Re: KeePass version 2.12 <= Insecure DLL Hijacking Vulnerability (dwmapi.dll)

From: Christian Sciberras <uuf6429 () gmail com>

I've tested on Clean Licensed Windows 7 Professional Edition 64-bit
with latest windows updates applied (as of Today -sept 09 2010).

Could be a virus/trojan from my XP machine might have caused some form
of immunity against this issue?
And perhaps my extensive meddling and customization somehow modify the
Windows 7 install beyond normal limits?
I very much doubt this. I used both bitness demos for what it's worth.


Should I make movie to prove that like

Up till step 2 everything went fine. Step 3 went a little differently
- wab.exe opened, but no popup box opened with it.

Considering Acros highlighted how their POC was highly unstable
(they've frequently advised to try the program several times to get it
to work) I don't see such abnormal behaviour out of this world.

One last thing, rather than just running a random POC I've actually
looked into what's going on, via Process Monitor, and as far as it's
concerned, it always loaded the correct (ie, the original) dlls.

Cheers,
Chris.

1- Updating Windows (check for updates) ,
2 - Go to \\www.binaryplanting.com\demo\windows_address_book_64
3 - See the popup box

That is what others said, yet it installed automatically on mine.
The only interaction was that I allowed it to be downloaded and
installed....not really geeky at all...

I must say you'll have to take my word on it.

MS issued a patch quite some time ago.

That is not a "patch", not installed by default: is only for
uber-geeks who manually install it. Was issued a week ago, in
response to this kerfuffle, not "quite some time ago".

Which setting of CWDIllegalInDllSearch did you choose: was it
0xFFFFFFFF which may be "safe", but is known to break Outlook
(and others), as noted in

(geeks can add further tweaks to the registry to fix).
