Technical Analysis
The web server is a 32-bit, big-endian MIPS binary at /magicP/WebServer/webs.
The patch against the websSecurityHandler() function in webs is simplistic. If the cookie length is greater than the buffer size of 512 bytes, the function fails out:
char cookie[512]; /* snip */ if (wp->cookie != NULL) { cookie_len = strlen(wp->cookie); + if (512 < cookie_len) goto Fail; memset(cookie, 0, 512); strncpy(cookie, wp->cookie, cookie_len); cookie[cookie_len] = '\0'; }
The exploit mitigations on the binary are lacking:
RELRO STACK CANARY NX PIE RPATH RUNPATH Symbols FORTIFY Fortified Fortifiable FILE No RELRO No canary found NX disabled No PIE No RPATH No RUNPATH 1226) Symbols No 0 17 webs.unpatched
No additional mitigations were enabled in the patched version. Funny enough, the binary still has debug symbols.
Exploitability seems high on this one, given the complete lack of mitigations. That said, you would not be able to copy null bytes with strncpy(3).
