Apache chunked (gobbles) exploit on OpenBSD 3.1

Hey guys, just a simple question for you all. I just recently installed OpenBSD 3.1
on my home network. I obtained the apache chunked encoding vulnerability aka gobbles
from packetstorm and ran it against my OpenBSD 3.1 host from another node on my small home
network.

My attacking host is 192.168.0.1 and my OpenBSD box is 192.168.0.4

Here is the packet payload just for clarity.

Now the problem is this. From the information I have gathered, this exploit should work on a default
install of OpenBSD 3.1, so im wondering why the exploit failed. I downloaded OpenBSD 3.1 from
their ftp server, so perhaps the vulnerabilty is patched? I also have 2 other questions

1. as you can see, near the end of the packet paylod, you can see the shell trying to be executed, but shouldent it be /bin/sh not /sh.h/bin? Is that just the way snort(1.8.6) saw the payload? i guess what im saying here is do i have to edit the shellcode to execute /bin/sh instead of sh.h/bin
you know, to "skript kiddie proof" it?

2. If thats not the case, is the downloadable version of 3.1 patched for this vulnerability?
its strange because OpenBSD http's reports segfaults and does indeed crash.


Here is some of the process listings and apache error messages from the vulnerable? OpenBSD box

You can see the Crashed (Zombie) httpd processes, and also here is the /usr/apache/log/error_log
and access_log

as you can see httpd indeed does crash, which leads me to believe that
the 3.1 that I downloaded via ftp from openbsd.org was not patched, but anyway
I could not spawn a shell on my attacking box and I was curious as to why thats all.

Well if you downloaded from the .../OpenBSD/3.1/ dir on the ftp server you should have the plain release of 3.1 (.../OpenBSD/snapshots/ on the otherhand are "in-between releases" of -current)

As for why the exploit doesn't work (or doesn't seem to), I couldn't say for sure (it's been a while already since the exploit came out...). I haven't played with the exploit myself, but if I remember right, the gobbles exploit didn't do it for everyone: something to do with the default offset... your best bet would be to search the [email protected] archives

I was wondering if you guys could help me compile the apache-scalp.c code, I an new to coding in unix. I've attemped the " make apache-scalp.c " but obviously more syntax is needed, & I an unfamiliar with Emacs. Can someone please walk me through compiling this code? Thanks

and you expect me to think your more than just a script kiddie a wanna be at that.

Well, slackwarelinux

i agree on it being /bin/sh so I think somewhere something must have gone wrong.

but I never tried ne of the packetstorm stuff myself.

gcc -c scalp.c -o ./scalp_run -Fukin A, you guys need to get laid - head over to tommys-bookmarks and cuff one off

Well thanks for the advice, MDMAZER0. I personaly like thehun better ;)
and wow you found out how to compile a c program in the unix enviroment (although I wouldn't do it as stated above, but hey, that's just me)

I've looked into the gobbles and didn't seem to get it to work, but then again, I didn't realy try.. Good luck slackwarelinux

Sorry guy - that was dirrected at Tedob1 - we need less Flameing in theses forums and more dispersal of knowledge, its a sad world when one simple question like "how can I do this..." or "I'm new to this... can you help? bla bla bla" will get you tossed in a mix. Should I bow down at your 1500 posts in awe, or your leet hacking skills? Do I claim to be a hacker or a script-kiddie ? Neither - rather I am a simply a student asking a simple question. Exploring someone else's code, in a closed enviornment for the fun of it or what ever I please. Why don't you think about some of the **** in your obviously troubled mind before it hits the key board. have a nice day.
