Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft Windows (Operating System) (version unknown). It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The Indeo codec in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted media content.

The weakness was presented 12/12/2009 by iDefense Labs (TippingPoint) with TippingPoint and the Zero Day Initiative (Website). The advisory is shared for download at support.microsoft.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2009-4210 since 12/03/2009. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction by the victim. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $0-$5k (estimation calculated on 09/18/2018). The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1059.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 43089 (MS KB955759: Security Enhancements for the Indeo Codec), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 116751 (Microsoft Windows Indeo Codec Could Allow Remote Code Execution (KB954157)).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published before and not just after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (54644), Tenable (43089), SecurityFocus (BID 37251†), OSVDB (60857†) and Secunia (SA37592†).
