Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
Claymoreas Dual GPU Miner 10.5 and below is vulnerable to a format
strings vulnerability. This allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to
read memory addresses, or immediately terminate the mining process
causing a denial of service.
1) By sending a custom request to the json api on port 3333 of the
remote management service it's possible to leak stack addresses and
possibly rewrite stack addresses with %p. I wasn't able to break out of
the json padding but someone else may be able to as %s also dumps string
contents.
example - echo -e '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"1.0","method":"%x %x %x %x"}' | nc
192.168.1.139 3333 & printf "\n".
2) Sending %n to the json api on port 3333 immediately kills the mining
process.
example - echo -e '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"1.0","method":"%n"}' | nc
192.168.1.139 3333 & printf "\n".
