iTunes 12.1 for Windows: still outdated and VULNERABLE 3rd party libraries, still UNQUOTED and VULNERABLE pathnames C:\Program Files\...

Hi @ll, See <http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2014/Oct/164>, <http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Oct/109>, <http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Aug/44>, <http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Aug/33> and <http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Jul/30> for the prequel. The just released iTunes 12.1 for Windows comes again with outdated and VULNERABLE 3rd party libraries. In AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi: * libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll 0.9.8za from 2014-06-05 The current version is 0.9.8ze and has 21 security fixes which are missing in 0.9.8za; see <http://openssl.org/news/> At last, these DLLs are no more 7 years old as before, but "only" 7 months old. * libcurl.dll 7.16.2 is almost EIGHT years old and has at least 22 unfixed CVEs! The current version is 7.40.0; for the fixed vulnerabilities see <http://curl.haxx.se/docs/security.html> In AppleApplicationSupport.msi: * msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll 10.0.40219.1 from 2011-02-20 These are the runtime DLLs for Visual C++ 2010 RTM. The current version is but 10.0.40219.325; see https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/bulletin/MS11-025 Additionally the following VULNERABLE[*] command lines with unquoted pathnames containing spaces are registered. By AppleApplicationSupport.msi: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{fdd068c2-d51a-4175-8a20-5cbc704ea3bd}\LocalServer32] @="[#AppleApplicationSupport_APSDaemon.exe]" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{6812639B-FD61-4329-9901-22CFDBD690FE}\LocalServer32] @="[#AppleApplicationSupport_APSDaemon.exe]" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D9E904CA-8865-42E7-B0F0-B7B8C4D54D70}\LocalServer32] @="[#AppleApplicationSupport_APSDaemon.exe]" For beginners: the value of the unnamed registry entry is a COMMAND LINE and has to be quoted properly!

| To help provide system security, use quoted strings in the path to | indicate where the executable filename ends and the arguments begin. As of Windows 2003 developers who are NOT completely unaware of Microsofts documentation might want to use the "ServerExecutable" registry entry described there too. But 12 years are surely way too short for Apple's developers, QA and management to learn about such "new" features which help improve safety and security. By iTunes.msi: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\itms\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\iTunes\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\daap\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\itmss\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\itsradio\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\itunesradio\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Media\iTunes\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe]" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\itpc\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\itls\shell\open\command] @="[#iTunes.exe] /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\iTunes.AssocProtocol.itls\shell\open\command] @="[INSTALLDIR]iTunes.exe /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pcast\shell\open\command] @="[INSTALLDIR]iTunes.exe /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\iTunes.AssocProtocol.daap\shell\open\command] @="[INSTALLDIR]iTunes.exe /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\iTunes.AssocProtocol.itms\shell\open\command] @="[INSTALLDIR]iTunes.exe /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\iTunes.AssocProtocol.itmss\shell\open\command] @="[INSTALLDIR]iTunes.exe /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\iTunes.AssocProtocol.itpc\shell\open\command] @="[INSTALLDIR]iTunes.exe /url \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\iTunes.AssocProtocol.pcast\shell\open\command] @="[INSTALLDIR]iTunes.exe /url \"%1\""

| If any element of the command string contains or might contain | spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. Otherwise, if ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | the element contains a space, it will not parse correctly. See <http://home.arcor.de/skanthak/sentinel.html> if you want to detect software with this 20+ year old vulnerability[*] without dissecting its *.MSI files. Until Apple's developers, their QA and their managers start to develop a sense for their customers safety and security: stay away from Apple's (Windows) software! stay tuned Stefan Kanthak [*] <https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/428.html> You'll read more about it soon! _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/
