CVE-2006-5858

TITLE

Adobe Download Manager buffer overflow

DESCRIPTION

Adobe ColdFusion MX 7 through 7.0.2, and JRun 4, when run on Microsoft IIS, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, list directories, or read source code via a double URL-encoded NULL byte in a ColdFusion filename, such as a CFM file. Adobe Download Manager contains a buffer overflow. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected user or cause a denial-of-service condition. Adobe ColdFusion is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to gain access to the contents of arbitrary files that are not interpreted by ColdFusion. This includes the source of scripting files not handled by ColdFusion, configuration files, log files, and other data files. Information harvested may aid attackers in further attacks. Adobe ColdFusion MX7, 7.0.1 and 7.0.2 are vulnerable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is proud to announce the availability of the Secunia Software Inspector.

Adobe Macromedia ColdFusion Source Code Disclosure Vulnerability iDefense Security Advisory 01.09.07 http://labs.idefense.com/intelligence/vulnerabilities/ Jan 09, 2007 I. BACKGROUND Adobe Macromedia ColdFusion is an application server and development framework for websites. More information is available at the following URL. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/ II. DESCRIPTION Remote exploitation of an input validation vulnerability in Adobe Systems Inc.'s Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 may allow an attacker to view file contents on the server. The vulnerability specifically exists in that URL encoded filenames will be decoded by the IIS process and then again by the ColdFusion process. By supplying a URL containing a double encoded null byte and an extension handled by ColdFusion, such as '.cfm', it is possible to view the contents of any file which is not interpreted by ColdFusion. III. Although this vulnerability does not in itself allow execution of code on the server, it may allow an attacker to discover sensitive information such as passwords or to discover vulnerabilities in other scripts on the system or potentially bypass some security restrictions. IV. DETECTION iDefense has confirmed this vulnerability exists in Adobe Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7.0.2, with all available fixes, running on Microsoft IIS vulnerable. V. WORKAROUND iDefense is unaware of any effective workarounds for this vulnerability. VI. VENDOR RESPONSE Adobe has released a patch for this issue. For more information consult their advisory at the link below. http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb07-02.html VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2006-5858 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling section names in the "dm.ini" file as created by Adobe Download Manager when processing AOM files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted AOM or "dm.ini" file. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user e.g. visits a malicious website. SOLUTION: Update to version 2.2.
