Borland CaliberRM StarTeam Multicast Service Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://www.borland.com/us/products/caliber/index.html> Borland CaliberRM
is "an enterprise software requirements management system. It is part of
Borland's distributed development and deployment solution". Remote
exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Borland Software
Corp.'s CaliberRM enterprise software requirements management system could
allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM level privileges.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Borland CaliberRM 2006 (file version 9.0.809.000) - StarTeam Multicast
Service version 6.4
This vulnerability exists in the StarTeam Multicast Service component
(STMulticastService). This service is implemented using the HTTP protocol.
The vulnerable function, PGMWebHandler::parse_request, is shown below.
.text:003AA15D call PGMWebHandler::parse_request(char const *,uint,char
*,uint,http_request_info_t &)
...
.text:003AA35E loc_3AA35E:
.text:003AA35E mov al, [ebx]
.text:003AA360 cmp al, 0Ah
.text:003AA362 mov [edx], al ; edx points to the stack, overflowable
because of the loop
.text:003AA364 jnz loc_3AA4EF
...
.text:003AA36A mov byte ptr [edx+1], 0
.text:003AA36E mov al, byte ptr [esp+618h+lbuff]
.text:003AA372 cmp al, 0Dh
.text:003AA374 jz loc_3AA509
...
.text:003AA4F0 loc_3AA4F0:
.text:003AA4F0 mov eax, [esp+618h+count]
.text:003AA4F4 mov ecx, [esp+618h+req_len]
.text:003AA4FB inc ebx
.text:003AA4FC inc eax
.text:003AA4FD cmp eax, ecx
.text:003AA4FF mov [esp+618h+count], eax
.text:003AA503 jl loc_3AA35E ; loop back up
While searching for the standard 0x0a0d that ends HTTP requests, a loop
copies attacker supplied data byte by byte into a fixed-size stack buffer.
If a large enough request is sent, the return address, SEH pointers, and
other stack data is overwritten.
Analysis:
Exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM level
privileges. In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker would have
to send malicious data to the STMulticastService service listening on TCP
port 3057.
The StarTeam Multicast service is not installed by default with CaliberRM
2006. The user must enable MPX Events and the StarTeam Message Broker
option during the installation process.
Workaround:
In order to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability, administrators can
disable the Multicast Service monitoring port. For more information
consult Borland's Knowledge Base at the following URL:

http://support.borland.com/kbshow.php?q=29083
Vendor response:
Borland Software Corp. has not responded to repeated inquiries regarding
this vulnerability. iDefense Labs confirmed that the current version
(Borland CaliberRM 2008) still contains the vulnerable code. However, the
monitoring port appears to be disabled in a default installation.
