IKARUS anti.virus and its 9 exploitable kernel vulnerabilities

Here is a list of the 9 kernel vulnerabilities I discovered over a month ago in an antivirus product called IKARUS anti.virus which has finally been fixed. Most of the vulnerabilities were due to the inputted output buffer address (Irp->UserBuffer) being saved on the stack which is later used without being validated when using as an argument. The table below lists the ioctls, related CVE and type of vulnerability

IOCTL CVE ID Vulnerability Type 0x8300000c CVE-2017-14961 Arbitrary Write 0x83000058 CVE-2017-14962 Out of Bounds Write 0x83000058 CVE-2017-14963 Arbitrary Write 0x8300005c CVE-2017-14964 Arbitrary Write 0x830000cc CVE-2017-14965 Arbitrary Write 0x830000c0 CVE-2017-14966 Arbitrary Write 0x83000080 CVE-2017-14967 Arbitrary Write 0x830000c4 CVE-2017-14968 Arbitrary Write 0x83000084 CVE-2017-14969 Arbitrary Write

Fixed version numbers (vendors advisory soon to be released )

Vulnerable version Fixed version Software 2.16.7 2.16.18 ntguard.sys 0.18780.0.0 0.43.0.0 ntguard_x64.sys 0.18780.0.0 0.43.0.0

I’m exploiting the vulnerable subroutine used by ioctl 0x8300000c by overwriting the _SEP_TOKEN_PRIVILEGES structure where arg_20 is our inputted output buffer address.

In our process _SEP_TOKEN_PRIVILEGES structure I’m overwriting a byte in the “Present” field and a byte in the “Enabled” field with the hardcoded value of 0x11 by calling the vulnerable subroutine twice.

DeviceIoControl(hDevice, 0x8300000c, NULL, 0, (LPVOID)PresentByteOffset, 0, &dwRetBytes, NULL); DeviceIoControl(hDevice, 0x8300000c, NULL, 0, (LPVOID)EnableByteOffset, 0, &dwRetBytes, NULL);

The exploit can be downloaded from here [zip] or from Exploit-DB when it gets published.
