Details
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Microsoft Windows 2000/Server 2003/XP (Operating System). This issue affects an unknown part of the component Server Service Mailslot Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
Heap-based buffer overflow in the Server Service (SRV.SYS driver) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, Server 2003 up to SP1, and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted first-class Mailslot messages that triggers memory corruption and bypasses size restrictions on second-class Mailslot messages.
The issue has been introduced in 02/17/2000. The weakness was shared 07/11/2006 by Pedram Amini and H.D. Moore (TippingPoint) with TippingPoint Security Research Team as MS06-035 as confirmed bulletin (Technet). The advisory is shared at microsoft.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2006-1314 since 03/20/2006. The attack may be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.
After 1 days, there has been an exploit disclosed. The exploit is available at exploit-db.com. It is declared as functional. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2336 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 22029 (MS06-035: Vulnerability in Server Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (917159)), 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 90329 (Microsoft Windows Server Driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (MS06-035)).
Applying the patch MS06-035 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at windowsupdate.microsoft.com. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 7035. In this case the pattern |00| is used for detection.
