Security researcher acknowledgement Hello, I'm writing to let you know that the security researcher acknowledgement for the issue we recently reported to you is now up at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/dn613815 Thank you again for tending to our report in a timely manner. Mollie MSVR -Original Message- From: boun...@canonical.com [mailto:boun...@canonical.com] On Behalf Of Seth Arnold Sent: Friday, May 9, 2014 3:25 PM To: Microsoft Vulnerability Research Subject: [Bug 1313194] Re: Bochs Multiple Vulnerabilities Mollie, please feel free to publish, however I still believe that someone who does not inspect a .bxrc before using it is running larger risks due to the intentional features of the file format rather than the unintentional bugs found and disclosed here. The similar report on OSVDB for VMWare Player expresses a similar sentiment: EMC VMware Player contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when a user loads a .vmx file containing an ide1:0.fileName parameter with an overly long value, and will result in loss of availability for the the VMware instace. However, for an attacker to gain access and edit the .vmx file, it would require a level of access that would allow a wide variety of attacks. This level of access is considered to be trusted and not readily available to someone looking to launch this type of attack. From http://osvdb.com/show/osvdb/27524.

Bochs can be compiled to emulate many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMD processors which may even not reached the market yet. Vulnerability Description Two vulnerabilities were found in Bochs’s parsing of bxrc files (configuration), a format string vulnerability and a stack corruption vulnerability. Both of these could potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running Bochs. Technical Details I tested Bochs by running boches.exe -q -f [bxrc-file].

[Bug 1313194] Re: Bochs Multiple Vulnerabilities
Mollie, please feel free to publish, however I still believe that someone who does not inspect a .bxrc before using it is running larger risks due to the intentional features of the file format rather than the unintentional bugs found and disclosed here. The similar report on OSVDB for VMWare Player expresses a similar sentiment: EMC VMware Player contains a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when a user loads a .vmx file containing an ide1:0.fileName parameter with an overly long value, and will result in loss of availability for the the VMware instace. However, for an attacker to gain access and edit the .vmx file, it would require a level of access that would allow a wide variety of attacks. This level of access is considered to be trusted and not readily available to someone looking to launch this type of attack. From http://osvdb.com/show/osvdb/27524.

[Bug 1313194] Re: Bochs Multiple Vulnerabilities
Response from our finder: I’ve saw that they’re replied to this bug and deemed it not a security issue. I don’t agree with that, as their reason is they’re saying bxrc is a config file. Of course it is, but it’s part of the packaging for a virtual machine. Example: If I packaged up a test.img with a malicious test.bxrc, got an user to download my TestOS package and run it in Bochs, the target could be exploited. I don’t see much difference between a VMware VMX file and a Bochs BXRC file, both are vm config files and if these issues were present VMware’s parsing of a VMX file, they’d treat it (as they have in the past) as a serious security issue: http://osvdb.com/search/search?search%5Bvuln_title%5D=vmware+vmxsearch%5Btext_type%5D=alltextsearch%5Brefid%5D=search%5Breferencetypes%5D=kthx=search -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313194 Title: Bochs Multiple Vulnerabilities To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bochs/+bug/1313194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with upstream and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.

RE: [Bug 1313194] Re: Bochs Multiple Vulnerabilities
From finder: I don’t think this could be triggered from within the emulated system (eg. guest-to-host escape), but I didn’t look further into that. Its primary attack vector that I describe in the report is loading a guest with a malformed bxrc file, which may be what he’s indirectly referring to as the image file.

[Bug 1313194] Re: Bochs Multiple Vulnerabilities
Thanks for the additional details; I do not think this would be a security problem but rather just regular bugs -- the configuration file is similar to typing command line arguments at the shell, since they can specify to write to any file the user has access to, or pass-through PCI devices from the host to guests.
