is it? If I recall correctly, the hexview advisory was the result of something like a word-to-byte truncation followed by a byte sign-extension (but its been long enough that I may be misremembering it)
In this advisory it was not entirely clear what the condition was, from what I remember reading of it the other day, it didn't get into how/why, it just like used ecx or a register as a counter but didn't show how it came to that value? Whats interesting is that the hexview patching the bug itself is trivial from the assembly (not taking into account the work encountered from bin patching itself) and I know many organizations attempted to put a lot of pressure to get it patched and failed to do so On Sun, 18 Nov 2007, Juha-Matti Laurio wrote: > Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2007 01:58:02 +0200 (EET) > From: Juha-Matti Laurio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: CaseArmour.net Security Administrator <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > bugtraq@securityfocus.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED], > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Microsoft Jet Engine MDB File Parsing Stack > Overflow Vulnerability > > There is a well-known unpatched code execution type vulnerability reported > originally in msjet40.dll version 4.00.8618.0 too. > This issue reported by HexView is known since March 2005: > > http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12960 > http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-0944 > > We probably don't see a fix for this issue. > > - Juha-Matti > > "CaseArmour.net Security Administrator" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> kirjoitti: > > It would be useful to know if this is also an issue with msjet40.dll > > 4.0.9510.0 (Windows Server 2003 SP2 + hotfixes).
