Severity: Medium
Vulnerability Published: 2014-02-25
Patch Published: 2014-03-11
CVE [?]: CVE-2014-0981, CVE-2014-0983
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:oracle:vm_virtualbox

Synopsis

The remote host has an application that is affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host contains a version of Oracle VM VirtualBox that is 3.2.x prior to 3.2.22, 4.0.24, 4.1.32, 4.2.24 or 4.3.8. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An input validation error exists in the function 'crNetRecvReadback' in the file 'GuestHost/OpenGL/util/net.c' related to handling CR_MESSAGE_READBACK and CR_MESSAGE_WRITEBACK messages that could allow memory corruption leading to application crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0981)

- An input validation error exists related to the Chromium server and the handling of CR_VERTEXATTRIB4NUBARB_OPCODE messages that could allow memory corruption leading to application crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-0983)

Solution

Upgrade Oracle VM VirtualBox to 3.2.22 / 4.0.24 / 4.1.32 / 4.2.24 / 4.3.8 or later.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, Core Impact)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the Oracle VM VirtualBox < 3.2.22 / 4.0.24 / 4.1.32 / 4.2.24 / 4.3.8 Multiple Memory Corruption vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/windows/local/virtual_box_opengl_escape
[VirtualBox 3D Acceleration Virtual Machine Escape]
Exploit-DB: exploits/multiple/dos/32208.txt
[EDB-32208: Oracle VM VirtualBox - 3D Acceleration Multiple Vulnerabilities]
Exploit-DB: exploits/windows_x86-64/remote/34334.rb
[EDB-34334: Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.3.6 - 3D Acceleration Virtual Machine Escape (Metasploit)]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.
