Subject: Remotely exploitable b/o/f in Apache+mod_mylo


There exists a remotely exploitable buffer overflow in the mod_mylo module for 
apache. 

It is a relatively obscure MySQL logging module for Apache that appears not to 
be in widespread use at present. However, it is present in the FreeBSD ports 
collection so may affect FreeBSD slighly more than Linux systems.

Advisory + exploit attached.

Regards,
Carl

Problem Description:

 Mod_mylo is an Apache module designed to log HTTP requests to a MySQL
 database.

 Insufficient bounds checking on a buffer in the logging section of the
 code could allow a remote attacker to overwrite saved data on the stack
 and execute commands under the privileges of the Apache daemon user,
 typically 'www'.

 This software is so unpopular it probably only affects a handful of
 users. The main category of people affected will probably be those that
 have FreeBSD and mod_mylo installed from the ports collection.

________________________________________________________________________

Problem Details:

 In the main logging function, mylo_log(), there is a buffer on the
 stack called reqstr:

   char query[MYLO_MAXQLEN], reqstr[MYLO_MAXQLEN];

 This is poulated by a call to mysql_real_escape_string():

   mysql_real_escape_string(connection, reqstr, r->the_request,
                                 strlen(r->the_request));

 The upper length of data to be placed into reqstr[] is determined by
 the length of the HTTP request, not the length of the reqstr[] buffer.
 Thus, it is possible to construct a large HTTP request containing some
 shellcode and a malicious RET address, overwrite the saved EIP and
 execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the Apache user.

 A exploit string would generally be sent to port 80 of the target box
 and would look like this:

   GET AAAAAAA(4104 A's[linux] / 4096 A's[freeBSD])RRRRPPPP

 Where RRRR is a malicious EIP and PPPP is the address of a pointer
 to an Apache request_rec structure that _must_ be valid in order for
 the exploit to succeed. The pointer needs to be reconstructed because
 overwriting EIP sets the least significat 8-bits of the pointer to
 NULL. The address of this pointer can be brute-forced without much
 trouble.

Vendor notification timeline:

 17 July 2003: Notified author
 19 July 2003: Author responded to say fix will be out in 1 week
 28 July 2003: New package tested and available.

_______________________________________________________________________

Updated Packages:

 Fixed, non-vulnerable version of the module is available from:

 	http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~oyving/code/mod_mylo/

 Versions >= 0.2.2 are not vulnerable, all others are exploitable.
