Microsoft Jet Engine MDB File Parsing Stack Overflow
Vulnerability

http://ruder.cdut.net

Summary:

A remote code execute vulnerability exists in Microsoft Jet
Engine. A remote attacker who successfully exploit this
vulnerability
can execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Affected Software Versions:

Microsoft Office Access 2003 sp3 on Windows XP SP2(chinese)
(Other versions may also be affected)

Details:

When Microsoft Office Access parsing a MDB file, it will call
the
Jet Engine (msjet40.dll) to parse it. See the attched file
"Microsoft_Jet_Engine_MDB_File_Parsing_Exploit.mdb", it
will cause a
stack overflow vulnerability finally in the following codes:

(C:WindowsSystem32msjet40.dll, version is 4.0.8618.0)

.text:1B0B72BB mov ecx, edx ;
ecx=0x5200
.text:1B0B72BD mov esi, edi ; esi
point
to the datas
.text:1B0B72BF mov ebp, ecx ;
which
can be find in the mdb file
.text:1B0B72C1 lea edi, [esp+40h] ; edi
point
to stack memory
.text:1B0B72C5 shr ecx, 2
.text:1B0B72C8 rep movsd ;
stack overflow!!
.text:1B0B72CA mov ecx, ebp
.text:1B0B72CC mov eax, [eax+1]
.text:1B0B72CF and ecx, 3
.text:1B0B72D2 rep movsb

The length of 0x5200 is enough to make us to write datas to the
address where the SEH handle pointer is, so that we can rewrite
the
SEH handle. I use following address to jump to shellcode:

1B0D4C42 FF55 0C call dword ptr [ebp+C]

This address is also in msjet40.dll, so it can bypass the
security
feature of SEH in Windows XP SP2, and [ebp+0Ch] happens to point
to
the source data.

Related content in the attached file
"Microsoft_Jet_Engine_MDB_File_Parsing_Exploit.mdb" is
from the offset
0x3336 of beginning of the file.

Notice that because the vulnerability is in the Jet Engine, some
web space providers may also be affected, the attacker can upload
the
.asp and .mdb file, and exploit it via the Server Object
"ADODB.Connection".

How to Reproduce:

Open the attached file
"Microsoft_Jet_Engine_MDB_File_Parsing_Exploit.mdb"
with Office Access
2003 sp3 on Windows XP SP2, then "calc.exe" will be
executed, please
do not use the exploit for attacking.

Vendor Response:

Microsoft replied me that they would not fix this vulnerability,
it looks like they will not acknowledge vulnerabilities which are
from
.mdb file.
