Microsoft Windows .LNK Vulnerability



Original release date: July 16, 2010 at 10:08 am

Last revised: July 21, 2010 at 8:49 am





US-CERT is aware of a vulnerability affecting Microsoft Windows. This

vulnerability is due to the failure of Microsoft Windows to properly

obtain icons for .LNK files. Microsoft uses .LNK files, commonly

referred to as "shortcuts," as references to files or applications.



By convincing a user to display a specially crafted .LNK file, an

attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code that would give the

attacker the privileges of the user. Viewing the location of an .LNK

file with Windows Explorer is sufficient to trigger the vulnerability.

By default, Microsoft Windows has AutoRun/AutoPlay features enabled.

These features can cause Windows to automatically open Windows

Explorer when a removable drive is connected, thus opening the

location of the .LNK and triggering the vulnerability. Other

applications that display file icons can be used as an attack vector

for this vulnerability as well. Depending on the operating system and

AutoRun/AutoPlay configuration, exploitation can occur without any

interaction from the user. This vulnerability can also be exploited

remotely through a malicious website, or through a malicious file or

WebDAV share.



Microsoft has released Microsoft Security Advisory 2286198 in response

to this issue. Users are encouraged to review the advisory and

consider implementing the workarounds listed to reduce the threat of

known attack vectors. Please note that implementing these workarounds

may affect functionality. The workarounds include

* disabling the display of icons for shortcuts

* disabling the WebClient service

* blocking the download of .LNK and .PIF files from the internet



Update: Microsoft has released a tool, Microsoft Fix it 50486, to

assist users in disabling .LNK and .PIF file functionality. Users and

administrators are encouraged to review Microsoft Knowledgebase

article 2286198 and use the tool or the interactive method provided in

the article to disable .LNK and .PIF functionality until a security

update is provided by the vendor.



In addition to implementing the workarounds listed in Microsoft

Security Advisory 2286198, US-CERT encourages users and administrators

to consider implementing the following best practice security measures

to help further reduce the risks of this and other vulnerabilities:

* Disable AutoRun as described in Microsoft Support article 967715.

* Implement the principle of least privilege as defined in the

Microsoft TechNet Library.

* Maintain up-to-date antivirus software.

VU#940193.



US-CERT will provide additional information as it becomes available.
