/* Advisory from Luigi Auriemma
 * CVE-2007-6682 / format string in VideoLAN VLC 0.8.6d
 *
 * Description :
 * Format string vulnerability in the httpd_FileCallBack
 * function (network/httpd.c) in VideoLAN VLC 0.8.6d allows
 * remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format
 * string specifiers in the Connection parameter.
 */

/* La faille n'a d'interet que dans un but d'apprentissage
 * d'une technique avance d'exploitation des chaines de
 * format.
 *
 * Toute la difficulte de l'exploitation est liee au fait
 * que la chaine de format se trouve dans un thread, et
 * la pile remplie avec des adresses du tas.
 * On est donc oblige d'utiliser la technique dite de
 * "l'ebp chaining".
 *
 * On pardonnera le manque de proprete et de portabilite,
 * defauts qui sont expliques et corriges durant son
 * utilisation sur la plateforme de tutoriaux de
 * l'Epitech Security Laboratory.
