Hello,
There are two non-exploitable format string bugs in wuftpd 2.6.1.
ftpd.c:6272
if (debug) {
char *s = calloc(128 + strlen(remoteident), sizeof(char));
if (s) {
int i = ntohs(pasv_addr.sin_port);
sprintf(s, "PASV port %i assigned to %s", i, remoteident);
/* here */ syslog(LOG_DEBUG, s);
free(s);
}
}
ftpd.c:6288
if (debug) {
char *s = calloc(128 + strlen(remoteident), sizeof(char));
if (s) {
sprintf(s, "PASV port assignment assigned for %s", remoteident);
/* here */ syslog(LOG_DEBUG, s);
free(s);
}
}
Example:
riget:venglin:~> tail -n1 /etc/hosts
212.182.115.2 riget%p%p%p%p%p%p%p%p%p%p.scene.pl riget
riget:venglin:~> tail -n2 /var/log/debug
Jan 8 14:28:03 riget ftpd[53990]: command: pasv^M
Jan 8 14:28:03 riget ftpd[53990]: PASV port 17355 assigned to riget0xbfbff1640x80536440x807c2000x8066c210x43cb0x80791000xe0x5c0x960x28085000.scene.pl [212.182.115.2]
