# Exploit Author: Juan Sacco <[email protected]> at KPN Red Team -

# Tested on: GNU/Linux - Kali 2017.1 Release
#
# Description: MAWK ( AWK Interpreter ) 1.3.3-17 and prior is prone to
a stack-based buffer overflow
# vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate
boundary-checks on user-supplied input.
#
# Program affected: mawk is an interpreter for the AWK Programming
Language. The AWK language is useful
# for manipulation of data files, text retrieval and processing, and
for prototyping and experimenting with algorithms.
#
# An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the
# context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a
# denial-of-service condition.
