Writing Trojans that Bypass Windows XP Service Pack 2 Firewall
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
Windows XP Service Pack 2 incorporates many enhancements to try to better
protect systems from malware and other forms of attacks. One of those
layers of protection is the Windows XP SP2 Firewall. One of the features
of this Firewall is the ability to allow users to decide what applications
can listen on the network. By allowing users to control what applications
can communicate on the network, Microsoft believes that systems will be
protected against threats such as Trojans. Like so many things Microsoft
says, this is inaccurate and in fact it is very easy for locally executing
code to bypass the Windows Firewall. So don't worry you aspiring Trojan
developers, your still going to be able to Trojan consumer and corporate
systems to your hearts content.
Attached to this advisory is proof of concept code that demonstrates how a
Trojan could bind to a port and accept connections by piggybacking on the
inherent trust of sessmgr.exe. Simply compile this program and run it as
any local user. To test if the Firewall has been bypassed (it is!) telnet
from another machine to the target machine on port 333 and if your
connected, then you've successfully bypassed the Windows XP Service Pack 2
Firewall.
