Summary

Buffer overflow in (1) BitTorrent 6.0 and earlier; and (2) uTorrent 1.7.5 and earlier, and 1.8-alpha-7834 and earlier in the 1.8.x series; on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long Unicode string representing a client version identifier.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 27321 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2008-0364 BitTorrent和uTorrent都是流行的bittorrent协议客户端，使用了相同的代码库。 BitTorrent和uTorrent的实现上存在缓冲区溢出漏洞，远程攻击者可能利用此漏洞控制用户客户端。 BitTorrent和uTorrent客户端都在General部分中启用了Detailed Info窗口，用于报告有关所使用的torrent和tracker的状态信息。在General同一窗口中的Peers部分显示有关所连接客户端的信息，如共享torrent使用率、IP地址等。当用户查看这个窗口的时候，会通过wcscpy函数将所连接客户端软件版本的unicode字符串拷贝到相对静态的缓冲区，以便在GUI中显示。如果该字符串超长的话，就可能触发缓冲区溢出，导致拒绝服务或执行任意指令如果要利用这个漏洞，外部攻击者必须要连接到客户端所打开的随机端口，然后发送当前所使用torrent的超长客户端版本和SHA1哈希。 BitTorrent BitTorrent <= 6.0 (build 5535) BitTorrent uTorrent <= 1.8-alpha-7834 BitTorrent uTorrent <= 1.7.5 (build 4602) BitTorrent ---------- 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题，请到厂商的主页下载： <a href=http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.6/utorrent.exe target=_blank>http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.6/utorrent.exe</a>
