A malicious local user can create specifically modified DLLs to replace the normal product DLLs required during startup. Then, by redirecting the startup path of the VIP Access Desktop UI Manager the user can cause the VIP Access Desktop UI Manager to invoke the substituted DLL instead of the required product DLL. Any specifically modified code execution could be performed with logged-on user privileges, which is normally user-level access in currently supported operating systems. Ultimately, this problem is caused by a failure to properly validate required product DLLs during start-up. This could result in a local user being able to manipulate VIP Access Desktop to load and execute an arbitrary DLL of the user's choice with user-level privileges. Problem is that Symantec creates a shortcut under start list menu with an empty "Start" field under its properties, if that shortcut exists on desktop and one of the above DLL also exists on users desktop arbitrary code execution will occur. Vulnerable DLLs: jhi.dll otpiha.dll Reference: https://www.symantec.com/security_response/securityupdates/detail.jsp?fid=security_advisory&pvid=security_advisory&year=&suid=20161208_00 Exploit code: ============= Create "jhi.dll" #include<windows.h> //gcc -c jhi.c //gcc -shared -o jhi.dll jhi.o BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HINSTANCE hInst, DWORD reason, LPVOID reserved){ switch (reason) { case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH: MessageBox(NULL, "Code Execution!", "hyp3rlinx", MB_OK); break; } return 0; } 1) Run Symantec VIP Access 2) BOOM!
