1. Advisory Information
Title: Ophcrack 3.6 Local Stack Based Buffer Overflow
Advisory URL: https://osandamalith.com/2013/12/28/ophcrack-local-stack-based-buffer-overflow
Date published: 2013-12-29
Vendors contacted: OBJECTIF SÉCURITÉ
Release mode: User release
2. Vulnerability Information
Class: Buffer Overflow [CWE-119]
Impact: Code Execution
Remotely Exploitable: No
Locally Exploitable: Yes
CVE Name: N/A
3. Summary
Opcrack is a password cracker based on rainbow tables, a method that makes it possible to speed up the cracking process by using the result of calculations done in advance and stored rainbow tables.
4. Vulnerability Description
Ophcrack contains an overflow condition that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when passed via the ‘Host name:’, ‘Share:’, ‘User:’ fields. This may allow a local attacker to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. Failure to exploit this vulnerability may cause denial of service.
5. Vulnerable Packages
- 3.6
- Older Versions might be vulnerable as well, they were not tested
6. Credits
This bug was researched and proof of concept exploit by Osanda Malith Jayathissa.
7. Proof of Concept / Technical Details
The EIP register is overwritten by our supplied arbitrary buffer.

This exploit is super lame, as no user is going to paste 1000 characters
of text into the textbox, however it could potentially be used for
privilege escalation. It was still a fun learning exercise.
”’
”’
To exploit this bug open Ophcrack -> Click Load -> Remote SAM
There are three fields "Host name:", "Share:", "User:"
All three fields are vulnerable. I have made this exploit to work on those 3 fields.
Copy the contents written to the file into the specific field you selected and click ok.
