Proof of Concept for CVE-2014-3466 (GnuTLS buffer overflow: session id length check)

Information

See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101932

This is not a weaponized exploit.

be warned: this python code is ugly, I pretty much handcrafted the ServerHello and spent only about ~~five~~ fifteen minutes on the python part itself.

feel free to improve this exploit as you wish (keep me in the loop if possible!).

Example

start the listener with the malicious ServerHello code:

$ python poc.py 4433

connect with a client linked to a vulnerable version of GnuTLS (e.g. wget on Debian):

$ ldd $(which wget) 
...
	libnettle.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnettle.so.4 (0x00007fa8a026e000)
	libgnutls.so.28 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgnutls.so.28 (0x00007fa89ff5c000)
...
