Internet Explorer 10 and 11 ASLR Bypass

IdentifiersCVE-2015-0069CWE-693

CVE-2015-0069 is a security feature bypass vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and 11. According to the provided content, a remote attacker can use a crafted website to bypass Internet Explorer's Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism. Microsoft addressed this issue as part of Security Update 3034682, which included changes to improve Internet Explorer's implementation of the ASLR security feature. The available content does not provide the specific vulnerable function or code path.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to defeat ASLR protections in the affected Internet Explorer process. By bypassing ASLR, an attacker can make memory corruption exploitation more reliable and use the issue as part of a broader exploit chain. On its own, this type of vulnerability is a security feature bypass rather than direct code execution, but it materially increases the likelihood of successful follow-on exploitation, including remote code execution when chained with another flaw.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

The provided content does not list a specific workaround for CVE-2015-0069. General exposure reduction measures supported by the content include limiting browsing to untrusted content, reducing user privileges to lessen impact from chained exploitation, and relying on Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration on supported Windows Server platforms, which reduces exposure to specially crafted web content. These measures mitigate exposure but do not remediate the vulnerability.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply Microsoft's Security Update 3034682 for the affected Internet Explorer versions. The provided content states that for Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11, both update 3021952 and update 3034196 were required for full protection, and Microsoft noted that update 3021952 should be installed before 3034196 when installed manually. Organizations should ensure all related prerequisite and companion updates identified by Microsoft are installed on affected platforms.
