Description:

This service implements a parser and pretty printer for a Type-Length-Value protocol known as ASL6. ASL6 is commonly used amongst retro online-chat enthusiasts who desire an easy to exchange basic information about themselves to eachother such as age,gender,or geographic location.

Feature List

This service simply reads a ASL6 element up to 32KB in size and pretty prints its contents back the the user. It is able to handle a variety of complex datetypes such as time and object identifiers.

Vulnerability

This service's vulnerability lies in the print_oid function. This function parsers and prints the OID element type according to the format defined in the ASL6 protocol. The function both fails to do a required bounds check on the index into the array containing the OID data after it is updated and to correctly pass an upper bounds on a slice into the data to a corresponding helper function. These flaws in conjuction result in an out of bounds read.

Generic class of vulnerability

Out-of-bounds Read

CWE classification

CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read

Challenges

The challanges introducted to competitors in this service are a slightly complicated protocol which the competitors must adhere to in order to progress through the states of the servic, a variety of integrity checks inherent to the encoding scheme to which they also must adhere.
