Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Remote Manager Heap Overflow
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
Novell Open Enterprise Server is "a secure, highly available suite of
services that provides proven networking, communication, collaboration and
application services in an open, easy-to-deploy environment".
Improper input validation allows attackers to cause a buffer overflow and
execute arbitrary code on Novell SuSE Linux.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
The vulnerability specifically exists due to improper handling of a an
HTTP POST request with a negative Content-Length parameter. When such a
request is received, controllable heap corruption occurs which can lead to
the execution of arbitrary code using traditional Linux heap overflow
methods. The following HTTP request can be used to trigger this
vulnerability.
POST / HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: -900
DATA_THAT_WILL_BE_USED_TO_OVERWRITE_THE_HEAP
With careful manipulation of the string, an arbitrary 4 byte write may be
achieved which can be used to gain execution control and execute arbitrary
code.
