      Ventrilo Denial of Service
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    " <http://www.ventrilo.com/> Ventrilo is a widely known and used VoIP
    software developed by Flagship Industries."

    Lack of proper packet handling within Ventrilo allow attackers to crash
    the program and cause a DoS.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Ventrilo version 2.3.0

    Other than the TCP port used for accepting clients the Ventrilo server
    binds also the same UDP port for handling the status requests sent by the
    people to get informations and details.

    The problem is in the code that controls the status queries, in fact
    exists a check for the handling of possible malformed data which
    interrupts the server when is received a packet with an amount of data
    lower than how much specified in the header of the query.
    For example a normal status query (command 1 with 16 bytes of data
    reported in the status header) that doesn't contain data is able to
    exploit this vulnerability.

    In the log file of the Windows servers will be dumped the following
    message:
    ERROR: ServerLoop exception detected. Aborting.

    On other platforms (tested Linux x86) happens a crash in free().

    Naturally is also possible to spoof the malformed packet for an anonymous
    exploiting of the bug.

    Ventrilo UDP status algorithm 0.1
    by Luigi Auriemma
    e-mail: aluigi at autistici.org
    web: http://aluigi.altervista.org

    INTRODUCTION
    -===========
    This algorithm is the method used by the chat program Ventrilo
    (http://www.ventrilo.com) for encoding the UDP packets used to get
    the status informations.

    FUNCTIONS
    -========
    struct ventrilo_udp_head
    void ventrilo_udp_head_dec(unsigned char *data)
    void ventrilo_udp_head_enc(unsigned char *data)
    void ventrilo_udp_data_dec(unsigned char *data, int len, unsigned short
    key)
    unsigned short ventrilo_udp_data_enc(unsigned char *data, int len)
    unsigned short ventrilo_udp_crc(unsigned char *data, int len)

    USAGE EXAMPLE
    -============
    Watch my "Ventrilo status retriever" code for a simple and practical
    example:
