     ~ http://www.coresecurity.com/corelabs/ ~ Anzio Web Print Object Buffer Overflow
     *Advisory Information* Title: Anzio Web Print Object Buffer Overflow
     Advisory ID: CORE-2008-0624
     Advisory URL:
     http://www.coresecurity.com/content/anzio-web-print-object-buffer-overflow
     Date published: 2008-08-20
     Date of last update: 2008-08-20
     Vendors contacted: Anzio
     Release mode: Coordinated release
     *Vulnerability Information* Class: Buffer overflow
     Remotely Exploitable: Yes (client side)
     Locally Exploitable: No
     Bugtraq ID: 30545
     CVE Name: CVE-2008-3480
     *Vulnerability Description* Anzio Web Print Object (WePO) is a Windows ActiveX web page component
     that, when placed on a web page can "push" a print job from a file or
     web server to a user's local printer without having to display the HTML
     equivalent to that user. By placing WePO code on a web page, you can
     provide a method whereby the viewer of that web page can request a local
     print of a host resident print job, archived print job or a report
     stream through a server-side script request. Anzio Web Print Object is vulnerable to a buffer overflow attack, which
     can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, by
     providing a malicious web page with a long "mainurl" parameter for the
     WePO ActiveX component.
     *Vulnerable Packages* . Anzio Web Print Object 3.2.19
     . Anzio Web Print Object 3.2.24
     . Anzio Print Wizard Server Edition 3.2.19
     . Anzio Print Wizard Personal Edition 3.2.19
     . Older versions are probably affected too, but were not checked.
     *Non-vulnerable Packages* . Anzio Web Print Object 3.2.30
     *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds* Update to Anzio Web Print Object 3.2.30, available at
     http://www.anzio.com/download-wepo.htm, or visit the vendor homepage at
     http://www.anzio.com.
     *Credits* This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Francisco Falcon
     from Core Security Technologies.
     *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code* The WePO ActiveX component has a parameter named "mainurl" that
     indicates the local file name or the URL from where to retrieve the
     content to print: /----------- <param name="mainurl" value="http://www.somewhere.com/myreport.pcl"> - -----------/ WePO takes the value of "mainurl" parameter in OLECHAR format and
     transforms it to a BSTR string using the API SysAllocStringLen from
     oleaut32.dll. The pointer to a BSTR string returned by SysAllocStringLen
     is stored in the stack. /----------- 024F64B8 . 51 PUSH ECX
     ~ ; length of "mainurl" value
     024F64B9 . 52 PUSH EDX
     ~ ; pointer to "mainurl" value
     024F64BA . E8 4DB0FFFF CALL JMP.oleaut32.SysAllocStringLen

     024F64C8 . 8902 MOV DWORD PTR DS:[EDX],EAX
     ~ ; ;Save BSTR pointer to stack
     024F64CA > C3 RETN - -----------/ After that, it copies "mainurl" value in ASCII format to a buffer on the
     stack, without validating its length. /----------- 024F300C /$ 56 PUSH ESI
     024F300D |. 57 PUSH EDI
     024F300E |. 89C6 MOV ESI,EAX

     024F3028 |. 5F POP EDI
     024F3029 |. 5E POP ESI
     024F302A |. C3 RETN - -----------/ By supplying a web page with a long "mainurl" value, an attacker can
     overflow the stack buffer mentioned above and overwrite the SEH
     (Structured Exception Handler), enabling arbitrary code execution on the
     machine that has the WePO ActiveX component installed. The Structured
     Exception Handler can be overwritten by providing a "mainurl" value with
     396 bytes as padding, plus 4 specially chosen bytes that will replace
     the original SEH, allowing execution of arbitrary code with the
     privileges of the current user. When providing such a long string as value for the "mainurl" parameter,
     an access violation exception is generated when WePO object calls the
     API SysFreeString to deallocate the BSTR string that was previously
     created with SysAllocStringLen. The exception raises because the
     original pointer to the BSTR string was replaced with 4 junk bytes from
     the 396 padding bytes mentioned above. /----------- 024F5E98 |. 50 PUSH EAX
     024F5E99 |. 52 PUSH EDX
     ~ ; junk, should be pointer to BSTR string
     024F5E9A |. E8 7DB6FFFF CALL JMP.oleaut32.SysFreeString - -----------/ At this point, the Structured Exception Handler is already controlled by
     the attacker, so when exception raises the execution is transferred to
     an arbitrary memory address chosen by the person providing the malicious
     web page. By adding JavaScript code in the malicious web page, the attacker can
     use a technique called Heap Spray, that fills the heap of the browser
     process with his payload, and then jump to the arbitrary code located in
     the process heap. The following Python code will generate an HTML file that, when opened
     on a machine with Web Print Object installed, will launch the Windows
     Calculator as a proof of the possibility to execute arbitrary code on a
     machine that has the vulnerable ActiveX component installed. This Proof
     of Concept was tested in Windows XP Professional SP2 with Internet
     Explorer 6.0.2900.2180, and Windows XP Professional SP3 with Internet
     Explorer 6.0.2900.3264, but can be easily modified to work in other
     platforms. /----------- malicioushtml = open('WePO-PoC.html','w')
