Message-ID: <5671AC28.3020808@securify.nl> Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 19:23:36 +0100 From: "Securify B.V." <lists@...urify.nl> To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com Subject: Event Viewer Snapin multiple DLL side loading vulnerabilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Event Viewer Snapin multiple DLL side loading vulnerabilities ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yorick Koster, August 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Multiple DLL side loading vulnerabilities were found in the Event Viewer Snapin that ships with Windows. These issues can be exploited by loading various COM components as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating vulnerable object Windows will try to load the DLL elsext.dll from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ See also ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2015-6132 https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS15-132 http://www.greyhathacker.net/docs/OfficeDLLhijacking.zip https://code.google.com/p/google-security-research/issues/detail?id=514 https://securify.nl/blog/SFY20151201/there_s_a_party_in_ole__and_you_are_invited.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tested versions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This issue was successfully verified on Windows 7 + Office 2007 32-bit, Windows Vista + Office 2010 32-bit, Windows 7 + Office 2013 32-bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fix ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Microsoft released MS15-132 that fixes this vulnerability. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Details ------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.securify.nl/advisory/SFY20150805/event_viewer_snapin_multiple_dll_side_loading_vulnerabilities.html
