From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050719 Fedora/1.7.10-1.5.1 Description of problem: prozilla 1.3.7.3 has a remotely exploitable buffer overflow, as described in <http://www.securiteam.com/exploits/5WP082KEUW.html>. This is due to overflows of fixed-sized buffers in the HTTP redirection code. This is fixed in prozilla 1.3.7.4. Changes in 1.3.7.4, from its NEWS file: "* Support for downloading files > 2GB. * Fix a remotely exploitable format string security bug. * Fix bugs in the handling of bad command-line options. Previously prozilla would return the success status code, even though it failed. Now it returns failure. * Fix a segfault. This occurred when prozilla could not assemble a file due to lack of disk space and the user chose to abort the operation. * Fix some typos." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): prozilla-1.3.7.3-2 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a special account for running the test. I called this account "victim". prozilla will be run from this and will be exploited. 2. Build and run the exploit code from the Securiteam advisory. This runs a fake web server. 3. Connect to the fake webserver. 4. See prozilla has been exploited. Actual Results: Worked on FC3 on i386. Didn't seem to work on FC3 on x86_64, but that may just have been lucky. Additional info:
Built, pushing later today
This is CAN-2005-0523
