WPS Office Wpsio.dll Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

In module wpsio.dll, a BSTR string stored in the file is copied to the stack buffer, without strict length inspection, leading to a stack buffer overflow. This sample exploit this issue to cover an object stored in the stack, leading to crash during the virtual function call. Successfully exploited this vulnerability will lead to arbitrary code execution.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all input is properly validated and sanitized before being used in any operations.

5 Analysis
In sub_45E2CC84:
 
.text:45E2CC84 var_210         = byte ptr -210h ;buffer size 0x200
.text:45E2CC84 var_4           = dword ptr -4
 
 
.text:45E2CDB3                 push    [ebp+Src]       ; BSTR
.text:45E2CDB9                 call    esi ; SysStringLen
.text:45E2CDBB                 mov     [ebp+var_244], eax
.text:45E2CDC1                 add     eax, eax        ;size is 0x170
.text:45E2CDC3                 push    eax             ; Size
.text:45E2CDC4                 push    [ebp+Src]       ; Src
.text:45E2CDCA                 lea     eax, [ebp+var_210]
.text:45E2CDD0                 push    eax             ; Dst
.text:45E2CDD1                 call    memcpy
 
First time,copy 0x170 bytes to buffer var_210.
 
.text:45E2CE16                 push    edi             ; BSTR
.text:45E2CE17                 mov     [ebp+var_234], ax
.text:45E2CE1E                 call    esi ; SysStringLen
.text:45E2CE20                 add     eax, eax
.text:45E2CE22                 push    eax             ; Size
.text:45E2CE23                 movzx   eax, [ebp+var_234] ;length
.text:45E2CE2A                 lea     eax, [ebp+eax*2+var_210]
.text:45E2CE31                 push    edi             ; Src
.text:45E2CE32                 push    eax             ; Dst
.text:45E2CE33                 call    memcpy
 
Second time,copy the same string, placed after the first string. var_234 is the length of the string. Total copy 0x2e0 bytes.
After copy,return address and SEH record has been overwritten.

The source data of memcpy is from the file poc.wps,offset 0x41d7.

 
6 Exploit
As described above, using a suitable data overwrite SEH record or return address, eip is controllable.
So,We think this is a security vulnerability.
