Microsoft IE: Memory corruption in CStyleSheetArray::BuildListOfMatchedRules
CVE-2017-0202
There is a memory corruption vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability was confirmed on Internet Explorer Version 11.576.14393.0 (Update Version 11.0.38) running on Windows 10 64-bit with page heap enabled for iexplore.exe process.
PoC:
===========================================================
===========================================================
The crash happens in CStyleSheetArray::BuildListOfMatchedRules while attempting to read memory outside of the bounds of the object pointed by eax (possibly due to a type confusion issue, but I didn't investigate in detail). If that read is successful and attacker-controlled address is read into edi, this down the line leads to a write at the attacker controlled address in CStyleSheetArray::BuildListOfProbableRules. Thus it might be possible to turn the issue into code execution.
Debug info:
(d10.1504): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.
