Stratsec Security Advisory: SS-2010-006 
===============================================================================

Title:           Netware SMB Remote Stack Overflow 
Version:         1.0
Issue type:      Stack Overflow
Affected vendor: Novell
Release date:    17/06/2010
Discovered by:   Laurent Gaffié
Issue status:    Patch available

===============================================================================

Summary
-------

A vulnerability exists in the Netware CIFS.NLM driver which allows an attacker 
to trigger a kernel stack overflow by sending a specific 'Sessions Setup AndX' 
query. Successful exploitation of this issue will result in remote code 
execution with kernel privileges. Failed attempts may result in a remote denial
of service.


Description
-----------
The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, also known as Common Internet File 
System (CIFS) acts as an application-layer protocol to provide shared access
to files, printers and Inter-Process Communication (IPC). It is also a transport
for Distributed Computing Environment / Remote Procedure Call (DCE / RPC) 
operations.After negotiating a SMB communication the client sends a 
'Session Setup AndX' packet to negotiate a session, to be able to connect on a
specific share. By sending a specially crafted request packet containing a long
'AccountName' value, it is possible trigger a kernel stack overflow.


Impact
------

A remote attacker may be able to remotely execute code with kernel privileges
on affected Netware systems. Failed attempts will result in a denial of service.


Affected products
-----------------

Netware version 6.5 SP8 and prior.

## chained Session Setup Andx, tree connect command, field = username, basic stack overflow.

s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(host) 
s.send(''.join(packetnego))
s.send(''.join(packetsession))
print "done !"
