Monkey HTTPD Denial of Service
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://monkeyd.sourceforge.net/> Monkey is a Web server written in C
that works under Linux. This is an open source project based on the
HTTP/1.1 protocol."
The sending of a sequence of crafted HTTP requests leads to the freeze of
the web server.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Monkey HTTPD versions 0.8.1
Immune Systems:
* Monkey HTTPD versions 0.8.2
The problem is located in the function get_real_string(). A malicious user
can cause the server to DoS by issuing an HTTP GET request in the form of
"GET /%%%%%%%%%%%% HTTP/1.0" for about 20 times.
Vendor Status:
The vulnerability was fixed in version 0.8.2 which can be downloaded from
the vendor's site.
Exploit Code:
Below is an exploit code for both Windows and Linux. The source code
requires winerr.h which is also given below.
