Betr.: IE 6 XML Patch Bypass

[Philip Wagenaar]

I tried tried the proof of concept and indeed it looks like your 'hack' w=
as succesful. I have WinXP with all patches from WindowsUpdate and run So=
phos AV.

However, you might want to put up a warning that running the proof of con=
cept will change a on your harddisk.

IE 6 XML Patch Bypass

I have recently been playing around with the xml+windows media player exp=
loit, and it=20
seems that even with the new Microsoft patch applied, the vulnerability w=
orks.
I have tried it on 7 different people, on win2k and xp, and it worked eve=
rytime.=20
The 8th person was using DAP (Download Acceselerator Plus), so it asked h=
im if he=20
wanted to download the executable. IE hacks like Dybuk Explorer are not a=
ffected by=20
the vulnerability as well.

Here is a proof-of-concept:

http://mindlock.bestweb.net/wmp.htm=20

Note: this only works on people who have media player in C:\Program Files=
\Windows Media Player\=20
and version 9.

I am not 100% sure, but I believe that microsoft's new patch fixes the 40=
1 bug.=20
I tried using "HTTP/1.0 401 EVIL EVIL" so this may have been the reason f=
or the patch bypass.

My solution would be to disable the media bar in IE 6. I explained how to=
=20do so in wmp.htm.

There is no reason for it not to work. MS03-040 doesn't claim to offer a
patch for ADODB.Stream or "file:javascript" vulnerabilities. It offers a
patch to the variation of the application/hta content-type header in object
elements, publicly disclosed by http-equiv.

This could have been easily determined by reading the bulletin properly.

This is NOT a vulnerability in WMP or MSXML, they are simply used as tools
in this attack.

MSXML is used here to create and pass along a SAFEARRAY and WMP is used to
run an executable once its protocol handler has been replaced by the real
vulnerability used here. That vulnerability is Jelmer's ADODB.Stream
vulnerability, which happens to be utilized via Liu's "file:javascript"
vulnerability, in conjunction with another vulnerability to allow a "res://"
URL to open (also by Jelmer).
