Date: Apr 8 2003
|
Impact:
Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Exploit Included: Yes
|
Version(s): 7.02 Build 2668
|
Description:
A buffer overflow vulnerability was reported in the Opera web browser in the processing of URLs. A remote user could create a URL that, when loaded by the target user, could cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system with the privileges of the target user.
It is reported that a specially crafted URL can cause the browser to crash, overwritting the EIP register with the file name (converted to unicode). A remote user can thus create a URL to reference certain addresses in memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://usuarios.lycos.es/idoru/aaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.zip
The vendor has reportedly been notified.
|
Impact:
A remote user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will cause the target user's browser to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target user.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.zip
Opera crashes with an access violation . Instruction pointer EIP is
overwritten by the file name converted to unicode . That makes only
possible to reference certain addresses in memory to execute . To place
your code to execute in a valid address you have to assign it to an
enviroment variable .That place your code in an address that can be
referenced by EIP ( ~00010040 )
