Microsoft DirectX 7.0/8.1/9.0/10.0 JPEG Decoder memory corruption

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft DirectX 7.0/8.1/9.0/10.0. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown functionality of the component JPEG Decoder. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Microsoft DirectX 8.1 through 9.0c, and DirectX on Microsoft XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP1 and SP2, Vista Gold and SP1, and Server 2008, does not properly perform MJPEG error checking, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted MJPEG stream in a (1) AVI or (2) ASF file, aka the "MJPEG Decoder Vulnerability."

The bug was discovered 06/10/2008. The weakness was shared 06/11/2008 by Mark Dowd (ERNE) with X-Force (Website). The advisory is shared at us-cert.gov. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-0011 since 12/13/2007. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 33135 (MS08-033: Vulnerabilities in DirectX Could Allow Remote Code Execution (951698)), 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 90438 (Microsoft DirectX Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities (MS08-033)).

Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 6160.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (39052), Tenable (33135), SecurityFocus (BID 29581†), OSVDB (46064†) and Secunia (SA30579†). The entries VDB-34794, VDB-42733, VDB-42732 and VDB-42731 are related to this item. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
