Looking at 
http://cvs.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/gnutls/doc/protocol/
draft-benaloh-pct-01.txt?rev=HEAD&cvsroot=GNU+TLS+Library&content-type=t
ext/plain

You will notice the PCT version 2 will actually set the CLIENT_VER to
0x02 
(PCT_VERSION_V2 := 0x0002), so our packet is not PCT version 1.0 but
rather 
version 2.0.

The CLIENT_HELLO of PCT v2 looks like (The original draft baddly labled
the 
version as the third parameter, which is not logical, as it won't be 
compatible with SSL/PCTv1):
char CH_CLIENT_VERSION[2]
char CH_SESSION_ID_DATA[30]
char CH_CHALLENGE_DATA[30]
char CH_OFFSET[2]

So the sub version, is not that crucial and as you seen in your finding,
can 
be set to anything you desire.

\x80\x62 = Length
\x01 = CLIENT_HELLO
\x02\xbd = Version 2.189 (what?)
...

So can we conclude that this is actually PCT v2?

And what we are overflowing is a mis-allocated buffer? (malloc 98 bytes 
followed by a malloc that is much bigger :) ).


------------------------------------------------

Ami, you are probably correct about the PCT V2 CLIENT HELLO labeling.
It's probably a typo...

I doubt that it is a PCT v2 message (or even PCT v1) because 
what you have after 0x02bd does not match the PCT protocol.
You are suppose to have the SESSION ID DATA, which is 32/30
bytes long. It's not there in the exploits....

In my initial posting I did not provide all of the info...
For example, the VERSION's MSB could also be 0 while
the LSB is any number except 1 (e.g., 0x0004, 0x0010, etc).
What's even more intersting is that version field could
be set to SSLv2 (0x0002)!!! I intend to post a new PoC
for this vulnerability that will look very different from
the exploit we've seen so far. It won't be caught by 
the Snort's PCT signature either. 

Stay tuned...

Kyle
