Highly critical
IMPACT:
DoS, System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
Babo Violent 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/15309/
DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered some vulnerabilities in Babo Violent,
which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) or to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A vulnerability exists in the processing of data packets with IDs
equal to 0xca, 0xcb, 0xcc, 0xce, 0xcf, or 0xd0. This can be exploited
to crash a Babo Violent server by setting the first byte in the packet
to a number greater than 0x27.
2) A format string error exists in the processing of messages. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially
crafted message to a Babo Violent server.
NOTE: The same error reportedly exists also in the processing of the
administrator login.
3) An error in the processing of map names can be exploited to crash
the Babo Violent server by requesting an inexistent map.
4) An error in the processing of UDP packets can be exploited to
crash Babo Violent servers or clients by sending a specially crafted
UDP packet containing an invalid size.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.08.00. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Use Babo Violent clients and servers only in a trusted network
environment.
