// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/38044/info // Microsoft Windows is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability that occurs in the kernel. // An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will cause a denial of service. // -------------------------------------------------------- // Windows NtFilterToken() Double Free Vulnerability // ----------------------------- taviso@sdf.lonestar.org ------------ // // INTRODUCTION // //NtFilterToken() will jump to a cleanup routine if it failed to capture //the arguments specified due to pathological TOKEN_GROUP parameter. This //cleanup routine assumes a pointer passed to SeCaptureSidAndAttributesArray() //will be NULL if it fails, and attempts to release it otherwise. // //Unfortunately there is a codepath where SeCaptureSidAndAttributesArray() //allocates a buffer, releases it on error, but then does not set it to //NULL. This causes NtFilterToken() to incorrectly free it again. // // IMPACT // //This is probably exploitable (at least on MP kernels) to get ring0 code //execution, but you would have to get the released buffer re-allocated //during a very small window and you only get one attempt (the kernel //will bugcheck if you dont win the race). // //Although technically this is a local privilege escalation, I don't think //it's possible to create a reliable exploit. Therefore, It's probably //safe to treat this as if it were a denial of service. // //Interestingly, Microsoft are big proponents of static analysis and this //seems like a model example of a statically discoverable bug. I would //guess they're dissapointed they missed this one, it would be fun to //know what went wrong. // //This vulnerability was reported to Microsoft in October, 2009. // // CREDIT // //This bug was discovered by Tavis Ormandy <taviso@sdf.lonestar.org>. // #include <windows.h> PVOID AllocBufferOnPageBoundary(ULONG Size); int main(int argc, char **argv) { SID *Sid; HANDLE NewToken; FARPROC NtFilterToken; PTOKEN_GROUPS Restricted; // Resolve the required routine.
