Overview: Microsoft Biztalk Server is a Microsoft product for business-process automation and application-integration both within and between businesses. BizTalk Server provides a powerful Web-based development and execution environment that integrates loosely coupled, long-running business processes, both within and between companies. BizTalk Server features include integration among existing applications; the definition of document specifications and specification transformations; and the monitoring and logging of run-time activity. The server provides a standard gateway for sending and receiving documents across the Internet, as well as providing a range of services that ensure data integrity, delivery, security, and support for the BizTalk Framework and other key document formats. BizTalk Server 2002 provides the ability to exchange documents using the HTTP format. A buffer overflow exists in the component used to receive HTTP documents - the HTTP receiver - and could result in an attacker being able to execute code of their choice on the BizTalk Server. Details: An HTTP receive function is an Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extension that provides an "out-of-the-box" utility for immediately receiving documents over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The ISAPI is named BizTalkHTTPReceive.dll. By submiting a HTTP request with an overly long string as query string parameter a buffer overflow ocurrs: POST /Site/biztalkhttpreceive.dll?XXXX...(more than 250 chars) HTTP/1.0 Accept: */* User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Host: servername Content-Length: <Data submited length> Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive Pragma: no-cache <...Data submited...> This vulnerability can be directly exploited by an attacker if he has enough permissions (this will depends on web server configuration), if the attacker hasn't enough permissions he can exploit it through XSS or sending an administrator an HTML e-mail, etc. targeting the vulnerable server. Depending on the Windows user account configured to run COM+ Applications under for the vulnerable site (the user account configured always must have access to BizTalk Messaging Management database and the COM+ packages BizTalk Server Interchange Application and BizTalk Server Internal Utility), explotation of this vulnerability will allow an attacker to complete compromise OS and/or Biztalk Server files and databases. Workaround: Remove BizTalkHTTPReceive.dll ISAPI if you are using HTTP receive function and use another receive functions like Message Queuing receive function or file receive function. Vendor Status : Microsoft was contacted on 02/14/03, we work together and Microsoft released a fix.
