Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security Insecure File Permission
Vulnerability
iDefense Security Advisory 12.14.05
www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=351&type=vulnerabilities
December 14, 2005
I. BACKGROUND
Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security is antivirus protection software
for home and business use. It provides complete protection, detection
and elimination of thousands of computer viruses, worms, and Trojan
Horse programs.
II. DESCRIPTION
Local exploitation of an insecure permission vulnerability in multiple
Trend Micro Inc. products allows attackers to escalate privileges or
disable protection.
The vulnerabilities specifically exist in the default Access Control
List (ACL) settings that are applied during installation. When an
administrator installs an affected Trend Micro product, the default ACL
allows any user to modify the installed files. Due to the fact that some
of the programs run as system services, a user could replace an
installed Trend Micro product file with their own malicious code, and
the code would be executed with system privileges.
III. ANALYSIS
Successful exploitation allows local attackers to escalate privileges to
the system level. It is also possible to use this vulnerability to
simply disable protection by moving all of the executable files so that
they cannot start upon a reboot. Once disabled, the products are no
longer able to provide threat mitigation, thus opening the machine up to
attack.
IV. DETECTION
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Trend
Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005 version 12.00 build 1244. It is
suspected that previous versions are also vulnerable. It has been
reported that InterScan VirusWall, InterScan eManager and Office Scan
are also vulnerable.
V. WORKAROUND
Apply proper Access Control List settings to the directory that the
affected Trend Micro product is installed in. The ACL rules be set so
that no regular users can modify files in the directory.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
"Trend Micro has become aware of a vulnerability related to PC-CILLIN
12. PC-cillin12 does not work correctly when configuration file and the
registry are erased intentionally.
We will release PC-cillin12.4 in December 14, 2005 by AU server. This
release will be included short term solution of changing ACL to User
authority for configuration file and registry.
And
We will create a tool for changing ACL to User authority for
configuration file and registry.
This tool can be used for both PC-cillin12 and PC-cillin14 as a same
program."
VII. CVE INFORMATION
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CVE-2005-3360 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for
security problems.

Trend Micro ServerProtect isaNVWRequest.dll Chunked Overflow
iDefense Security Advisory 12.14.05
www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=353&type=vulnerabilities
December 14, 2005
I. BACKGROUND
Trend Micro Inc.'s ServerProtect provides antivirus scanning with
centralized management of virus outbreaks, scanning, patter file
updates, notifications and remote installations. More information about
the product set is available at:
www.trendmicro.com/en/products/file-server/sp/evaluate/overview.htm
II. DESCRIPTION
Remote exploitation of a heap overflow in Trend Micro Inc.'s
ServerProtect Management Console allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the underlying web server.
The problem specifically exists within the isaNVWRequest.dll ISAPI
application upon processing of large POST requests with "wrapped" length
values, example:
POST /ControlManager/cgi-bin/VA/isaNVWRequest.dll HTTP/1.0
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
80000000
[ 50,000 bytes or so ]
This example request will create an exploitable heap corruption
providing the attacker with a near arbitrary 4-byte overwrite. By
overwriting the address of a soon to be called function, the attacker
can seize CPU control and eventually execute arbitrary code.
III. ANALYSIS
Successful exploitation of the described issue allows remote attackers
to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the underlying web
server. Exploitation does not require credentials, thereby exacerbating
the impact of this vulnerability.
IV. DETECTION
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Trend
Micro ServerProtect for Windows Management Console 5.58 running with
Trend Micro Control Manager 2.5/3.0 and Trend Micro Damage Cleanup
Server 1.1. It is suspected that earlier versions and versions for other
platforms are vulnerable as well.
V. WORKAROUND
Employ firewalls, access control lists or other TCP/UDP restriction
mechanism to limit access to the vulnerable system on the configured
port, generally TCP port 80.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
"Trend Micro has recently become aware of a vulnerability related to the
Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) static libraries used by Trend Micro
products to create Internet Server Application Programming Interface
(ISAPI) programs for IIS user interfaces. Under certain heavy load
conditions, the MFC ISAPI produces invalid arguments, which can create
an access violation, and thus a denial of service to users. The original
MFC vulnerability was reported and patched in 2002 by Microsoft,
however, in April 2005, Microsoft published new solutions, and vendors
were required to rebuild programs to link to the new library. During
this transition period, manual solutions are available through Trend
Micro technical support for customers wishing to take precautionary
measures, in the unlikely event of an exploit targeted at the MFC
vulnerability.
The potential impact to Trend Micro products is limited to some versions
of InterScan eManager, InterScan Web Protect, OfficeScan, and Control
Manager. Many of these products will be updated in the next version
release.
For now, use the workarounds provided:
Option I: Use the Microsoft URLScan Tool
1. Download any of the following:
Note: The tool prevents a potential thread by rejecting the specified
requests.
* URLScan 2.5 (for IIS 6.0)
* IIS Lockdown Tool 2.1 (for IIS 4.0 or 5.0)
2. Run the URLScan tool. The urlscan folder is automatically created in
the C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\urlscan directory.
3. Open Windows Explorer and go to the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\urlscan directory.
4. Find the URLScan.ini file and open with a text editor like Notepad.
5. Find the [AllowExtensions] section and add the following file
extensions:
* .exe
* .ini
* .dat
* .asp
6. Find the [DenyHeaders] section and add the transfer-encoding:
parameter.
7. Find the [Options] section and change the value of
UseAllowExtensions to "0".
8. Under [DenyExtensions], remove the following file extensions:
* .exe
* .ini
* .dat
* .asp
9. Save the changes and close the file.
10. Stop and start the Web service.
Option II: Change build environments
Trend Micro recommends changing the build environments to Visual C++ 6.0
with Service Pack 6."
VII. CVE INFORMATION
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CVE-2005-1929 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in
the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for

Trend Micro ServerProtect EarthAgent Remote DoS Vulnerability
iDefense Security Advisory 12.14.05
www.idefense.com/application/poi/display?id=356&type=vulnerabilities
December 14, 2005
I. BACKGROUND
Trend Micro Inc.'s ServerProtect provides antivirus scanning with
centralized management of virus outbreaks, scanning, patter file
updates, notifications and remote installations. More information about
the product set is available at:
www.trendmicro.com/en/products/file-server/sp/evaluate/overview.htm
II. DESCRIPTION
Remote exploitation of a denial of service vulnerability in Trend Micro
Inc.'s ServerProtect EarthAgent daemon allow attackers to cause the
target process to consume 100% of available CPU resources.
The problem specifically exists within ServerProtect EarthAgent in the
handling of maliciously crafted packets transmitted with the magic value
"\x21\x43\x65\x87" targeting TCP port 5005. A memory leak also occurs
with each received exploit packet allowing an attacker to exhaust all
available memory resources with repeated attack.
III. ANALYSIS
Successful exploitation of the described vulnerability allows
unauthenticated remote attackers to consume 100% CPU resources,
increasingly consume memory resources and potentially crash the
underlying operating system. Full CPU utilization can be achieved with a
single packet, memory consumption occurs incrementally on subsequent
attacks.
IV. DETECTION
iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in Trend
Micro ServerProtect for Windows Management Console 5.58 running with
Trend Micro Control Manager 2.5/3.0 and Trend Micro Damage Cleanup
Server 1.1. It is suspected that earlier versions and versions for other
