Microsoft Office HtmlDlgHelper class memory corruption
1. *Advisory Information*
Title: Microsoft Office HtmlDlgHelper class memory corruption
Advisory Id: CORE-2010-0517
Advisory URL:
[http://www.coresecurity.com/content/MS-Office-HtmlDlgHelper-memory-corruption]
Date published: 2010-10-12
Date of last update: 2010-10-14
Vendors contacted: Microsoft
Release mode: Coordinated release
2. *Vulnerability Information*
Class: Missing Initialization [CWE-456]
Impact: Code execution
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
CVE Name: CVE-2010-3329
Bugtraq ID: N/A
3. *Vulnerability Description*
Microsoft Windows is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when
instantiating the 'HtmlDlgHelper Class Object' in a Microsoft Office
Document (ie: .XLS, .DOC). The affected vulnerable module is part of
Internet Explorer ('mshtmled.dll'). This vulnerability could be used by
a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user that opened the malicious file.
4. *Vulnerable packages*
. IE 6
. IE 7
. IE 8
. MS Office XP
. MS Office 2003
. MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010 (the control is disabled by default)
5. *Non-vulnerable packages*
. For further information and patches about this issue look at the
Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for October 2010 [1], patch ms10-071.
6. *Credits*
This vulnerability was discovered by Damian Frizza from Core Security
Technologies.
7. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*
Microsoft Windows is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when
instantiating the 'HtmlDlgHelper Class Object'
('CLASSID:3050f4e1-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b') in a Microsoft Office
Document (ie: .XLS, .DOC). The affected vulnerable module is part of
Internet Explorer ('mshtmled.dll'). The vulnerability occurs in
'mshtmled.dll' when the destructor of the 'CHtmlDlgHelper' class is
called and then makes access to uninitialized memory.
The ActiveX control is marked as "Not Safe for Initialization", and
prompts the user with: "ActiveX controls might contain viruses or other
security hazards. Do not enable this content unless you trust the source
of this file". However, in Office 2003 the bug is triggered even if the
user answers "No" to the prompt.
The following code is where the vulnerability occurs, when opening a
.XLS document on Microsoft Office Excel 2003 ('mshtmled.dll'
v8.0.6001.18702):

This exploitable condition was reproduced in the following versions of
'mshtmled.dll':
. 'mshtmled.dll' v8.0.6001.18702
. 'mshtmled.dll' v8.0.6001.18000
. 'mshtmled.dll' v7.0.6000.17023
. 'mshtmled.dll' v7.0.6000.17080
8. *Report Timeline*
. 2010-05-28:
Initial notification to the vendor. Draft advisory and proof-of-concept
files sent to MSRC. Publication date set for July 13, 2010.
. 2010-06-11:
Core requests from the vendor an update on the status of this case.
. 2010-06-14:
The vendor responds that its engineers are still investigating this
issue; and that they expect to have more information from the
investigation and triage process within the next few days.
. 2010-06-15:
The vendors informs that they have been determined that the ActiveX
control is marked as "Not Safe for Initialization"; and prompts the user
with a dialog that warns the user that they are going to be executing a
potentially malicious code. In consequence, the vendor treats this case
as the same scenario as a user that tries to enable and open an Office
document with a Macro or VBA code contained within.
. 2010-06-15:
Core asks the vendor if the previous mail means that it does not intent
to fix the bug or that it does not recognize it as a security issue. The
reporter's viewpoint is that a dialog prompt is not a fix "per se" and
just a defense in depth mechanism; and that he would prefer to see the
bug fixed rather than relying on mitigations that prevent exploitation.
. 2010-06-15:
Core adds the following information: in Office 2003 even if the user
answers No to the ActiveX dialog, the application ends up crashing.
. 2010-06-16:
Vendor responds that it is currently investigating the new information.
. 2010-06-28:
Vendor informs that it has found that the vulnerable code actually
exists and is owned by the IE team whom is currently investigating the
crash; and that this case is transferred over to them (and to a new case
manager as well).
. 2010-07-02:
Vendor informs Core that the IE team has finished the investigation into
this issue and was able to reproduce the issue reported. During the
investigation it was determined that this is an exploitable crash in
Internet Explorer. Vendor will send Core the list of affected Internet
Explorer versions when available.
. 2010-07-02:
Core acknowledges receipt of the update, and reminds that although the
vulnerable code is owned by the IE team this also affects Office
(including 2010). Core offers to postpone publication of its advisory
from July 13th to August 10th on the basis of a firm commitment to a
release date from the vendor's side. Core informs that it is evaluating
the possibility of using Office killbit recently introduced by MS10-036
as a workaround, but that MS10-036 points to a knowledge base article
[2] that is no longer available.
. 2010-07-07:
Vendor acknowledges previous mail, and states that it will determine
with the product team how this fix could be included in the August
release. Vendor requests an updated version of the advisory, and to
include a vendor statement.
. 2010-07-22:
Core requests an update on the status of the vulnerability report; and
informs that publication of its advisory has been rescheduled to August
10, 2010, despite the fact that Core did not receive any updates. Core
informs that the publication of this advisory is transferred to a new
case manager.
. 2010-08-04:
Core sends an updated version of the advisory and also asks if MSRC can
provide:
1. The list of affected software versions.
2. The CVE number assigned to this vulnerability (if it exists).
3. The steps to reproduce the vulnerability in IE [3].
4. The link to the knowledge base article about the newly introduced
Office killbit given that Core is investigating using that defense
mechanism as a workaround but MS10-036 points to a knowledge base
article that is no longer available
([http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983632]).
Core also notifies this advisory is currently scheduled to be published
on August 10, 2010 but the publication can be reviewed if Microsoft
responds with a firm commitment to a release date of fixes, and
technical information about the root cause of this vulnerability.
. 2010-08-04:
MSRC responds that the updated advisory draft was internally forwarded
and they are working on collecting answers to the requested questions.
. 2010-08-05:
MSRC sends the answers to the asked questions:
1. The affected versions of Internet Explorer are IE6 [4], IE7 and IE8.
2. MSRC is unable to assign a CVE as it is too early. CVEs are
typically assigned closer to the scheduled release date and MSRC will
receive the block of CVEs from Mitre for the October release of the
Internet Explorer security update.
3. MSRC notifies there is no attack vector in IE, and they cannot
provide steps to reproduce the vulnerability in IE.
4. The knowledge base article about the newly introduced Office
killbit was redirected to [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2252664].
. 2010-08-06:
Core asks MSRC to clarify if the fix for this issue has been scheduled
to be released in October.
. 2010-08-06:
MSRC confirms that the fix for this issue is scheduled for the October
release of IE.
. 2010-08-09:
Core re-schedules the publication of the advisory for October 12 and
notifies that this date should be considered as final, if Microsoft does
not release fixes on that date, the advisory will be released as 'user
release'.
. 2010-08-09:
MSRC confirms that the fix for this issue is scheduled for the October
release of IE.
. 2010-10-01:
MSRC provides a status update about this issue and notifies that it is
slated to be included in the October release of the IE Cumulative Update
and SafeHTML update scheduled for October 12, 2010. MSRC also notifies
that the CVE assigned to this issue is CVE-2010-3329.
. 2010-10-01:
MSRC notifies that they have made a mistake and included an invalid
detail in the last status update. In particular, the issue does not
affect the SafeHTML update scheduled for October but it will be shipping
in the IE Cumulative Update scheduled for October.
. 2010-10-01:
Core acknowledges the MSRC's e-mail and notifies that although the
problem is located in IE-owned code, the problem also affects Office up
to 2010. Core assumes this will be specified in the MSRC bulletin and
asks for confirmation.
. 2010-10-04:
MSRC confirms that the description of the vulnerability calls out that
the vector to the vulnerability is through opening a word document.
. 2010-10-12:
Advisory CORE-2010-0517 is published.
