Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2006-02-16
Patch Published: 2006-03-13
CVE [?]: CVE-2006-0460
CPE [?]: cpe:/o:debian:debian_linux:3.1, p-cpe:/a:debian:debian_linux:bomberclone

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Stefan Cornelius of Gentoo Security discovered that bomberclone, a free Bomberman-like game, crashes when receiving overly long error packets, which may also allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the bomberclone package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain bomberclone packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.11.5-1sarge1.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the Debian DSA-997-1 : bomberclone - buffer overflows vulnerability:

  1. Metasploit: exploit/windows/misc/bomberclone_overflow
    [Bomberclone 0.11.6 Buffer Overflow]
  2. Exploit-DB: exploits/multiple/remote/1602.c
    [EDB-1602: BomberClone < 0.11.6.2 - Error Messages Remote Buffer Overflow]
  3. Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/16433.rb
    [EDB-16433: BomberClone 0.11.6 - Remote Buffer Overflow (Metasploit)]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Debian DSA-997-1 : bomberclone - buffer overflows as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

  1. Click to start a New Scan.
  2. Select Advanced Scan.
  3. Navigate to the Plugins tab.
  4. On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
  5. On the left side table select Debian Local Security Checks plugin family.
  6. On the right side table select Debian DSA-997-1 : bomberclone - buffer overflows plugin ID 22863.
  7. Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
  8. Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl debian_DSA-997.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a debian_DSA-997.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - debian_DSA-997.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state debian_DSA-997.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
