Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 Sound code injection

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 PowerPoint 2002 (Presentation Software). It has been classified as very critical. This affects an unknown functionality of the component Sound. The manipulation with an unknown input 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:

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2000 SP3, 2002 SP3, and 2003 SP3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted sound data in a file that uses a PowerPoint 4.0 native file format, leading to a "pointer overwrite" and memory corruption, aka "Legacy File Format Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-0223, CVE-2009-0226, CVE-2009-0227, and CVE-2009-1137.

The weakness was disclosed 05/12/2009 by Nicolas Joly with VUPEN Security (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at us-cert.gov. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-0222 since 01/20/2009. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/11/2021). The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1059 according to MITRE ATT&CK.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 38742 (MS09-017: Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office PowerPoint Could Allow Remote Code Execution (967340)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 110094 (Microsoft Office PowerPoint Could Allow Remote Code Execution (MS09-017)).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 8037.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (50281), Tenable (38742), SecurityFocus (BID 34831†), OSVDB (54382†) and Secunia (SA32428†). The entries VDB-3946, VDB-3971, VDB-3973 and VDB-3972 are pretty similar. Statistical analysis made it clear that VulDB provides the best quality for vulnerability data.
