DescriptionNVD

Sandboxie-Plus is an open source sandbox-based isolation software for Windows. In versions 1.17.2 and earlier, several ProcessServer handlers (KillAllHandler, SuspendAllHandler, and RunSandboxedHandler) copy a WCHAR boxname[34] field from request structures into WCHAR[40] stack buffers using wcscpy without verifying null termination. Because the service pipe accepts variable-length packets larger than the request structure, an attacker can fill the boxname field with non-zero data and append additional controlled wide characters after the structure. wcscpy then reads past the fixed field and overflows the destination stack buffer. The service pipe is created with a NULL DACL, allowing any local process to connect, and the unsafe copy occurs before authorization checks. This can lead to a crash of the SbieSvc service or potential code execution as SYSTEM. This issue has been fixed in version 1.17.3.

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in Sandboxie-Plus ProcessServer handlers allows local authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM or crash the SbieSvc service. The vulnerability affects versions 1.17.2 and earlier, stems from unsafe wcscpy operations on unchecked WCHAR fields from service pipe requests, and has been patched in version 1.17.3. …
