Summary

The Trend Micro AntiVirus scan engine before 8.550-1001, as used in Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2007, and Tmxpflt.sys 8.320.1004 and 8.500.0.1002, has weak permissions (Everyone:Write) for the \\.\Tmfilter device, which allows local users to send arbitrary content to the device via the IOCTL functionality. NOTE: this can be leveraged for privilege escalation by exploiting a buffer overflow in the handler for IOCTL 0xa0284403.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

descriptionBUGTRAQ ID: 26209 CVE(CAN) ID: CVE-2007-4277 Trend Micro病毒扫描引擎为桌面、服务器和网关提供杀毒功能。 Trend Micro病毒扫描引擎的驱动实现上存在多个安全漏洞，本地攻击者可能利用此漏洞提升权限。 Trend Micro的杀毒引擎中所捆绑的Tmxpflt.sys驱动中没有对\\.\Tmfilter DOS设备接口设置安全的权限，允许Everyone写访问，因此任何本地登录的用户都可以访问仅有特权用户才可以访问的功能。 此外这个DOS设备接口的IOCTL 0xa0284403处理程序在将用户提供的内容拷贝到固定大小的缓冲区时没有执行长度验证，因此可能触发缓冲区溢出，导致在内核环境中执行攻击者所提供的代码。 Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 Trend Micro Tmxpflt.sys 8.500.0.1002 Trend Micro Tmxpflt.sys 8.320.1004 临时解决方法： * 删除Everyone的写访问权限。 厂商补丁： Trend Micro ----------- 目前厂商已经发布了升级补丁以修复这个安全问题，请到厂商的主页下载： <a href="http://www.trendmicro.com" target="_blank">http://www.trendmicro.com</a>
