| description | ### Summary A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the .ISO parsing functionality of PowerISO 6.8. A specially crafted .ISO file can cause a vulnerability resulting in potential code execution. An attacker can send a specific .ISO file to trigger this vulnerability. ### Tested Versions PowerISO 6.8 (6, 8, 0, 0) ### Product URLs http://poweriso.com ### CVSSv3 Score 8.8 - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H ### Details This vulnerability can be triggered by providing a specially crafted .ISO file and opening it with PowerISO software. ``` .text:0001BD5A loc_1BD5A: ; CODE XREF: bug_proc+88j .text:0001BD5A mov eax, [esi+0CCh] .text:0001BD60 mov ecx, ds:65CB0Ch .text:0001BD66 cmp eax, ecx .text:0001BD68 jge short loc_1BD83 .text:0001BD6A mov ecx, [esp+1Ch+arg_C] .text:0001BD6E mov edx, [esp+1Ch+arg_8] .text:0001BD72 push ebx .text:0001BD73 push ecx .text:0001BD74 push edx .text:0001BD75 lea eax, [eax+eax*8] .text:0001BD78 push edi .text:0001BD79 push esi .text:0001BD7A call dword ptr ds:65C834h[eax*4] .text:0001BD81 jmp short loc_1BDA3 ``` The Instruction at 0x0001BD5A loads a pointer to EAX register from a memory region that was already freed at this point. This pointer after multiplication at 0x0001BD75 is later used as an operand of call instruction at 0x001BD7A. The use of previously-freed memory can have any number of adverse consequences, ranging from the corruption of valid data to the execution of arbitrary code, depending on the instantiation and timing of the flaw. The simplest way data corruption may occur involves the system's reuse of the freed memory. ### Crash Information ``` 0:000:x86> !analyze -v ******************************************************************************* * * * Exception Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* FAULTING_IP: image00000000_00400000+1bd7a 0041bd7a ff148534c86500 call dword ptr image00000000_00400000+0x25c834 (0065c834)[eax*4] EXCEPTION_RECORD: ffffffffffffffff -- (.exr 0xffffffffffffffff) ExceptionAddress: 000000000041bd7a (image00000000_00400000+0x000000000001bd7a) ExceptionCode: c0000005 (Access violation) ExceptionFlags: 00000000 NumberParameters: 2 Parameter[0]: 0000000000000000 Parameter[1]: 00000000da01a1ac Attempt to read from address 00000000da01a1ac CONTEXT: 0000000000000000 -- (.cxr 0x0;r) eax=f666f65e ebx=00000010 ecx=02e893f8 edx=00000000 esi=059f0048 edi=00000010 eip=0041bd7a esp=0019e958 ebp=feeefeee iopl=0 nv up ei ng nz na po nc cs=0023 ss=002b ds=002b es=002b fs=0053 gs=002b efl=00010282 image00000000_00400000+0x1bd7a: 0041bd7a ff148534c86500 call dword ptr image00000000_00400000+0x25c834 (0065c834)[eax*4] ds:002b:da01a1ac=????????
