SIA International Security Advisory - Badblue HTTP Server, ext.dll buffer
overflow

* Release DAte:
February 26, 2005

* Vendor:  
Working Resources Inc. http://www.badblue.com

* Versions Affected:
Confirmed under Badblue HTTP Server v2.55

* Severity: 
Critical  (Remote Code execution)

* Summary:
"BadBlue is not only a server, it's a complete file sharing system that is
simply easier and faster to use than anything else. Why? Because BadBlue
lets you use a tool you already know well: a web browser."
"In seconds, you can turn your PC into a powerful web server. You can easily
share photos, music, videos, and much more. With its simple menu-driven
interface and pop-up wizards to guide you through setup, there's no faster
way to share files"

* Technical Details:
SIA has discovered a buffer overflow in EXT.DLL, a module that handles
badblue http Requests. This buffer overflow triggers when an special crafted
HTTP Request is created.
Buffer overflow in EXT.DLL is triggered when a malicious http request that
contains a long mfcisapicommand  parameter, with more than 250 chars, is
submitted. Some registers are overwritten so its possible to execute code or
cause a denial of service shutting down the server. The Following request
can be used to crash the remote server.

GET /ext.dll?mfcisapicommand=AAA...[250 chars]...AAA&page=index.htx

Windbg trace:
(360.21c): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.

Succesfully exploitation of this flaw could allow remote code execution with
Administrator rigths.
