HTMLDOC ‘html’ File Handling Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Exploit (Linux)
This exploit is for HTMLDOC 1.8.27 on Debian 5.0 (+ASLR). It is a remote stack buffer overflow exploit which creates a buffer of 512 bytes and then appends the shellcode to it. The shellcode is XOR encoded and binds a port 4444. The exploit is written in C language and is coded by Pankaj Kohli. The exploit file is written to sploit.html and is run as htmldoc -f somefile.pdf sploit.html.
Mitigation:
The user should update to the latest version of HTMLDOC and should also use a firewall to block port 4444.
