CanSecWest 2012 2nd Annual Cyber Security Hack In Paris	Checkpoint VPN-1 SecureClient Insecure Usage of CreateProcess() 23 Jan. 2006    Summary The Microsoft Windows API "includes the CreateProcess() function as a means to create a new process and it's primary thread". Improper use of Windows API command CreateProcess allows attackers to execute arbitrary programs with elevated privileges.   Credit: The information has been provided by Thierry Zoller. The original article can be found at: http://secdev.zoller.lu/research/checkpoint.txt The advisory about CreateProcess() can be found at: http://www.securiteam.com/windowsntfocus/6X00S0AELA.html Website Security Scan Code Vulnerability Test Network Assessment Tool Detect hidden vulnerabilities Exhaustive automated testing Real-time, continuous security Get guidance from professionals of internal or 3rd party code. scanning for your entire network    Details Protect your website! Use an External Vulnerability Scanner! Nothing to install. First report in 1 hour! www.beyondsecurity.com/vulnerability-scanner During Startup, the SR_Watchdog.exe spawns the GUI process (SR_GUI.exe) through the use of the CreateProcess() function. By doing so it omits to set the 'lpApplicationName' variable and further omits to quote the path in the variable "lpCommandLine". This results in executing c:\program.bat|exe|com prior to Sr_GUI.exe and allow automatic startup of a potentially rogue application. In particular one could imagine a scenario where it is possible to escalate rights using this (as they are inherited from SR_Watchdog.exe).  Comments: blog comments powered by Disqus	All Sections Security News Unix focus Exploits Tools Windows focus Security Reviews  Related Articles Novell Zenworks Software Packaging LaunchHelp.dll Code Execution Vulnerability Novell ZENWorks Software Packaging Antique ActiveX Control Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Internet Explorer swapNode Handling Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Internet Explorer Select Element Insufficient Type Checking Code Execution Vulnerability Internet Explorer Select Element Cache Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Office Graph DataFormat Signed Index Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Office Excel Conditional Expression Ptg Type Confusion Vulnerability Microsoft Internet Explorer Protected Mode Bypass Vulnerability Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 STYLE Object Parsing Code Execution Vulnerability Microsoft Internet Explorer XSLT SetViewSlave Code Execution Vulnerability CA Total Defense Suite Gateway Security Malformed HTTP Packet Code Execution Vulnerability HP Easy Printer Care XMLSimpleAccessor Class ActiveX Control Code Execution Vulnerability TrendMicro Control Manager CASProcessor.exe BLOB Code Execution Vulnerability Symantec Veritas Storage Foundation vxsvc.exe Unicode Code Execution Vulnerability HP iNode Management Center iNodeMngChecker.exe Code Execution Vulnerability  Featured Articles ProFTPD Response Pool Use-After-Free Code Execution Vulnerability HP Data Protector Notebook Extension LogClientInstallation SQL Injection Vulnerabilty GE Proficy Historian ihDataArchiver.exe Trusted Header Size Code Execution Vulnerability Novell ZENWorks Software Packaging Antique ActiveX Control Code Execution Vulnerability Adobe Reader U3D IFF RGBA Parsing Code Execution Vulnerability Adobe Reader U3D PCX Parsing Code Execution Vulnerability Cisco Unified Service Monitor brstart add_dm Code Execution Vulnerability
