20 CVE CODE EXECUTION

21 SEARCHING FOR THE VULNERABILITIES Webkit Integer Overflow near 2011 There is a buffer overflow vulnerability that was released in November 2010 but is still present on the BlackBerry. ( ). To exploit the vulnerability I have to set up the heap in a specifc way so I can overflow a specific structure on the heap. This structure is the internal representation for a piece of text on a website. The vulnerability is in the handling of the text nodes, so this is a good target to overflow. ( ) Once I have a stable way to organize the heap and reliably overflow the pointer to the functions, we can start testing. The first test attempts to redirect execution to code that already exists on the BlackBerry. Instead of the JavaScript nodetype call returning the value 3, I redirect it to existing code elsewhere that returns 0. Now I can control the execution flow in the browser. Willem Pinckaers -
