------------------------------------------------------------------------ HP ToComMsg DLL side loading vulnerability ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yorick Koster, September 2015 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstract ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A DLL side loading vulnerability was found in the HP ToComMsg DLL. This issue can be exploited by loading the TcComMsg.AutoTcComMsg object as an embedded OLE object. When instantiating the object Windows will try to load the DLL MFC80ENU.DLL from the current working directory. If an attacker convinces the user to open a specially crafted (Office) document from a directory also containing the attacker's DLL file, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user. This can potentially result in the attacker taking complete control of the affected system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tested versions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This issue was successfully verified on the HP Color LaserJet CM2320 MFP drivers version 3.1 (CM2320series-win7-full-solution-AM-EMEA1-v3.1.exe). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fix ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There is currently no fix available, HP reports: "Unfortunately, the driver software for these devices can no longer be updated. The devices have ended support life and the engineering resources are no longer available to provide any firmware updates. We do understand the issue, and current drivers are no longer vulnerable to the OLE side load issue". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Details ------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.securify.nl/advisory/SFY20150902/hp_tocommsg_dll_side_loading_vulnerability.html https://www.securify.nl/exploit/SFY20150901/hp_laserjet_ole_sideload.html https://www.securify.nl/blog/SFY20151201/there_s_a_party_in_ole__and_you_are_invited.html _______________________________________________ Sent through the Full Disclosure mailing list https://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/fulldisclosure Web Archives & RSS: http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/ By Date By Thread Current thread: HP ToComMsg DLL side loading vulnerability Securify B.V.
