Landesk Management Suite IRCRBOOT.DLL buffer overflow ================================================= PROGRAM: Landesk Management Suite HOMEPAGE: http://www.landesk.com VULNERABLE VERSIONS: 8.0 (untested, but highly possible vulnerable) 7.0 and below (tested) DESCRIPTION ================================================= Landesk Management Suite is the flagship of LANDesk family of systems management products in managing medium-to-large networks. LANDeskŪ Management Suite enables IT professionals to automate systems management tasks and proactively control desktops, servers and mobile devices - all from a single console. DETAILS ================================================= Continuing our goal on cleaning dangerous ActiveX/COM components in popular products, we have developed a Fuzzing Tool for ActiveX/COM called "XKnight" (Not XXX, you perverts ! 8-) . XKnight works by fuzzing the interface of the component to hunt for low-hanging fruits. And fortunately, there are so many low-hanging fruits out there !!! IRCRBOOT.DLL is an ActiveX/COM component that comes with Landesk Management Suite. YAUTO.DLL is registered under a CLSID named "DACBF5A1-33C5-11D3-A97E-00C04F72C145". In this component, function SetClientAddress(bszAddr as String) is vulnerable to a bufferoverflow attack when argument bszAddr is passed with a long string. Since this is an ActiveX component, the vulnerability can be exploited just by making a website with the correct CLSID of the ActiveX and calling the function directly. WORKAROUND ================================================= Waiting and apply the patch from vendor and/or remove the file temporary. Vendor is contacted (privacy@landesk.com) more than 3 weeks and they don't give a damn ! By the way, they don't put an email on their website for contacting regarding about security problems.
