Vulnerability Type:
===================
Buffer Overflow



CVE Reference:
==============
N/A



Vulnerability Details:
=========================
Git Windows SVN ssh-agent.exe is vulnerable to buffer overflow. Under cmd dir in Git there is
start-ssh-agent.cmd file used to invoke ssh-agent.exe. This is local attack vector in which if
the "start-ssh-agent.cmd" file is replaced with specially crafted malicious '.cmd' file we cause buffer overflow, code execution may become possible.

Fault module seems to be msys-1.0.dll

POC code(s):
===============

Python script below to create a malicious 'start-ssh-agent.cmd' file that will be renamed
to 'ssh_agent_hell.cmd' and moved to the Git/bin directory, once run will cause buffer overflow and overwrite EIP.

Save following as ssh-agent-eip.py or whatever, run the script to generate a new malicious '.cmd' file and run it!
