Summary

The Trace Events functionality in the kernel in Microsoft Windows XP SP3 does not properly perform type conversion, which causes integer truncation and insufficient memory allocation and triggers a buffer overflow, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, related to WmiTraceMessageVa, aka "Windows Kernel Integer Truncation Vulnerability."

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: 46136 CVE ID: CVE-2011-0045 Windows是微软发布的非常流行的操作系统。 Windows Kernel在实现上存在本地权限提升漏洞,攻击者可利用此漏洞以内核级别权限执行任意代码,从而完全控制受影响计算机。 此漏洞源于Kernel对跟踪事件的支持。由于畸形转换,Kernel为用户空间中的数据分配使用截断的长度。在填充此缓冲区时,Kernel将使用造成缓冲区溢出的另一个长度。这将造成内存破坏并导致执行任意代码。 Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP3 Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP2 Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP1 Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3 0 Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2 Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP1 Microsoft Windows XP Professional Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP1 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Microsoft Windows XP Home SP3 Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2 Microsoft Windows XP Home SP1 Microsoft Windows XP Home Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition SP1 Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition SP1 Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition 厂商补丁: Microsoft --------- 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: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/default.asp
