Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-116

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-116
Posted Jul 13, 2012
Authored by Tipping Point | Site zerodayinitiative.com

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 12-116 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of EMC Autostart. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the ftAgent.exe service, which listens by default on TCP port 8045. When handling messages with opcode 50 (0x32) and subcode 04, the process performs arithmetic on an unvalidated user-supplied value used to determine the size of a new heap buffer, allowing a potential integer wrap. This user supplied value is also used to determine how many times a loop will parse the data into the buffer. Combined, the vulnerable code will allow for the heap to be corrupted. This vulnerability can be leveraged to execute code under the context of the SYSTEM user.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
vulnerable installations of EMC Autostart. Authentication is not required
to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within the ftAgent.exe service, which listens by
default on TCP port 8045. When handling messages with opcode 50 (0x32) and
subcode 04, the process performs arithmetic on an unvalidated user-supplied
value used to determine the size of a new heap buffer, allowing a potential
integer wrap. This user supplied value is also used to determine how many
times a loop will parse the data into the buffer. Combined, the vulnerable
code will allow for the heap to be corrupted. This vulnerability can be
leveraged to execute code under the context of the SYSTEM user.

- -- Vendor Response:
EMC has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. More details can be
