Technical Cyber Security Alert TA07-297B


Adobe Updates for Microsoft Windows URI Vulnerability

Original release date: October 24, 2007
Last revised: --
Source: US-CERT

Systems Affected

Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 systems with Internet
Explorer 7 and any of the following Adobe products:
* Adobe Reader 8.1 and earlier
* Adobe Acrobat Professional, 3D, and Standard 8.1 and earlier
* Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and earlier
* Adobe Acrobat Professional, 3D, Standard, and Elements 7.0.9 and
earlier

Overview

Adobe has released updates for the Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat
product families. The update addresses a URI handling vulnerability in
Microsoft Windows XP and Server 2003 systems with Internet Explorer 7.

I. Description

Installing Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 7 on Windows XP or Server
2003 changes the way Windows handles Uniform Resource Identifiers
(URIs). This change has introduced a flaw that can cause Windows to
incorrectly determine the appropriate handler for the protocol
specified in a URI. By creating a specially crafted URI in a PDF
document, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable
system. More information about this vulnerability is available in
US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#403150.

Public reports indicate that this vulnerability is being actively
exploited with malicious PDF files. Adobe has released Adobe Reader
8.1.1 and Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1, which mitigate this vulnerability.

II. Impact

By convincing a user to open a specially crafted PDF file, a remote,
unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary commands.

III. Solution

Apply an update

Adobe has released Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and Adobe Acrobat 8.1.1 to
address this issue. These Adobe products handle URIs in a way that
mitigates the vulnerability in Microsoft Windows.

Disable the mailto: URI in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat

If you are unable to install an updated version of the software, this
vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the mailto: URI handler in
Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. Please see Adobe Security Bulletin
APSB07-18 for details.

US-CERT Technical Cyber Security Alert TA07-297A -- RealNetworks RealPlayer ActiveX Playlist Buffer Overflow

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

National Cyber Alert System
Technical Cyber Security Alert TA07-297A


RealNetworks RealPlayer ActiveX Playlist Buffer Overflow

Original release date: October 24, 2007
Last revised: --
Source: US-CERT

Systems Affected

Windows systems with
* RealPlayer 11 beta
* RealPlayer 10.5
* RealPlayer 10
* RealOne Player v2
* RealOne Player

Overview

RealNetworks RealPlayer client for Microsoft Windows contains a stack
buffer overflow in the playlist paramater passed to the client by an
ActiveX control. This vulnerability could allow a remote,
unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code using a specially
crafted web page or HTML email message.

I. Description

RealNetworks RealPlayer is a multimedia application that allows users
to view local and remote audio and video content. RealPlayer for
Microsoft Windows includes the IERPCtl ActiveX control that can be
used with Internet Explorer to import a local file into a playlist.
RealPlayer does not adequately validate the playlist paramater passed
from the ActiveX control, resulting in stack buffer overflow
vulnerability. The IERPCtl ActiveX control is present in RealOne
Player and later versions.

RealNetworks has released a patch for this vulnerability as described
in RealPlayer Security Vulnerability. There are public reports that
this vulnerability is being actively exploited.

This vulnerability can be exploited using the IERPCtl ActiveX control,
which effectively means that only Windows Internet Explorer users are
affected. The ActiveX control was introduced in RealOne Player, so
Windows versions of RealPlayer 8 and earlier are not affected.
Mactintosh and Linux versions of RealPlayer are not affected.

II. Impact

By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document or HTML
mail message, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user on a vulnerable
system. Note that the RealPlayer software does not need to be running
for this vulnerability to be exploited.

For more information, please see US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#871673.

III. Solution

Upgrade and apply a patch

See RealPlayer Security Vulnerability for information about upgrading
and patching RealPlayer. RealPlayer 10.5 and RealPlayer 11 beta users
should install the patch specified in the RealNetworks document.
RealOne, RealOne Player v2, and RealPlayer 10 users should upgrade to
RealPlayer 10.5 or RealPlayer 11 beta and install the patch.

Disable the IERPCtl ActiveX control

Disable the IERPCtl AcctiveX control by setting the kill bit for the
following CLSID:
{FDC7A535-4070-4B92-A0EA-D9994BCC0DC5}

More information about how to set the kill bit is available in
Microsoft Support Document 240797. Alternatively, the following text
can be saved with a .reg file and imported into the Windows registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{FDC7A535-4070-4B92-A0EA-D9994BCC0DC5}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400

Disable ActiveX

Disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an
attacker) reduces the chances of exploitation of this and other
vulnerabilities. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet
Zone can be found in the "Securing Your Web Browser" document.
