# Exploit Title: cmd.exe Unicode Buffer Overflow (SEH) # Date: 7/8/2010 # Author: bitform # Software Link: N/A # Version: N/A # Tested on: Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Windows XP SP2 # CVE : none
1) Acknowledgements
Props to Dan Crowley (@dan_crowley) at Core Security Technologies for doing the research on Windows File Pseudonyms and coming up with the idea for this buffer overflow.
His presentation can be found here: www.sourceconference.com/bos10pubs/windows%20file%20pseudonyms.pptx
2) Bug
The TYPE command in Windows is equivalent to cat in *nix. It simply outputs the contents of a file to stdout. If you use TYPE in conjunction with the device file CON, you can feed stdin into a file.
Example: TYPE CON > evil.txt
CON is also interpreted as a file so you can append an extension to it. Supplying a overly large extension will overflow the structured exception handler.
This buffer overflow is not exploitable since cmd.exe and it's DLLs are all compiled with SafeSEH. Oh well. :D
3) Code
TYPE CON.<A * 626><B * 2><C * 2372>
Note: The two B's is where the SEH is overwritten.
