Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Wine up to 1.12 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the file metafile.c of the component WMF File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

The Windows Graphical Device Interface library (GDI32.DLL) in Microsoft Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Windows Metafile (WMF) format image with a crafted SETABORTPROC GDI Escape function call, related to the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (SHIMGVW.DLL), a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-2123 and CVE-2005-2124, and as originally discovered in the wild on unionseek.com.

The weakness was presented 01/08/2006 by H. D. Moore with MetaSploit as MS06-001 as confirmed bulletin (Technet). The advisory is available at microsoft.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2005-4560 since 12/28/2005. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known.

After even before and not, there has been an exploit disclosed. The exploit is available at metasploit.com. It is declared as highly functional. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 20382 (MS06-001: Vulnerabilities in Graphics Rendering Engine Could Allow Code Execution (912919)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 90289 (Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine WMF Format Code Execution (MS06-001)).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch MS06-001 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at bugs.debian.org. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 5318. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 4044.
