Internet Security Systems Protection Advisory
February 24, 2005
Trend Micro AntiVirus Library Heap Overflow
Summary:
ISS has shipped protection for a flaw X-Force has discovered in Trend Micro
AntiVirus Library. The Trend Micro AntiVirus Library is widely relied upon
to provide antivirus capabilities to desktop, server, and gateway systems.
Also, several large vendors and ISP's implement Trend Micro's AntiVirus
Library in their products. By crafting an ARJ file, an attacker is able to
trigger a heap overflow within the process importing the Trend Micro
AntiVirus Library.
ISS Protection Strategy:
ISS has provided preemptive protection for these vulnerabilities. We
recommend that all customers apply applicable ISS product updates.
Network Sensor 7.0, Proventia A and G:
XPU 24.2 / 2/8/05
ARJ_Long_FileName_Detected
Proventia M:
XPU 1.41 / 2/8/05
ARJ_Long_FileName_Detected
Server Sensor 7.0:
XPU 24.2 / 2/8/05
ARJ_Long_FileName_Detected
Desktop Protector 7.0:
Version EOA / 2/8/05
ARJ_Long_FileName_Detected
BlackICE Agent for Server 3.6:
Version EOA / 2/8/05
ARJ_Long_FileName_Detected
These updates are now available from the ISS Download Center at:
http://www.iss.net/download.
Business Impact:
Compromise of antivirus protected networks and machines may lead to
exposure of confidential information, loss of productivity, and
further network compromise. Successful exploitation of this
vulnerability could be used to gain unauthorized access to networks
and machines being protected by Trend Micro AntiVirus Library product.
Implementations of Trend Micro AntiVirus Library are likely vulnerable
through common protocols, e.g. SMTP, HTTP, FTP. No authentication is
required for an attacker to leverage this vulnerability to compromise
an antivirus protected network or machine. It is likely Trend Micro
AntiVirus Library implementations are vulnerable in their default
configurations.

Note: Additional versions may be affected, please contact your
vendor for confirmation. In addition, several ISPs and vendors
also use Trend Micro AntiVirus Library and are likely vulnerable.
Description:
Trend Micro Antivirus Library is used to parse different file
formats to detect malware. One of the modules in Trend Micro
Antivirus Library parses the ARJ file format. Before ARJ
decompression, the library does not properly check the length of
main and local header file names. This file name is copied into a
heap buffer with a file name member allotted 0x200 bytes. While
the overall heap chunk is allocated enough space for this buffer,
there are various pointers in the structure that the attacker may
overwrite in order to gain control with immediate context. The
result is a non-standard arbitrary heap overflow with moderate
character restrictions.
This vulnerability can be triggered by an unauthenticated remote
attacker, without user interaction, by sending an e-mail containing
a crafted ARJ file to the target Trend Micro AntiVirus Library on
client, server, and gateway implementations. Additional attack
vectors exist over other common protocols (e.g. HTTP, FTP, POP3),
but some may require user interaction.
The ISS X-Press Updates detailed above have the ability to protect
against attack attempts targeted at Trend Micro products.
