// GtkFtpd 1.0.4 Remote Root Buffer Overflow Exploit

/**********************************************************
 * [ gtkftpd[v1.0.4(and below)]: remote root buffer overflow exploit. ]
 * 
 * by: vade79/v9 v9 at fakehalo.deadpig.org (fakehalo/realhalo) 
 * 
 * Url: 
 * http://gtkftpd.sourceforge.net/ 
 * 
 * GtkFtpd, versions v1.0.4 and below(as of this time), contain a 
 * remotely exploitable buffer overflow. the overflow occurs when 
 * GtkFtpd allocates the appropriate amount of memory to hold a 
 * filename or directory(256 bytes), but does not account for the 
 * date/user/stat prefix(~40 bytes) it prepends to the buffer. 
 * 
 * When exploited, things are made easier due to the fact that 
 * GtkFtpd does not chroot() or drop its root privileges(as are 
 * required to run the program itself) while running. And one step 
 * more easier because when the buffer is overflown it is in a child 
 * process, making it possible to brute force(not crash). 
 * 
 * Requirements to exploit: 
 * - A valid account. (user/pass, anonymous will do) 
 * - A writable directory. (usually gtkftpd makes any dir writable) 
 * 
 * Usage: 
 * # cc xgtkftpd.c -o xgtkftpd 
 * # ./xgtkftpd [-Psupcbanrd] -h hostname 
 * *
 * Exploit workings(ftp commands): 
 * MKDIR <large name/causes overflow> 
 * LIST -<shellcode> (where the overflow occurs) 
 * 
 * The exploitable code itself is found in src/sys_cmd.c: 
 * 12:#define BUF_SIZE 256 
 * 21:char buf[BUF_SIZE]; 
 * 57:sprintf(buf, "%s\t%s", perm_date_siz, entr->d_name); 
 * 
 * Note: 
 * Make sure the directory used to "LIST" does not already contain 
 * any large filenames or directories, as the first overly long one 
 * to list will cause the overflow. (which will fail the exploit) 
 * *
 * (should work out of the box on generic linux, tested on rh7.1. 
 * squished, un-tab'd, un-space'd, exploit code; just how i like it.)
