Description:
Matthew Murphy has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Monit, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A boundary error within the handling of "Basic Authentication" requests can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long username (more than 256 bytes). This may allow execution of arbitrary code with "root" privileges.
2) A NULL pointer dereference error within the handling of "Basic Authentication" requests can be exploited to crash the service if a password hasn't been supplied.
3) An off-by-one error within the handling of POST requests can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a POST request, which is exactly 1,024 bytes. This may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code on a vulnerable system with "root" privileges.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in Stable releases 4.2 and prior and Beta releases 4.3 Beta 2 and prior.
