WinZip32 MIME Parsing Overflow

This is a proof-of-concept exploit for the WinZip32 MIME Parsing Overflow bug. The exploit takes advantage of a buffer overflow vulnerability in WinZip 8.1 on Windows XP SP1 and Windows 2000 SP1. The exploit allows an attacker to control the EBX register and execute arbitrary code.

Mitigation:

Upgrade WinZip to a patched version or use an alternative file compression tool.

 *  Author: snooq       
 *  Date: 14 April 2004  
 *
 *  This is a PoC exploit for WinZip32 MIME Parsing Overflow
 *  bug reported by iDefense on 27 February 2004.
 *
 *  The original advisory is found here:
 *  http://www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=76
 *
 *  This version is SP dependent becoz my idiotic shellcode
 *  uses hardcoded addresses.... =p 
 *  
 *  So, test it locally only. Afterall, it's just a PoC rite?
 *  Nonetheless, it's possible to make it more portable by 
 *  using a universal shellcode... 
 *
 *  but beware... chars like <>,.:;'"=[]\/ are filtered...
 *  so feel free to XOR it.. =p
 *
 *  Notes
 *  =====
 *  1) Tested against WinZip 8.1 on WinXP SP1, Win2K SP1 only
 *
 *  2) You need to first launch WinZip before you 'Open'
 *
 *  3) Double clicking the 'uue' won't work 
 *     why so? go figure it out urself... =p 
 *     once u know why... u'd then know how to fix it...

/*
 *  A snapshot of the 'crash'
 *  =========================
 *
 *  Our buffer on the heap looks like this:
 *  
 *  [....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBCCCCDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....]
 *  |--- heap grows this way --------->
 *
 *   
 *  and the CPU is about to execute the following code:
 *
 *  0049BFFC  |> 8B4C13 08      MOV ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+EDX+8]
 *  0049C000  |. 8B7C13 04      MOV EDI,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+EDX+4]
 *  0049C004  |. 8979 04        MOV DWORD PTR DS:[ECX+4],EDI
 *  0049C007  |. 8B4C13 04      MOV ECX,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+EDX+4]
 *  0049C00B  |. 8B7C13 08      MOV EDI,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+EDX+8]
 *  0049C00F  |. 035D F8        ADD EBX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-8]
 *  0049C012  |. 8979 08        MOV DWORD PTR DS:[ECX+8],EDI
 *  0049C015  |. 895D F4        MOV DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-C],EBX
 *
 *  and, EBX register seems to be under our control... =p
 *
 *  EDX = ptr to 'DDDD'	
 *  EBX = 'DDDD' - 1		
 *
 *  By carefully choosing a value for EBX, we are able to manipulate
 *  ECX at 0049BFFC and EDI at 0049C000.
 *
 *  If we set 'DDDD'=0xfffffff5 (-11), 
 *  
 *  -> EBX would be '0xfffffff4' (-12)
 *  -> [EBX+EDX+8] becomes [EDX-4] and ECX = 'CCCC'
 *  -> [EBX+EDX+4] becomes [EDX-8] and EDI = 'BBBB'
 *
 *  Effectively at 0049C004, we can write a DWORD 'BBBB' to ['CCCC'+4]
 *  After that.....
 *
 *  -> [EBX+EDX+4] becomes [EDX-8] and ECX = 'BBBB'
 *  -> [EBX+EDX+8] becomes [EDX-4] and EDI = 'CCCC' 
 *  
 *  Finally we reach MOV DWORD PTR DS:['BBBB'+8],'CCCC' at 0049C012..
 *
 *  Choosing the rite values for 'BBBB' + 'CCCC', execution flow could
 *  be reliably diverted into our shellcode.
 *
 *  In this exploit, I've chosen to install our code as the main thread's
 *  top exception handler so that when exception is triggered at 0049C012,
 *  our code will be called to 'handle' it... =p
 *
 *  This is how I did it but I'm not sure if this is the best way.
 *  If you know of any other better way to exploit this.....
 *  pleaseeeeee tell me....... :)
