Spent some time with spoonm over the weekend at RECON tinkering with the MS05-025 PNG vulnerability. Using my own not-as-cool-as-halvar's bindiff tool I came across the following significant change:
The left column is pre-patch and the right column is post-patch. Further tracing reveals the actual vulnerable loop that leads to heap corruption, a jump table for which case 0x9 is required to reach the vulnerable function and some other interesting tidbits. All in all the vulnerability wasn't difficult to pin point, the biggest hurdle is overcoming the lazyness required to generate a valid PNG image as the CRC checks are done prior to reaching the vulnerable code.
Just got back from RECON in Montreal. The trip back was miserable (4 flights spanning over 12 hours due to cancellations etc.) but the con was great. Lots of great speakers including Nicolas Brulez, Andrew Griffiths and spoonm. My talk was well received, RECON was definetely the perfect venue for Process Stalker.
You may have noticed the ghosted 'Heap' option under the 'View' menu in OllyDBG. The feature is available only under Windows 95 based OSes and is supposed to display a list of allocated memory blocks. I've written a plug-in, Olly Heap Vis, to provide this missing functionality and more on all modern Windows OSes such as Windows 2000, XP and 2003.
I've been accepted to speak about Process Stalking at RECON, a computer security conference being held in Montreal from June 17th through 19th.
Updates for IDA Sync, IDA pGRAPH and IDA Function Analyzer have been made available today. The IDA plug-ins have all been ported to compile against the 4.8 SDK. Binaries for IDA Pro 4.8 are also included.
