Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Microsoft Windows (Operating System) (unknown version). This affects an unknown code block of the component WMI Administrative Tools WMI Object Viewer ActiveX. The manipulation as part of a WMI Object leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The WBEMSingleView.ocx ActiveX control 1.50.1131.0 in Microsoft WMI Administrative Tools 1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted argument to the ReleaseContext method, a different vector than CVE-2010-3973, possibly an untrusted pointer dereference.

The weakness was presented 12/22/2010 with WooYun (Website). The advisory is shared at wooyun.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2010-4588 since 12/22/2010. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue.

The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $100k and more.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at wooyun.org.
