mIRC Local Buffer Overflow (DDC Filter)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

<http://www.mirc.com/> mIRC is "a friendly IRC client that is well
equipped with options and tools". By filling a long string in the DDC
filter field, it is possible to trigger a buffer overflow in mIRC.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* mIRC 6.16,6.12,6.03 and 5.91

When adding/editing filters to locate the specified folder for the files
transfered by DCC (Tools >> Options >> DCC >> Folders), it is possible to
trigger a buffer overflow if the string used is greater or equal to 981
bytes. The application crash showing an memory error 0x0000.

The address in the exception shows the value of the second edit field
(0x0000 if it's empty). If we write AAAA in this field, the error it's
0x41414141, overwrite the eip and we can take the control and execute
arbitrary code.

At first look executing a shellcode appears to be difficult, since we only
can write 39 chars in the second edit box. This problem can be overcome by
filling: jmp esp + sub esp 0x74 + jmp esp. Using this method, the EIP it's
overwritten by the text in the first edit field, and in this allows 980
bytes for the shellcode.

The code executed are with current user privileges, anyway this bug could
be especially dangerous in universities, cybercafes, schools and any
location where user oriented restrictions/logon are enforced.
