Microsoft Security Bulletin MS12-027 - Critical
Vulnerability in Windows Common Controls Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2664258)

Published: Tuesday, April 10, 2012

Version: 1.0
General Information
Executive Summary

This security update resolves a privately disclosed vulnerability in Windows common controls. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user visits a website containing specially crafted content designed to exploit the vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit such a website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker's website. The malicious file could be sent as an email attachment as well, but the attacker would have to convince the user to open the attachment in order to exploit the vulnerability.

This security update is rated Critical for all supported Microsoft software that included the Windows common controls in their default installations. This includes all supported editions of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007; Microsoft Office 2010 (except x64-based editions); Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (except Itanium-based editions), Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (except Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, but including Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services), Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002, Microsoft Commerce Server 2002, Microsoft Commerce Server 2007, Microsoft Commerce Server 2009, Microsoft Commerce Server 2009 R2, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 8.0, Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0, and Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.

The security update addresses the vulnerability by disabling the vulnerable version of the Windows common controls and replacing it with a new version that does not contain the vulnerability. For more information about the vulnerability, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) subsection for the specific vulnerability entry under the next section, Vulnerability Information.

MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0158

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Windows common controls. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted webpage. When a user views the webpage, the vulnerability could allow remote code execution. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user.

To view this vulnerability as a standard entry in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list, see CVE-2012-0158.
Mitigating Factors for MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0158

Mitigation refers to a setting, common configuration, or general best-practice, existing in a default state, that could reduce the severity of exploitation of a vulnerability. The following mitigating factors may be helpful in your situation:

    * In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website that contains a web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these websites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit the website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or Instant Messenger message that takes them to the attacker's website.
    * The malicious file could be sent as an email attachment, but the attacker would have to convince the user to open the attachment in order to exploit the vulnerability.
    * An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

Top of section
Workarounds for MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0158

Workaround refers to a setting or configuration change that does not correct the underlying vulnerability but would help block known attack vectors before you apply the update. Microsoft has tested the following workarounds and states in the discussion whether a workaround reduces functionality:

    * Do not open Microsoft Office and WordPad documents from untrusted sources

      Do not open Microsoft Office or Rich Text Format (.rtf) files that you receive from untrusted sources or that you receive unexpectedly from trusted sources. This vulnerability could be exploited when a user opens a specially crafted file.
    * Prevent the vulnerable ActiveX controls from being run in Internet Explorer

      You can disable attempts to instantiate the MSCOMCTL.TreeView, MSCOMCTL.ListView2, MSCOMCTL.TreeView2, and MSCOMCTL.ListView controls in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the controls in the registry.

      Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

      For detailed steps that you can use to prevent a control from running in Internet Explorer, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797. Follow the steps in the article to create a Compatibility Flags value in the registry to prevent a COM object from being instantiated in Internet Explorer.

      To set the kill bit for the MSCOMCTL.TreeView, MSCOMCTL.ListView2, MSCOMCTL.TreeView2, and MSCOMCTL.ListView controls in the registry, follow these steps:
         1. Create a text file named Disable_MSCOMCTL.reg with the following contents:

            Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{C74190B6-8589-11d1-B16A-00C0F0283628}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{C74190B6-8589-11d1-B16A-00C0F0283628}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{996BF5E0-8044-4650-ADEB-0B013914E99C}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{996BF5E0-8044-4650-ADEB-0B013914E99C}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{9181DC5F-E07D-418A-ACA6-8EEA1ECB8E9E}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{9181DC5F-E07D-418A-ACA6-8EEA1ECB8E9E}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{bdd1f04b-858b-11d1-b16a-00c0f0283628}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
            [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{bdd1f04b-858b-11d1-b16a-00c0f0283628}]
            "Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
         2. Double-click the .reg file to apply it to an individual system.
            Note You must restart Internet Explorer for your changes to take effect.

            You can also apply it across domains by using Group Policy. For more information about Group Policy, see the TechNet article, Group Policy collection.

FAQ for MSCOMCTL.OCX RCE Vulnerability - CVE-2012-0158

What is the scope of the vulnerability? 
This is a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system under the context of the current user.

What causes the vulnerability? 
The vulnerability is caused when the ActiveX controls, while being used in Internet Explorer, corrupts the system state in such a way as to allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

What are the Windows common controls? 
Windows Common Controls are ActiveX controls contained in the MSCOMCTL.OCX file. The vulnerable ActiveX controls are MSCOMCTL.TreeView, MSCOMCTL.ListView2, MSCOMCTL.TreeView2, and MSCOMCTL.ListView.

What might an attacker use the vulnerability to do? 
An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the logged-on user. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.

How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability? 
An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. This can include compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. Such websites could contain specially crafted content designed to exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these websites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit a website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger request that takes them to the attacker's website. Then, specially crafted web content could be used to exploit the vulnerability on affected systems.

What systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability? 
Workstations and terminal servers are primarily at risk. Servers could be at more risk if administrators allow users to log on to servers and to run programs. However, best practices strongly discourage allowing this.

I am running SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008, which patches apply to my environment? 
By default, supported versions of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 default installations include the Windows common controls. Microsoft Update will automatically detect and deploy the Windows common controls packages to these supported versions of Microsoft SQL server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.

Which components of Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007, and Microsoft Office 2010 require updating to mitigate this vulnerability? 
Because the affected binary is a shared component across multiple Microsoft Office products, the update is applicable to your installation of Microsoft Office if Microsoft Update detects that the vulnerable version of MSCOMCTL.OCX is present in your installation. The update targets specific versions of Microsoft Office, not specific Microsoft Office components.

What does the update do? 
The update addresses the vulnerability by disabling the vulnerable version of the Windows common controls. It does this by setting the kill bit for the following class identifiers hosted in the library files:

{bdd1f04b-858b-11d1-b16a-00c0f0283628}
{996BF5E0-8044-4650-ADEB-0B013914E99C}
{C74190B6-8589-11d1-B16A-00C0F0283628}
{9181DC5F-E07D-418A-ACA6-8EEA1ECB8E9E}

The update also replaces the vulnerable version of the Windows common controls with a new version that does not contain the vulnerability.

What is a kill bit? 
A security feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer makes it possible to prevent an ActiveX control from ever being loaded by the Internet Explorer HTML-rendering engine. This is done by making a registry setting and is referred to as setting the kill bit. After the kill bit is set, the control can never be loaded, even when it is fully installed. Setting the kill bit makes sure that even if a vulnerable component is introduced or is re-introduced to a system, it remains inert and harmless.

For more information on kill bits, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797: How to stop an ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer.

When this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed? 
No. Microsoft received information about this vulnerability through coordinated vulnerability disclosure.

When this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited? 
Yes. Microsoft is aware of limited, targeted attacks attempting to exploit the vulnerability. However, when the security bulletin was released, Microsoft had not seen any examples of proof of concept code published.

Note Microsoft discontinued support for SMS 2.0 on April 12, 2011. For SMS 2003, Microsoft also discontinued support for the Security Update Inventory Tool (SUIT) on April 12, 2011. Customers are encouraged to upgrade to System Center Configuration Manager 2007. For customers remaining on SMS 2003 Service Pack 3, the Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) is also an option.

For SMS 2003, the SMS 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) can be used by SMS to detect security updates that are offered by Microsoft Update and that are supported by Windows Server Update Services. For more information about the SMS 2003 ITMU, see SMS 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates. For more information about SMS scanning tools, see SMS 2003 Software Update Scanning Tools. See also Downloads for Systems Management Server 2003.

System Center Configuration Manager 2007 uses WSUS 3.0 for detection of updates. For more information about Configuration Manager 2007 Software Update Management, visit System Center Configuration Manager 2007.

For more information about SMS, visit the SMS website.

For more detailed information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 910723: Summary list of monthly detection and deployment guidance articles.

Note for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 The detection table described above is based on single-server Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 deployments. The detection tools do not detect the applicability of the update on systems configured as part of a multiple-system SharePoint server farms.

Note If you have used an Administrative Installation Point (AIP) for deploying Office XP or Office 2003, you may not be able to deploy the update using SMS if you have updated the AIP from the original baseline. For more information, see the Office Administrative Installation Point heading in this section.

Office Administrative Installation Point

If you installed your application from a server location, the server administrator must update the server location with the administrative update and deploy that update to your system.

    * For supported versions of Microsoft Office XP, see Creating an Administrative Installation Point. For more information on how to change the source for a client system from an updated administrative installation point to an Office XP original baseline source, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 922665.

      Note If you plan to manage software updates centrally from an updated administrative image, you can find more information in the article Updating Office XP Clients from a Patched Administrative Image.
    * For supported versions of Microsoft Office 2003, see Creating an Administrative Installation Point. For more information on how to change the source for a client computer from an updated administrative installation point to an Office 2003 original baseline source or Service Pack 3 (SP3), see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 902349.

      Note If you plan to manage software updates centrally from an updated administrative image, you can find more information in the article, Distributing Office 2003 Product Updates.
    * For creating a network installation point for supported versions of Microsoft Office, see Create a network installation point for Microsoft Office.

      Note If you plan to manage security updates centrally, use Windows Server Update Services. For more information about how to deploy security updates for Microsoft Office, visit the Windows Server Update Services website.

Update Compatibility Evaluator and Application Compatibility Toolkit

Updates often write to the same files and registry settings required for your applications to run. This can trigger incompatibilities and increase the time it takes to deploy security updates. You can streamline testing and validating Windows updates against installed applications with the Update Compatibility Evaluator components included with Application Compatibility Toolkit.

The Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) contains the necessary tools and documentation to evaluate and mitigate application compatibility issues before deploying Windows Vista, a Windows Update, a Microsoft Security Update, or a new version of Windows Internet Explorer in your environment.

/passive	Unattended Setup mode. No user interaction is required, but installation status is displayed. If a restart is required at the end of Setup, a dialog box will be presented to the user with a timer warning that the computer will restart in 30 seconds.
/quiet	Quiet mode. This is the same as unattended mode, but no status or error messages are displayed.
Restart Options
/norestart	Does not restart when installation has completed
/forcerestart	Restarts the computer after installation and force other applications to close at shutdown without saving open files first.
/warnrestart[:x]	Presents a dialog box with a timer warning the user that the computer will restart in x seconds. (The default setting is 30 seconds.) Intended for use with the /quiet switch or the /passive switch.
/promptrestart	Display a dialog box prompting the local user to allow a restart
Special Options
/overwriteoem	Overwrites OEM files without prompting
/nobackup	Does not back up files needed for uninstall
/forceappsclose	Forces other programs to close when the computer shuts down
/log:path	Allows the redirection of installation log files
/integrate:path	Integrates the update into the Windows source files. These files are located at the path that is specified in the switch.

/q:a	Specifies administrator-quiet mode, which does not present any dialog boxes to the user.
/t:path	Specifies the target folder for extracting files.
/c	Extracts the files without installing them. If /t:path is not specified, you are prompted for a target folder.
/c:path	Overrides the install command that is defined by author. Specifies the path and name of the Setup.inf or .exe file.
/r:n	Never restarts the system after installation.
/r:I	Prompts the user to restart the system if a restart is required, except when used with /q:a.

For more information about the supported installation switches, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 262841. For more information about the Package Installer, visit the Microsoft TechNet website.

Removing the Update

To remove this security update, use the Add or Remove Programs tool in Control Panel.

Verifying That the Update Has Been Applied

    * Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

      To verify that a security update has been applied to an affected system, you can use the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool. MBSA allows administrators to scan local and remote systems for missing security updates and for common security misconfigurations. For more information about MBSA, visit the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer website.
    * File Version Verification

      Because there are several versions and editions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your system. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.
         1. Click Start, and then click Search.
         2. In the Search Results pane, click All files and folders under Search Companion.
         3. In the All or part of the file name box, type a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Search.
         4. In the list of files, right-click a file name from the appropriate file information table, and then click Properties.

            Note Depending on the version of the operating system or programs installed, some of the files that are listed in the file information table may not be installed.
         5. On the Version tab, determine the version of the file that is installed on your system by comparing it to the version that is documented in the appropriate file information table.

            Note Attributes other than the file version may change during installation. Comparing other file attributes to the information in the file information table is not a supported method of verifying that the update has been applied. Also, in certain cases, files may be renamed during installation. If the file or version information is not present, use one of the other available methods to verify update installation.
