NeoEngine Multiple Vulnerabilities (Format String, DoS)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
" <http://www.neoengine.org/> NeoEngine is an Open Source 3D game engine,
currently available in two flavors"
Improper handling of user input allows attackers to execute arbitrary code
using a Format string, and to crash NeoEngine.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* NeoEngine version 0.8.2
* NeoEngine version CVS 3422
Format String:
The visualization functions used in NeoEngine are affected by some format
string vulnerabilities caused by the absence of the format argument:
From neoengine/console.cpp:bool Console::Render( Frustum *pkFrustum, bool bForce )
...
m_pkFont->Printf( m_iX + m_iWidth - 2, m_iY + iHeight,
strCmd.c_str() );
...
m_pkFont->Printf( m_iX + 4, m_iY + iHeight, strCmd.c_str() );
...
From neowtk/textarea.cpp:bool TextArea::Render( Frustum *pkFrustum, bool bForce )
...
if( !m_bPassword )
m_pkFont->Printf( kPos.x + m_kPadding.x, kPos.y +
m_kPadding.y, m_strText.c_str() );
else
m_pkFont->Printf( kPos.x + m_kPadding.x, kPos.y +
m_kPadding.y, string( m_strText.length(), '*' ).c_str() );
DoS:
It's possible to crash the engine through a too big uiMessageLength value
(32 bit number) which causes the assignment of a NULL pointer to the
pucMessage pointer and the subsequent reading from the socket without
verifying the return value.
From neonet/core.cpp:void Core::Receive()
...
unsigned int uiMessageLength;
...
if ( pkTCPSocket->Read( &uiMessageLength, sizeof( unsigned int ) ) <=
0 )
...
char *pucMessage;
pucMessage = ( char* )malloc( uiMessageLength + 1 );
if ( uiMessageLength > 0 )
{
pkTCPSocket->Read( pucMessage, uiMessageLength );
}
pucMessage[ uiMessageLength ] = 0;
Message *pkMessage = pkMessageTemplate->Deserialize( string(
pucMessage, uiMessageLength ) );
free( pucMessage );
