The function which handles the base64 password located in the HTTP Authorization parameter is affected by a stack based buffer-overflow exploitable with more than 256 bytes. The server can be exploited both in case it requires and doesn't require authentication. ----------------------- B] SMPP buffer-overflow ----------------------- NowSMS uses a stack buffer of 4 kilobytes for containing the incoming SMPP packets. The lack of checks on the real size of these packets (max 0xffffffff bytes) leads to a buffer-overflow vulnerability which can be exploited by an attacker to execute malicious code remotely. The SMPP server is not enabled by default and doesn't have a default listening port (the admin must decide it). ####################################################################### =========== 3) The Code =========== http://aluigi.org/poc/nowsmsz.zip ####################################################################### ====== 4) Fix ====== No fix #######################################################################
