Trend Micro OfficeScan Session Cookie Buffer Overflow Vulnerability iDefense Security Advisory 07.16.07 http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ Jul 16, 2007 I. BACKGROUND Trend Micro OfficeScan is a centrally managed AntiVirus solution that allows administrators to manage virus and spyware protection in business environments. More information can be found on the vendors site at the following URL. http://us.trendmicro.com/us/products/enterprise/officescan-client-server-edition/ II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Trend Micro Inc.'s OfficeScan for Windows could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the IIS Web User. The OfficeScan installation includes a series of CGI executables that are used for configuration through the Web interface. A shared library, CGIOCommon.dll, is used by many of these binaries to access environment variables passed to them from the parent IIS process. If a malicious Web request is made for a vulnerable binary, including an overly long session cookie, a stack-based Unicode buffer overflow will occur. III. ANALYSIS Exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the IIS Web user. Exploitation does not require authentication. While the IIS Web user account is a limited account, this attack could be used to conduct further privilege escalation attacks. IV. DETECTION iDefense has confirmed this vulnerability in OfficeScan 7.3 with all current patches applied. Testing has shown that this attack can be conducted by requesting multiple CGI binaries that make use of the shared library. Other versions are suspected to be vulnerable. V. WORKAROUND iDefense is currently unaware of any workaround for this issue. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE Trend Micro has addressed this vulnerability by releasing the following patches for affected products.
