2) Bugs
=======


The following are only Denial of Service vulnerabilities and there are
for sure some others but sincerely who cares?
Just for quick reference...


A]
--
Endless loop affecting all the services that use the TCP protocol so
snabase.exe on port 1478, all the snalink.exe on their dynamic ports,
snaservr.exe, mngagent.exe and so on.
The cause is "word[packet] - 2" that forces the continuous parsing of
the same data.


Instead the following bugs affect only the UDP protocol used in
snabase.exe listening on the port 1478.
When this service terminates also the others depending by it like
snalink and msngagent will terminate.

the crash is caused by the tentative of accessing the unallocated
memory located after the packet of max 0x1ee bytes.

an UDP packet longer than 0x1ee bytes blocks the receiving of any
other UDP packet.

exception and terminates.


I]
--
The opcode 0x02 allows to use an arbitrary MessageId argument in
FormatMessage causing the crash through the values 0x11 and 0x26:
_snwprintf(buffer, buffer_size, "%hs", (char *)9);


J]
--
memcmp crash caused by the accessing of unallocated memory after the
packet.


K (maybe)]
----------
snabase allows to start an existent service and even passing
parameters to it through a packet with opcode 0x04.
normally this is not an issue because the server runs with an
unprivileged user (if you assign Administrator as "Service
credential" the configurator of the installer will ask for
confirmation) and as far as I know the HIS services don't use
arguments.
anyway in some particular conditions or if have been used the
Administrator credentials this feature may be "interesting".

3) The Code
===========


http://aluigi.org/poc/snabase_1.zip
http://www.exploit-db.com/sploits/17159.zip

A]
nc SERVER PORT < snabase_1a.dat

others]
nc SERVER 1478 -u < snabase_1?.dat

Note that the pre-built packet files use the fixed destination name
VBOX so change the string in the packets accordingly with the real
target machine or domain name.
Note that snabase_1k.dat must be customized to work: service name,
optional arguments and remember to change at least one char of the
string at offset 3 each time or the packet will be ignored if it
contains the same string of the previous one.
