SP Research Labs Advisory x12
-----------------------------

BNBT BitTorrent Tracker Denial Of Service
-----------------------------------------

Versions:
cbtt75_20040515
Beta 7.5 Release 2 and prior versions

Vendors:  
http://bnbt.go-dedicated.com/
http://bnbteasytracker.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bnbtusermods/

Date Released - 5.21.2004

------------------------------------
Product Description from the vendor:

BNBT was written by Trevor Hogan. BNBT is a complete port of the original 
Python BitTorrent tracker to 
C++ for speed and efficiency. BNBT also offers many additional features beyond 
the original Python 
BitTorrent tracker, plus it's easy to use and customizable. BNBT is covered 
under the GNU Lesser 
General Public License (LGPL).

--------
Details:

A specifically crafted HTTP GET request which contains 'Authorization: Basic 
A==' will cause the BNBT 
server to crash. It may be possible to execute arbitrary code. Previous 
versions are also affected by 
this vulnerability.  The bug is located in util.cpp in the Util_DecodeHTTPAuth 
function. 

--------
Exploit:

Attached to this advisory is very basic PoC code which only causes the BNBT 
server to crash.

--------------
Tested on: 
WindowsXP SP1

peace out,
