NPS Datastore Server DLL Hijacking

NPS Datastore Server DLL Hijacking
Posted Feb 11, 2016
Authored by Yorick Koster, Securify B.V.

A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the NPS Datastore server DLL that ships with Windows Vista. This issue can be exploited by loading the affected DLL as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL iasdatastore2.dll from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system.

Abstract
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the NPS Datastore server
DLL that ships with Windows Vista. This issue can be exploited by
loading the affected DLL as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating
the object Windows will try to load the DLL iasdatastore2.dll from the
current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a
specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the
attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the
attacker taking complete control of the affected system.
