VU#456745: ActiveX controls built with Microsoft ATL fail to properly handle initialization data

Vulnerability Note VU#456745

ActiveX controls built with Microsoft ATL fail to properly handle initialization data

Overview

ActiveX controls that are built using a Microsoft ATL template may fail to properly handle initialization data, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

I. Description

Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) is a set of C++ classes that are designed to simplify the creation of COM objects and ActiveX controls. An ActiveX control can be designated as "safe for scripting," which means that it can be used by an untrusted caller such as JavaScript in a web page, and/or it may be designated as "safe for initialization," which means that it can accept untrusted initialization data. ActiveX controls that are developed using the Microsoft ATL technology may fail to properly handle initialization data. The specific vulnerabilities include the use of uninitialized objects, unsafe usage of OleLoadFromStream, and the failure to check for a terminating NULL character. This may result in memory corruption that can be leveraged to execute code, or it may bypass Internet Explorer kill bit restrictions on unsafe controls.

II. Impact

By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.

III. Solution

Apply an update

This vulnerability has been addressed in the update for Internet Explorer provided in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-034. This update helps prevent ActiveX controls that were built with the vulnerable ATL versions from being initialized with unsafe data patterns in Internet Explorer. This also includes techniques that can be used to bypass the kill bit in Internet Explorer.





Update and recompile ActiveX controls



Developers who have created ActiveX controls using Microsoft ATL should install the update for Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-035 and recompile the ActiveX controls. This will cause the controls to use an updated ATL version that addresses these vulnerabilities.



Disable ActiveX



Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this and other ActiveX vulnerabilities. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone can be found in the "Securing Your Web Browser" document.

VU#180513: Microsoft Video ActiveX control stack buffer overflow

Vulnerability Note VU#180513

Microsoft Video ActiveX control stack buffer overflow

Overview

The Microsoft Video ActiveX control contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

I. Description

Microsoft Windows comes with an ActiveX component called "ActiveX control for streaming video," which is provided by msvidctl.dll. This component provides a number of Class Identifiers (CLSIDs) that are marked as Safe for Scripting and Safe for Initialization, which means that they can be used by Internet Explorer. The ActiveX controls provided by msvidctl.dll fail to properly handle file input, which can result in stack memory corruption. This can allow the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) to be overwritten, thus allowing subversion of the program execution flow.

II. Impact

By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.

III. Solution

We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Please consider the following workarounds.

Disable the vulnerable ActiveX controls



Microsoft Security Advisory (972890) explains how to disable the 45 ActiveX controls provided by msvidctl.dll to mitigate this vulnerability. A Microsoft Fix it application is provided in Microsoft Knowledgebase article 972890 to disable these controls.



Disable ActiveX



Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this and other ActiveX vulnerabilities. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone can be found in the "Securing Your Web Browser" document.

VU#180513: Microsoft Video ActiveX control stack buffer overflow

Vulnerability Note VU#180513

Microsoft Video ActiveX control stack buffer overflow

Overview

The Microsoft Video ActiveX control contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

I. Description

Microsoft Windows comes with an ActiveX component called "ActiveX control for streaming video," which is provided by msvidctl.dll. This component provides a number of Class Identifiers (CLSIDs) that are marked as Safe for Scripting and Safe for Initialization, which means that they can be used by Internet Explorer. The ActiveX controls provided by msvidctl.dll fail to properly handle file input, which can result in stack memory corruption. This can allow the Structured Exception Handler (SEH) to be overwritten, thus allowing subversion of the program execution flow.

II. Impact

By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.

III. Solution

We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. Please consider the following workarounds.

Disable the vulnerable ActiveX controls



Microsoft Security Advisory (972890) explains how to disable the 45 ActiveX controls provided by msvidctl.dll to mitigate this vulnerability. A Microsoft Fix it application is provided in Microsoft Knowledgebase article 972890 to disable these controls.



Disable ActiveX



Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this and other ActiveX vulnerabilities. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone can be found in the "Securing Your Web Browser" document.
