FileFind class from MFC Library cause heap overflow.
==================================================Internal ID: VULWKU200706142
introduction
------------
The GOODFELLAS security research team has found a bug in the
MFC42 and MFC71 libraries offered natively in Windows, specifically,
the bug is in the FindFile class.
The said class is used to manage file searches accross the filesystem,
it allows the user to specify the type of file his looking for.
The MFC Reference covers the classes, global functions, global
variables,
and macros that make up the Microsoft Foundation Class Library version
8.0.
CFileFind Classhttp://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f33e1618(VS.80).aspx
CFileFind::FindFile=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x4dz98yx(VS.80).aspx
The MSDN documentation has no information related to bounds
checking regarding to that function.
Summary
-------
The FindFile method allocates memory for the buffer[1].
The buffer then is used to store the contents of the first argument of
the function[2] without cheching if the argument actually fits in the
allocated buffer. This data is in turn used to start a search.
Both the unicode and ascii versions of the library use a very similar
function and have the same bug, the only real difference is the size
of the allocated buffer. The unicode version allocates 592 bytes and,
the ascii version, 320 bytes.
impact
------
Any application that uses the API, allowing the user to manipulate
its first argument, is vulnerable to this heap overflow.
workaround
----------
At the moment, there is no known workaround for the vulnerable software.
The function should internally use lstrcpynA or lsstrcpynW.
