This lists DSiWare that might have vulnerabilities, like strcpy or sprintf from savedata. If you know of DSiWare that has English-only string(high-scores, player name, high-scores that use username from system settings, etc) input, mention it on IRC EFNet #dsidev. Or contact yellowstar 6 at gmail dot com.

DSiWare savedata is extracted and modified with these tools: https://github.com/neimod/dsi

For these lists status "None" means code reversing engineering for the DSiWare wasn't started. Status "Started" means code reversing engineering for that DSiWare was started. Status "Done" means code reverse engineering was finished.

DSiWare that can be crashed

Name Input type(s) Status Description
Dark Void Zero High-Scores Done No limit on length of drawn record names, no vuln with high-scores. The level var from savedata doesn't have any bounds check, this is used with array indexes. This is not exploitable since the array structs only contain char* strings and other fields, and that var is used with level class init. Level class init fail is most likely the cause of the crash which isn't exploitable, level paths are determined by if statements and the level object is used uninitialized when the level var is out-of-bounds.
Frogger Returns High-scores Started Has ASCII null-terminated high-scores. Manged to crash this game. The high-score draw function uses strcpy to copy the records' name to a static buffer, it's unknown if this is exploitable.

DSiWare with incomplete analysis

Name Input type(s) Status Description
Bookworm High-scores and word list None Has ASCII null-terminated high-score list names and null-terminated word list strings.
Escapee Go None None Has high-scores without names, scores are ASCII null-terminated strings.
Legends of Exidia Player name None Has ASCII player name in one file, and UCS-2 player name in a profile file.

DSiWare with finished analysis

Name Input type(s) Description
Arcade Hoops Basketball High-Scores, names via settings Has ASCII high-scores with null terminated strings, no string bugs.
Dracula No manual input Savedata contains ASCII high-scores from DSi username, and ASCII perks/powerups. High-scores doesn't have string bugs.
