Remote Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability in UFO: Alien Invasion
--------------------------------------------------------------------
June 18th, 2010
=======
Summary
=======
Name: Remote Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerability in UFO: Alien Invasion
Release Date: June 18th, 2010
Discoverer: Jason Geffner
Version Affected: UFO: Alien Invasion 2.2.1
(version previous to UFO: Alien Invasion 2.2.1 not tested)
Risk: Very High
Status: Published
============
Introduction
============
This paper discusses how an unprivileged remote attacker can execute arbitrary
code on networked players' computers. This vulnerability was responsibly
disclosed to the UFO: Alien Invasion project leader and this advisory was not
released until a stable fixed build of the game was released.
==========
Background
==========
"UFO: Alien Invasion is an open source strategy video game in which the player
fights aliens that are trying to take control of the Earth. The game is heavily
influenced by the X-COM series (mostly by UFO: Enemy Unknown). It is based on a
modified id Tech 2 engine, and runs on Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X
for both PPC and Intel Macs. UFO:AI has been nominated for 'Best project for
Gamers' in the Sourceforge 2007 and 2008 Community Choice Awards and was
positively noted by Linux Journal." [1]

Invasion project leader

=============
Vulnerability
=============
The IRC client component of UFO: Alien Invasion 2.2.1 contains multiple
security vulnerabilities that allow a malicious IRC server to remotely execute
arbitrary code on the client's system. There are numerous ways that an attacker
could cause a player to connect to a malicious server, for example:
- Perform a man-in-the-middle attack to inject IRC server responses into the
TCP stream.
- Use DNS poisoning to redirect the player's client from the real
irc.freenode.org server to the attacker's malicious server.
- Use the in-game "rcon" functionality against a server to remotely issue the
command "irc_connect <attacker's server>" (passwords for rcon can be
brute-forced and/or sniffed over the network since they're sent in
plaintext).
- Use social engineering to convince a player to press ~ and type "irc_connect
<attacker's server>".
There are numerous buffer overflow vulnerabilities that can be exploited in the
IRC client component. The following vulnerability can be exploited in a single
packet:
The Irc_Proto_ParseServerMsg(...) function parses server messages of up to 1024
bytes in length and writes to an irc_server_msg_t structure. This structure's
last field is a 512-byte string buffer. A malformed server response can cause
Irc_Proto_ParseServerMsg(...) to write past the end of the irc_server_msg_t
structure and overwrite the return address for Irc_Logic_ReadMessages(...).
=======
Exploit
=======
See below for a proof-of-concept exploit packet for UFO: Alien Invasion 2.2.1
for Windows. The payload will launch "mspaint.exe" and terminate the UFO: Alien
Invasion process.
