Defcom Labs Advisory def-2001-18 - Cyberscheduler for Linux, Windows, and Solaris lacks bounds checking on the timezone variable, allowing remote root compromise. Patch available here. Includes proof of concept exploit x-cybershcehd.c and a shell script to brute force the offset. Vulnerable systems include Mandrake, RedHat, Slackware, Caldera, Suse, Debian, Windows NT, 2000 (IIS 4.0 and 5.0), and Solaris 2.5, 2.6, 7, and 8.

Defcom Labs Advisory def-2000-18
Cyberscheduler remote root/execution compromise
Author: Enrique A. Sanchez Montellano <@defcom.com>
Release Date: 2001-04-17
======================================================================
------------------------=[Brief Description]=-------------------------
Due to no bounds checking in the condition of the timetzone variable
in the login verification in the cyberscheduler paackage a buffer
overflow occurs, thus rendering execution on the remote machine.
------------------------=[Affected Systems]=--------------------------
Linux: Mandrake, RedHat, Slackware, Caldera, Suse, Debian.
Windows: NT, 2000 (IIS 4.0 and 5.0).
Solaris: 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8.
----------------------=[Detailed Description]=------------------------
Due to an assumption in the size of the variable passed as timezone
in the login procedure of the cybercalendar cyberscheduler it occurs
a buffer overflow that renders the complete stack.
The size of the variable, wich is 262 bytes, makes the assumption that
the size of the timezone will not change, while mapping the login the
deamon websyncd tries to set the variable timezone and then the overflow
occurs, there is no need to have a working username in the machine
the buffer overflow occurs before the username is set.
The offending command is:
/cgi-bin/websync.exe?ed=&Es=7x1x101&un=nahual&hn=lab&rpt=/scheduler/
En_US/WebResources&cbn=/cgi-bin/websync.exe&dow=sun&dmy=Off&tfh=Off
&lan=En_US&ix=0&amd=2&epw=WiXwWFp&mrd=-1&mrc=0&mrb=0&bnv=9&ds=7x1x101
&tzs=PST8PDT
If the variable tzs is increased to over 300 the program crashes thus
rendering the stack completly to the intruder.
A proof of concept exploit has been coded and is being released to test
is your system is vulnerable.
