===============
1) Introduction
===============

Kazaa is currently the worldג€™s most common P2P file sharing application.
When installing Kazaa a new protocol is installed named ג€sig2datג€.
This protocol contain an integer overflow vulnerability which may cause
a crash and may allow remote execution of code. There is another
vulnerability in the ג€File:ג€ parameter which allows creating files in
arbitrary locations and committing Denial Of Service.

2) Bug
======

The sig2dat protocol syntax:
Sig2dat://<filename>%7c<file length in bytes>< file length in
kilobytes>%7c<HASH>%7c

The vulnerable parameter is the file ג€Lengthג€ (in bytes). Specifying a
numeric value bigger than a 999999999.

Successful exploiting of this vulnerability may allow remote code execution.

There is another vulnerability in the ג€File:ג€ parameter. It allows creation
of files in arbitrary locations within the same partition as the shared
folder,
using the classic directory transversal technique ג€../ג€.

For Example:
<A HREF="sig2dat://%7CFile:../../../../../../Docume~1/All Users/Start Menu/
Programs/Startup/cool.bat%7CLength:373236528%20Bytes,364489KB%7CUUHash:=DEf
