Almost no resp. only some mitigation(s) for "DLL hijacking" via load-time dependencies

Posted by Stefan Kanthak on Dec 21

Hi @ll,

in <http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2015/Nov/101> I showed
general mitigations for DLL hijacking via runtime dependencies
(<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms685090.aspx>).

DLL hijacking is but also possible via load-time dependencies
(<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684184.aspx>)!

Example:

Quite some executable installers use the function timeGetTime()

Executable installers are vulnerable^WEVIL (case 13): ESET NOD32 antivirus installer allows remote code execution with escalation of privilege

Hi @ll,

the executable installer [°] of ESET’s NOD32 antivirus,
eset_nod32_antivirus_live_installer_.exe, loads and executes
(at least) the rogue/bogus/malicious Cabinet.dll and DbgHelp.dll
eventually found in the directory it is started from [‘] (the
“application directory”).

For software downloaded with a web browser this is typically the
“Downloads” directory: see

INTRODUCTION

This is the celebratory 10th edition…

CVE-2015-4545

EMC Isilon OneFS 7.1 before 7.1.1.8, 7.2.0 before 7.2.0.4, and 7.2.1 before 7.2.1.1 allows remote authenticated administrators to bypass a SmartLock root-login restriction by creating a root account and establishing a login session.

Announcing release for MySQL 5.5 and 5.6 onCentOS Linux 7 x86_64 SCL

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of versions 5.5 and 
5.6 of the MySQL on CentOS Linux 7 x86_64, delivered via a Software 
Collection (SCL) built by the SCLo Special Interest Group 
(https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo).

QuickStart
----------
You can get started in three easy steps (example of MySQL 5.6):
$ sudo yum install centos-release-scl
$ sudo yum install rh-mysql56
$ scl enable rh-mysql56 bash

At this point you should be able to use MySQL just as a normal 
application. An examples of commands run might be:
$ systemctl start rh-mysql56-mysqld
$ mysql

In order to view the individual components included in this collection, 
including additional subpackages plugins, you can run:
$ sudo yum list rh-mysql56*

About Software Collections
--------------------------
Software Collections give you the power to build, install, and use 
multiple versions of software on the same system, without affecting 
system-wide installed packages. Each collection is delivered as a group 
of RPMs, with the grouping being done using the name of the collection 
as a prefix of all packages that are part of the software collection.

The collection rh-mysql56 delivers version 5.6 of the MySQL server (with 
daemon called rh-mysql56-mysqld) and related client tools. The 
collection mysql55 delivers version 5.5 of the MySQL server (with daemon 
called mysql55-mysqld) and related client tools.

Both the collections include no client library libmysqlclient.so and 
client applications are advised to use the client library available in 
mysql-libs package from base system.

For more on the MySQL, see https://www.mysql.com.

The SCLo SIG in CentOS
----------------------
The Software Collections SIG group is an open community group 
co-ordinating the development of the SCL technology, and helping curate 
a reference set of collections. In addition to the MySQL collections 
being released here, we also build and deliver other databases, web 
servers, and language stacks including multiple versions of MariaDB, 
PostgreSQL, MongoDB Apache HTTP Server, NodeJS, Ruby, Python and others.

Software Collections SIG release was announced at 
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-October/021446.html

You can learn more about Software Collections concepts at: 
http://softwarecollections.org
You can find information on the SIG at 
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo ; this includes howto 
get involved and help with the effort.

We meet every second Wednesday at 16:00 UTC in #centos-devel (ref: 
https://www.centos.org/community/calendar), for an informal open forum 
open to anyone who might have comments, concerns or wants to get started 
with SCL's in CentOS.

Enjoy!
