Sony PC Companion 2.1 (Admin_RemoveDirectory()) Stack-based Unicode Buffer Overload SEH Vendor: Sony Mobile Communications AB Product web page: http://www.sonymobile.com Affected version: 2.10.115 (Production 27.1, Build 830) 2.10.108 (Production 26.1, Build 818) Summary: PC Companion is a computer application that acts as a portal to Sony Xperia and operator features and applications, such as phone software updates, management of contacts and calendar, media management with Media Go, and a backup and restore feature for your phone content. Desc: The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in PluginManager.dll when handling the value assigned to the 'Path' item in the Admin_RemoveDirectory function and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long string which may lead to execution of arbitrary code on the affected machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN encountered (1e5c.1b34): Break instruction exception - code 80000003 (first chance) eax=00000000 ebx=6348e958 ecx=75b1de28 edx=0013e505 esi=00000000 edi=0013ed88 eip=75b1dca5 esp=0013e74c ebp=0013e7c8 iopl=0 nv up ei pl zr na pe nc cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003b gs=0000 efl=00000246 KERNEL32!FormatMessageA+0x13c85: 75b1dca5 cc int 3 0:000> !exchain 0013e7b8: KERNEL32!RegSaveKeyExA+3e9 (75b49b72) 0013f114: 00430043 Invalid exception stack at 00420042 0:000> d 0013f114 0013f114 42 00 42 00 43 00 43 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 B.B.C.C.D.D.D.D. 0013f124 44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 D.D.D.D.D.D.D.D. 0013f134 44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 D.D.D.D.D.D.D.D. 0013f144 44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 D.D.D.D.D.D.D.D. 0013f154 44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 D.D.D.D.D.D.D.D. 0013f164 44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 D.D.D.D.D.D.D.D. 0013f174 44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 D.D.D.D.D.D.D.D. 0013f184 44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00-44 00 44 00 44 00 44 00 D.D.D.D.D.D.D.D. 0:000> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tested on: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (EN) 32bit Vulnerability discovered by Gjoko 'LiquidWorm' Krstic @zeroscience Advisory ID: ZSL-2012-5120 Advisory URL: http://www.zeroscience.mk/en/vulnerabilities/ZSL-2012-5120.php http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/121.html 09.11.2012 ---
