Microsoft Windows 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 Windows (Operating System) (version unknown) and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was presented 09/14/2004 by Nick DeBaggis with verizon.net as MS04-028 as confirmed bulletin (Technet). The advisory is shared at microsoft.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2004-0200 since 03/11/2004. 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.

A public exploit has been developed by FoToZ and been published 1 weeks after the advisory. The exploit is available at gulftech.org. It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $25k-$100k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 14834 (Radmin (Remote Administrator) Port 10002 - Possible GDI Compromise), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Backdoors. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 110027 (Microsoft Office GDI+ JPEG Processing Vulnerability (MS04-028)).

Applying the patch MS04-028 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at windowsupdate.microsoft.com. Attack attempts may be identified with Snort ID 2707. In this case the pattern |FF| is used for detection. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 2992.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (16304), Exploit-DB (472), Tenable (14834), SecurityFocus (BID 11173†) and OSVDB (9951†). astalavista.ch is providing further details. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
