Message-ID: <D52FCFAE57472647956CBAEDC08DA55301836575@av-mail01.corp.int-eeye.com> Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:35:23 -0700 From: "eEye Advisories" <eEyeAdvisories@...e.com> To: <bugtraq@...urityfocus.com> Subject: EEYE: CA BrightStor ArcServe Backup Server Arbitrary Pointer Dereference CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Server Arbitrary Pointer Dereference Release Date: October 11, 2007 Date Reported: June 18, 2007 Severity: High (Remote Code Execution) Vendor: Computer Associates (CA) Systems Affected: BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.5 BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.1 BrightStor ARCserve Backup 11.0 BrightStor ARCserve Backup 10.5 BrightStor ARCserve Backup 9.01 Overview: eEye Digital Security has discovered a remote vulnerability in CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup Server that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM without any user interaction. The exploit is extremely reliable and can be successfully delivered either across the internet or within local networks via a random TCP port that is disclosed by the BrightStor portmapper service on TCP/111. Technical Details: A remote vulnerability lies within Queue.dll (Version 11.5.4402.15 and prior) when handling a malformed ONRPC protocol request sent to CA BrightStor's ARCserve Backup message queuing service, LQserver.exe. BrightStor uses a protocol similar to a simplified version of RPC called ONCRPC (Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Calls) and is described in the following RFCs: 1831, 1833, and 1832. This vulnerability is only achieved by calling operation 0x76 (Data Queue Request) under the process id of 0x0006097d (LQserver.exe's unique Proc ID). After initiating this procedure, LQServer.exe then calls the vulnerable DLL file, Queue.dll. This procedure inadvertently processes user supplied data and then references that data as variables without any form of sanitation of verification. This is demonstrated below: <lqserver.exe> 100161B0 MOV EDX,DWORD PTR DS:[ECX+4] ; Move Arbitrary Pointer #2 into EDX 100161B3 PUSH EDX ; Push Arbitrary Pointer #2 onto the Stack 100161B4 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+8] ; Move (0x0113F8A8 the address to Arbitrary ; Pointer #1) into EAX 100161B7 MOV ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[EAX] ; Move Arbitrary Pointer #1 into ECX 100161B9 PUSH ECX ; Push Arbitrary Pointer #1 onto the Stack 100161BA CALL QUEUE.10012816 ; CALL Vulnerable DLL ... <queue.dll> 1001281C CMP DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+8],0 ; EBP + 8 points to Arbitrary Pointer #1 - This makes ; sure our pointer isn't NULL. 10012820 JNZ SHORT QUEUE.10012829 ; Since our pointer isn't NULL we jump 10012829 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+8] ; Load Arbitrary Pointer #1 into EAX 1001282C MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-4],EAX ; Write Arbitrary Pointer into EBP-4 (0x00D39618) 1001282F CMP DWORD PTR DS:[10037884],0 ; This checks for an error message field - NULL ; signifies 'The operation completed successfully' 10012836 JE SHORT QUEUE.10012870 ; Jump is taken 10012870 MOV EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP+C] ; Move Arbitrary Pointer #2 into EAX 10012873 PUSH EAX ; Push Arbitrary Pointer #2 onto the stack 10012874 PUSH QUEUE.10037884 ; Push NULL 10012879 MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-4] ; Move Arbitrary Pointer #1 into ECX 1001287C MOV EDX,DWORD PTR DS:[ECX] ; Move Arbitrary Pointer #1 into EDX 1001287E MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-4] ; Move Arbitrary Pointer #1 into ECX 10012881 CALL DWORD PTR DS:[EDX] ; Call Arbitrary Pointer #1 At this point Arbitrary Pointer #1 is referenced and called by Queue.dll, which can then in turn can reference Arbitrary Pointer #2. After referencing Arbitrary Pointer #2, an attacker can completely control code execution and redirect Queue.dll to execute to their own payload. After exploitation, LQserver.exe crashes and must be manually restarted by the "CA Domain Server" service. Protection: Blink - Unified Client Security has proactively protected from these vulnerabilities since their discovery. Retina - Network Security Scanner has been updated to identify these vulnerabilities. Vendor Status: Computer Associates released patches for these vulnerabilities.
