[Full-disclosure] Comodo DLL injection via weak hash function exploitation Vulnerability

[Matousec - Transparent security Research <research@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

We would like to inform you about a vulnerability in Comodo Firewall Pro.


Description:

Comodo Firewall Pro (former Comodo Personal Firewall) implements a component 
control, which is based on a checksum 
comparison of process modules. Probably to achieve a better performance, cyclic 
redundancy check (CRC32) is used as a 
checksum function in its implementation. However, CRC32 was developed for error 
detection purposes and can not be used 
as a reliable cryptographic hashing function because it is possible to generate 
collisions in real time. The character 
of CRC32 allows attacker to construct a malicious module with the same CRC32 
checksum as a chosen trusted module in the 
target system and thus bypass the protection of the component control.


Vulnerable software:

     * Comodo Firewall Pro 2.4.17.183
     * Comodo Firewall Pro 2.4.16.174
     * Comodo Personal Firewall 2.3.6.81
     * probably all older versions of Comodo Personal Firewall 2
     * possibly older versions of Comodo Personal Firewall


More details and a proof of concept including its source code are available
