Re: Microsoft PlayReady WMRMECC256 Key / root key issue (attack #5)

Read Time:30 Second

Posted by Security Explorations on Aug 13

Hello All,

In my previous post, I shamefully confused two root keys (WMRMECC256
and ECC256MSBCertRootIssuer) while decribing the issue pertaining to
one of them.

The key exploited in the attack is called ECC256MSBCertRootIssuer Key
(not the WMRMECC256) and is identified by the following public
component:

86 4D 61 CF F2 25 6E 42 2C 56 8B 3C 28 00 1C FB
3E 15 27 65 85 84 BA 05 21 B7 9B 18 28 D9 36 DE

USN-6958-1: Libcroco vulnerabilities

Read Time:38 Second

It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly accessing data structures
when reading bytes from memory, which could cause a heap buffer overflow.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-7960)

It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly handling invalid UTF-8
values when processing CSS files. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-8834, CVE-2017-8871)

It was discovered that Libcroco was incorrectly implementing recursion in
one of its parsing functions, which could cause an infinite recursion
loop and a stack overflow due to stack consumption. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-12825)
