Vulnerability Note VU#867968 
Microsoft Windows SMB Tree Connect Response memory corruption vulnerability

Original Release date: 02 Feb 2017 | Last revised: 02 Feb 2017

Overview

Microsoft Windows contains a memory corruption bug in the handling of SMB 
traffic, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial
of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

Description

Microsoft Windows fails to properly handle traffic from a malicious server. In
particular, Windows fails to properly handle a server response that contains 
too many bytes following the structure defined in the SMB2 TREE_CONNECT 
Response structure. By connecting to a malicious SMB server, a vulnerable 
Windows client system may crash (BSOD) in mrxsmb20.sys. It is not clear at 
this point whether this vulnerability may be exploitable beyond a 
denial-of-service attack. We have confirmed the crash with fully-patched 
Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 client systems.

Note that there are a number of techniques that can be used to trigger a 
Windows system to connect to an SMB share. Some may require little to no user
interaction.

Exploit code for this vulnerability is publicly available.

Impact

By causing a Windows system to connect to a malicious SMB share, a remote 
attacker may be able to cause a denial of service or potentially execute 
arbitrary code with Windows kernel privileges.

Solution

The CERT/CC is currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem. 
Please consider the following workarounds:

Block outbound SMB

Consider blocking outbound SMB connections (TCP ports 139 and 445 along with 
UDP ports 137 and 138) from the local network to the WAN.
