Title: GLD (Greylisting daemon for Postfix) multiple vulnerabilities.
0x01. Description
About:
Gld is a standalone greylisting server for Postfix.
Greylisting is a new weapon to use against spam. For more information on
this technique, see http://www.greylisting.org.
This implementation listens on a TCP port and uses MySQL for storing data.
The server supports whitelists based on sender, sender domain and client IP.
It also supports light greylisting.
URL: http://www.gasmi.net/gld.html
Reference URL: http://www.gasmi.net/down/gld-readme
It's using in FreeBSD port and gentoo, debian.

The program has plenty of remote vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities can be used remote user to gain root privilege.
#1) Multi-oveflow vulnerability
This problem happens because of abuse of strcpy() and sprintf() functions
`/gid-1.4/server.c':
--
...
195 int HandleChild(int s,config *cnf)
196 {
197 char buff[BLEN];
198 char request[BLEN];
199 char sender[BLEN];
200 char recipient[BLEN];
201 char ip[BLEN];
...
301 if(strcmp(request,REQ)!=0 || recipient[0]==0 || ip[0]==0)
302 {
303 sprintf(buff,"Received invalid data req=(%s) sender=(%s) recipient=(%s) ip=(%s)",request,sender,recipient,ip); // here
304 if(cnf->syslog==1) ErrorLog(cnf,buff);
305 if(cnf->debug==1) printf("%d: %s\n",pid,buff);
306 return(-2);
307 }
...
--
Remote overflow exploit can be happened by sprintf() and it allows attacker to gain root privilege.
#2) remote format string -
These vulnerabilities are very easy to be exploited.
gld.conf is supporting syslog() function basically.
Thereby, with problem in next code, it's possible to gain root privilege.
`/gld-1.4/cnf.c':
--
...
117 void ErrorLog(config *conf,char *msg)
118 {
119 #ifdef HAVE_SYSLOG_H
120 openlog("gld",0,conf->facility);
121 syslog(LOG_ALERT,msg); // here
122 closelog();
123 #endif
124 }
...
--
It happens by illegal use of syslog() function.
--
bash-2.04# cat *.c |grep ErrorLog |grep -v void
if(conf.syslog==1) ErrorLog(&conf,"gld started, up and running");
if(cid < 0 && conf.syslog==1) ErrorLog(&conf,"Fork returned error code, no child");
ErrorLog(cnf,buff);
if(cnf->syslog==1) ErrorLog(cnf,"Read Network error");
if(cnf->syslog==1) ErrorLog(cnf,buff);
if(cnf->syslog==1) ErrorLog(cnf,"MySQL error");
bash-2.04#
--
It can be exploited pretty easily.
And there are alot more sprintf(), strcpy() function overflow vulnerabilities which are not mentioned.
0x02. Vulnerable Packages

0x03. Exploit
I made this exploit in RedHat Linux 7.x and 9.x by Proof of Concept code.
There is no plan to develop other platform code.

These days, the main issue that strikes Korea is small rocky island "Dokdo".
You can get more detailed information from following websites.
"Japanese goverment has to follow and learn from German goverment"
I can confidently say "Dokdo is belong to Korea".
(1) reference
1) Their claim that the East Sea has some historical precedent worked,
as some major book and map publishers, educational web sites and other
reference materials now include the East Sea name along with the Sea of Japan.
- worldatlas.com-
http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/asia/eastsea.htm
2) On historical perspective and in international law, why there
is no valid dispute over the ownership of Dokdo.

3) Truth in scholarship
