  Kojoney DoS

From:nicob_(at)_nicob.net <nicob_(at)_nicob.net>
Date:25.02.2010
Subject:Kojoney (SSH honeypot) remote DoS


[=] Affected software :

       Name : Kojoney
       Description : Low interaction SSH honeypot
       Version : < 0.0.4.2
       Service : TCP/22

[=] Patched version :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kojoney/files/kojoney-0.0.4.2.tar.gz/download

[=] Technical details :

Emulation of the wget and curl commands is made via calls to
urllib.urlopen(url). The only sanity check is the following :

       if url.find("://") == -1:
               url = "http://" + url

This will catch some attempts to access local files like
"file:/etc/hosts" but requesting "file://localhost/foo/bar" is still
possible.

Under Linux, this can be used to access "file://localhost/dev/urandom".
The kojoney.py process will then use 100% of CPU and will grow in
memory, until killed by the kernel OOM Killer.

[=] Note :

When exploiting urlopen() related vulnerabilities in Python
applications, some little known features can come handy :

data://,HelloWorld
=> returned value is "HelloWorld"

data:text;base64,
WDVPIVAlQEFQWzRcUFpYNTQoUF4pN0NDKTd9JEVJQ0FSLVNUQU5EQVJELUFOVElWSVJVUy1URVNULUZJT
EUhJEgrSCo=://a
=> returned value is the EICAR test string

And yes, these strings too bypass the "://" Kojoney check ;-)
