Remote CVS <= 1.11.15 exploit for the error_prog_name double free vuln.

The Vulnerability lies in the serve_argumentx function. The Argumentx command parameter is used to append data to a previously supplied Argument command. These data pointers are stored in the argument_vector array. The serve_argumentx fails to check whether an Argument command is present in the argument_vector and may append data to a pointer that should not get touched at all, in our case the *error_prog_name string. The function calls realloc to create space for the new string. Because realloc will be called to store strlen(error_prog_name) + strlen(somedata) the original chunk which just stores error_prog_name will get freed. This free chunk will once again get freed after we disconnect from the CVS pserver.

/* Remote CVS <= 1.11.15 exploit for the error_prog_name double free vuln. 
* 
* by Gyan Chawdhary, gunnu45@hotmail.com 
* 
* Vulnerability Description: 
* 
* The Vulnerability lies in the serve_argumentx function. The Argumentx 
command 
* parameter is used to append data to a previously supplied Argument 
command. 
* These data pointers are stored in the argument_vector array. The 
* serve_argumentx fails to check wether an Argument command is present in 
the 
* argument_vector and may append data to a pointer that should not get 
* touched at all, in our case the *error_prog_name string. The function 
calls 
* realloc to create space for the new string. Because realloc will be called 
* to store strlen(error_prog_name) + strlen(somedata) the original chunk 
which 
* just stores error_prog_name will get freed. This free chunk will once 
again 
* get freed after we disconnect from the CVS pserver. 
* 
* Theory: 
* 
* Sucessful exploitation depends heavily on a specific heap layout to be 
met. 
* The argument_vector is initialized for holding 3 ptrs. If more space is 
* required it will call realloc. The error_prog_name string resides right 
* after the argument_vector chunk. 
* 
* |11| arg_vector |11| error_prog_name |109| some chunk 
* 
* address of error_prog_name is stored in the argument_vector[0]. 
* 
* To achive sucessfull exploitation the following steps are performed. 
* 
* 1) Send Argumentx command with a large argument to reallocate 
error_prog_name 
* + large command on top of the heap. This will free the original 
* error_prog_name buffer. 
* 
* 2) Send 50 Argument calls which will require the argument_vector array to 
be 
* reallocated freeing the current buffer. We keep this a high number to get 
* mem from the top itself and to make the exploit reliable. As both the 
* original the arg_vector & err_prg_name buffers are free they are 
* consolidated. Also we supply our fake chunk and shellcode in this call. 
* 
* 3) Send an argument command with the size & prevsize as its arguments. 
This 
* will now be stored in arg_vector & err_prg_name consolidated buffer. 
* 
* 4) Once we close the connection free will be called on the error_prog_name 
* string which will read our fake size & prev_size fields pointing to the 
fake 
* chunk , executing our shellcode. 
* 
* Phew !!!! 
* 
* NOTES: Iv tried this exp on RH 8 with glibc 2.3.*. This exp did NOT work 
on 
* my slack 8.0 cause of glibc 2.2 which creates a very different heap 
layout. 
* Also some tweaking will be required to use this exploit remotely as 
sometimes 
* the overwritten GOT does not execute due to early drop in the connection 
.. 
* Please someone figure it out n mail me :) .. 
* 
* Now the exploit
