Eggdrop is a bot written in C. It is hi=
ghly configurable
and can be easily expandeded with TCL scripts. It is w=
idely used in almost every
IRC Network.
Eggdrop can be downloaded from:=

http://www.eggheads.org

Description:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A vulnerability has been discovered in share.mod modu=
le provided with eggdrop
sources.
A tricky attacker can gain the contro=
l over (almost) any eggdrop botnet.
the bug rely in the fact that every =
legitimate bot can gain share status even if it
is not marked to share w=
ith someone.


Issue Details:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D
share.mod use tandem buffers to handle userfile resync transfers. ta=
ndem buffers
are checked
minutely by check_expired_tbufs() in order to =
flush tandem buffers older than 15
minutes
(resync_time). check_expired=
_tbufs() accomplish also to handle userfile requests
in limbo
(that ha=
ven't received yet any response from tandem bot). While doing those
chec=
ks the
programmer has left out some parentheses and the worst has happen=
ed:
Here the incriminated snip:

for (i =3D 0; i < dcc_total; i++)=0D
=
if (dcc[i].type->flags & DCT_BOT) {
if (dcc[i].status & STAT_O=
FFERED) {
if (now - dcc[i].timeval > 120) {
if (dcc[i].user && (bot=
_flags(dcc[i].user) & BOT_AGGRESSIVE))
dprintf(i, "s u?\n");
/*=
^ send it again in case they missed it */
}
/* If it's a share bot t=
hat hasnt been sharing, ask again */
} else if (!(dcc[i].status & =
STAT_SHARE)) {

------- /* Bug now every bot gain the STAT_OFFERED stat=
us. */
if (dcc[i].user && (bot_flags(dcc[i].user) & BOT_AGGRESSIVE))=0D
=
dprintf(i, "s u?\n");
dcc[i].status |=3D STAT_OFFERED;
------- /* e=
of Bug */

}
}

As we can see, every non sharebot gain STA=
T_OFFERED status, minutely.

the next step is to gain STAT_SHARE.. we u=
se share_ufyes().
That function doesn't STAT_SHARE check, just STAT_OFFE=
RED.

static void share_ufyes(int idx, char *par)
{
if (dcc[idx].st=
atus & STAT_OFFERED) {
dcc[idx].status &=3D ~STAT_OFFERED;
dcc[=
idx].status |=3D STAT_SHARE;
dcc[idx].status |=3D STAT_SENDING;
=
uf_features_parse(idx, par);
start_sending_users(idx);
putlog(=
LOG_BOTS, "*", "Sending user file send request to %s",
dcc[idx].nick=
);
}
}


bingo!
the bot is now completely recognized as a sharebo=
t and we can adduser..
deluser.. chattr..


Notes:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Two bots directly linked, at the moment of link, s=
hare a password (handshake)
but probably two bots not directly linked wi=
ll not. So can be possible to fake a
real bot simply telnetting the bot=
port and pressing enter .

Where did you notify eggheads? I seem to be blind while looking for it.

>Thankfully resync sharing is considered broken and most people do not

that's not exactly true; yes, many people don't use resync, but..

char *share_start(Function *global_funcs)
{
.....................
add_hook(HOOK_SHAREIN, (Function) sharein_mod);
add_hook(HOOK_MINUTELY, (Function) check_expired_tbufs);
^^^^^^^^^
add_hook(HOOK_READ_USERFILE, (Function) hook_read_userfile);
.....................
}

the function, however, is called minutely, so the bug exists also if resync
is disabled.
As in previous mail has been already said, check_expired_tbufs() first
check for timed out resync buffers, then, "accomplish to handle userfile
requests in limbo (that haven't received yet any response from tandem bot)".

>Where did you notify eggheads? I seem to be blind while looking for it.

We've notified you at bugs@eggheads.org; in a private e-mail i''ve sent to
you the response we received.


With respect,
