How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability exists in the FUN_004904c8 function of the cgitest.cgi file. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by controlling the environment variable value CONTENT_LENGTH, causing a null pointer dereference. This can lead to the program crashing, thereby potentially causing a denial-of-service attack or even a system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Below is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This pseudocode demonstrates altering the CONTENT_LENGTH environment variable.
#!/bin/bash
export CONTENT_LENGTH=99999999999
./cgitest.cgiPlease note that this is a conceptual example and real-world exploitation might require additional steps or specific conditions.
Solution
For mitigation, it is recommended to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. As a temporary mitigation, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). These systems can help identify and block potential exploit attempts.
