Technical Details & Description:
================================
Multiple stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities has been discovered in
the official Internet Download Manager v6.37.11.1 software.
The bufer overflow allows to overwrite registers of the process to
compromise the file-system by elevates local process privileges.

1.1
The first stack buffer overflows is located in the `search` function of
the downloads menu. The search function itself does not use
any secure restriction in the requested search variable of the inputs.
Local attackers with access to the software are able to overflow
the registers to elevate local process privileges. Thus allows a local
attacker to compromise the local computer- or file-system.

1.2
The second stack buffer overflows is located in the `Export/Import`
function of the tasks menu. Local users are able to import and
export the download tasks as *.ef2 file. Local attackers are able to
import manipulated *.ef2 files with manipulated referer and
source url to overwrite the eip register. The issue occurs because of
the insufficient ef2 filetype (context) validation process
that does not perform any length restrictions.

The security risk of the local stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities in
the software are estimated as high with a cvss count of 7.1.
Exploitation of the buffer overflow vulnerability requires a low
privilege or restricted system user account without user interaction.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in overwrite of the
active registers to compromise of the computer system or process.

Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Search
[+] Import/Export (ef2)


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
1.1
The stack buffer overflow vulnerability can be exploited by local
attackers with system user privileges without user interaction.
For security demonstration or to reproduce the local vulnerability
follow the provided information and steps below to continue.


Manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability ...
1. Open the software
2. Click the downloads menu and open the search
3. Inject a large unicode payload inside the search input field and transmit
4. The software crashs with several uncaught exception because of
overwritten register (0168D8F0)
5. Successful reproduce of the local buffer overflow vulnerability!
