Introduction:
=============
Mit dem Bildverwalter `Zoner PhotoStudio` sammeln Sie Ihre digitalen Fotos unter einer Oberfl�che. Die �bersichtliche Benutzeroberfl�che
von `Zoner PhotoStudio` und der gro�e Funktionsumfang machen es Ihnen einfach, Ihre Bilder zu versch�nern und mit Freunden zu teilen.
Eines der Highlights der Software ist die M�glichkeit, eigene 3D-Bilder zu entwerfen. Die fertigen Fotos k�nnen mit einer handels�blichen
3D-Brille dreidimensional bestaunt werden. Weiter k�nnen Sie Diashows anlegen, Ihre Bilder im Internet ver�ffentlichen oder Panorama-Fotos
erstellen, wobei Ihnen das Programm ganz unkompliziert unter die Arme greift.

Abstract:
=========
The Vulnerability Laboratory Research Team discovered multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities in the official Zoner Photo Studio Software v15 (b3).

Report-Timeline:
================
2012-11-13: Public Disclosure

Status:
========
Published

Affected Products:
==================
Zoner Software
Product: Zoner Photo Studio v15 Build 3

Exploitation-Technique:
=======================
Local

Severity:
=========
High

Details:
========
Multiple local buffer overflow vulnerabilities are detected in the in the official Zoner Photo Studio Software v15 (b3).
The bug allows local attackers to escalate out of the affected vulnerable software module with system process privileges.
The vulnerabilities are detected in 2 different software functions of the main executeable (zps.exe).

1.1
The first local buffer overflow vulnerability is located in the XML `Keyword Import (Schl�sselwort)` module. The xml
importer does not parse the length (values) of the string (name & description) when processing to import (buffer).
The result is a local exploitable stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability.

Vulnerable Module(s):
    [+] Setting(Einstellungen) > Keyword XML Import/Export (ZPS14Keywords.xml)

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
    [+] Name
    [+] Description

1.2
The secound vulnerability is located in the `Publizieren > Per Mail versenden` (STRG+UMS+M) module. The module allows an local user
to publish .zip compressed files. The archivname field does not filter or sanitize large inputs when processing to load  (buffer)
the compressed file name extensions. The result is a local exploitable stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability. 

Vulnerable Module(s):
    [+] Publizieren > Per Mail versenden > [Zip Comprimierung der Bilder]

Vulnerable Parameter(s):
    [+] Archivname

Proof of Concept:
=================
1.1
The buffer overflow vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with local privileged system user account and without required user inter action.

1.2
The buffer overflow vulnerability can be exploited by local attackers with low privileged system user account and without required user inter action.
For demonstration or reproduce ...

Manually Exploitation/Reproduce: Publizieren > Per Mail versenden > Zip Comprimierung der Bilder > Archivname + FILE.[ZIP] (STRG+UMS+M)

1. Install & start the Zoner Photo Studio Software
2. Click in the main menu the Publizieren button and open the Per Mail versenden function - < STRG+UMS+M >
3. Activate the Zip Compressed Pictures function (Zip Comprimierung der Bilder)
4. Now, you see the standard value (Dateien.zip)
5. Delete one of both words but do not delete the `.` because it is required for a not invalid submission (via OK Button)
6. Include the following example strings  Daten.[+Large String AAAAAA+]  or  [Large String AAAAAA+].zip and click OK!
7. *BAM! Result is a stack-based buffer overflow [overwrites the ebx & eip]
