executing the Log() function a buffer is copied without
checking boundries resulting in a buffer overflow:
util.c:208: void Log(char *format, ...)
util.c:213: char temp[200], temp2[200], logfilename[255];
util.c:219: vsprintf(temp, format, ap);
This flaw was detected in the latest ghttpd version(1.4-3) but
it's likely that the problem exists in previous versions as well, altough
this was not tested.
A proof of concept exploit was coded for ghttpd servers running on
"i386 RedHat 7.3 Linux", "i386 RedHat 7.2 Linux" and "i386 Slackware 8.1"
operating systems.

==================
Another similar bug affects the Log() function, so here's a
temporary fix for both.
