Subject: [CVE-2013-6356] Avira Secure Backup v1.0.0.1
Multiple Registry Key Value Parsing Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
RCE Security Advisory
http://www.rcesecurity.com
1. ADVISORY INFORMATION
-----------------------
Product: Avira Secure Backup
Vendor URL: www.avira.com
Type: Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of
a Memory Buffer [CWE-119]
Date found: 2013-10-30
Date published: 2013-11-16
CVSSv2 Score: 4,4 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVE: CVE-2013-6356
2. CREDITS
----------
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Julien Ahrens from
RCE Security.
3. VERSIONS AFFECTED
--------------------
Avira Secure Backup v1.0.0.1 Build 3616
4. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION
----------------------------
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in Avira Secure
Backup v1.0.0.1 Build 3616.
The application loads the values of the Registry Keys
"AutoUpdateDownloadFilename" and "AutoUpdateProgressFilename" from
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Avira Secure Backup" on startup but does not
properly validate the length of the fetched values before using them in
the further application context, which leads to a buffer overflow
condition with possible persistent code execution.
The application queries the values via a RegQueryValueExW call and a
fixed buffer pointer (lpData) and a fixed buffer size pointer
(lpcbData). If the input string size is greater than the predefined
size, the application uses a second RegQueryValueExW call with the new
buffer size set to the length of the input string, but reuses the
original buffer pointer (lpData), which has not been resized. This
results in overwriting memory space inlcuding SEH - records.
An attacker needs to force the victim to import an arbitrary .reg file
in order to exploit the vulnerability. Successful exploits can allow
attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the application. Failed exploits will result in a
denial-of-service condition. The attack scenario is persistent, because
the code is executed as long as the manipulated values are loaded into
the Registry.
