IPD Local System Denial of Service
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The <http://www.pedestalsoftware.com/> IPD (Integrity protection driver)
is "an Open Source device driver designed to prohibit the installation of
new services and drivers and to protect existing driver from tampering. It
installs on Windows NT and Windows 2000 computers".
In its security approach IPD hooks some kernel mode functions and filters
them allowing or not their original purposes based on IPD's security
policy.
IPD suffers from an invalidated pointer referencing in some of this kernel
hooks.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* IPD versions up to 1.4
Technical description:
The IPD (Integrity protection driver) is an Open Source device driver
designed to prohibit the installation of new services and drivers and to
protect existing driver from tampering. It installs on Windows NT and
Windows 2000 computers.
In its security approach IPD hooks some kernel mode functions and filters
them allowing or not their original purposes based on IPD's security
policy.
IPD suffers from some invalidated pointer referencing in some of this
kernel hooks. In example IPD hooks ZwOpenSection declared as follows:
NTSTATUS ZwOpenSection(HANDLE Handle, DWORD mask, DWORD oa);
The problem exists because IPD does not properly check whether "oa"
pointer is valid or not. Any local and unauthorized user can crash the.
Recommendations:
Since the vendor has discontinued the development and support of IPD,
NGSEC recomends to uninstall IPD.
