Technical description:
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in riched20.dll,which can result
in the collapse
of the application program that use the corresponding function of the DLL
module, But it is
very difficult to have the effect of allowing an attacker to execute
commands on a user抯 system.
This problem exists in the analysed RTF file code, and there is an
overflows when drawing
figure-string( such as the size of the character) in the file form .This
overflow seem not to
be used for executing commands.
The following RTFfile may result in illegal operation :
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg936\deff0\deflang1033\deflangfe2052{\fonttbl{\f0
\fnil\fprq2\fcharset134 \'cb\'ce\'cc\'e5;}}
{\colortbl ;\red255\green0\blue255;}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\cf1\kerning2\f0
\fs18121111111111111111111111111111111110000 www.yoursft.com\fs20\par
}
"\fs" was used for setting the size of the followingly
words "www.yoursft.com". when the figure-string
that set the size of the fonts exceeding 1024byte(>1024b) , it Will cause
the buffer overflow ;And when
exceeding 65536byte(>65536b) it will probably cause crashing the
application program.
This promblom Not only appear in the setting of "\fs" , other attribute
will have the same problem under
the similar situation. And this following RTF files Will also result in
operating illegally :
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg936\deff0\deflang1033\deflangfe2052{\fonttbl{\f0
\fnil\fprq2\fcharset134 \'cb\'ce\'cc\'e5;}}
{\colortbl ;\red255\green0\blue255;}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\cf1\kerning2\f0121111111111111111111111111111111112222
\fs180 www.yoursft.com\fs20\par
}
The terrible thing is nowadays lots of software was affected by this
vulnerability. The attacker can send a
malicious message that include exploiting the vulnerability, then when you
read this message your program will be crashed.
