Panda Internet Security/Antivirus+Firewall 2008 cpoint.sys Kernel Driver
Memory Corruption
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The kernel driver cpoint.sys shipped with Panda Internet Security and
Antivirus+Firewall 2008 contains a vulnerability in the code that handles
IOCTL requests. Exploitation of this vulnerability can result in:
1) Local denial of service attacks (system crash due to a kernel panic),
or
2) Local execution of arbitrary code at the kernel level (complete system
compromise)
The issue can be triggered by sending a specially crafted IOCTL request.
No special user rights are necessary to exploit the vulnerability.
DETAILS
The IOCTL call 0xba002848 of the cpoint.sys kernel driver shipped with
Panda Internet Security/Antivirus+Firewall 2008 accepts user supplied
input that doesn't get validated enough. In consequence it is possible to
cause an out-of-bound write in kernel memory.
Disassembly of cpoint.sys (Windows Vista 32bit version):

(1) Vulnerable IOCTL call
(2) IOCTL input size check
(3) The user supplied data is copied into esi
(4) + (5) Minor input data checks
From this point there are two different vulnerable code paths. Both willbe described in the following:
Vulnerable code path 1:
[...]
text:00012906 lea ecx, [esi+0Ch] <-- (6)
[...]
text:00012909 loc_12909:
text:00012909 mov edx, [ecx] <-- (7)
text:0001290B mov OVERWRITTEN_DATA[eax*4], edx <--
(8)
text:00012912 inc eax
text:00012913 add ecx, 4
text:00012916 cmp eax, [esi+8] <-- (9)
text:00012919 jb short loc_12909
[...]
(6) Some user controlled data is copied into ecx
(7) The user controlled data is copied into edx
(8) The user controlled data is copied (as dwords) at the memory location
OVERWRITTEN_DATA
(9) The size of the copied data (loop counter in eax) can be controlled by
the user
This leads to an out-of-bound write in kernel memory.
Vulnerable code path 2:
[...]
text:0001291B loc_1291B:
text:0001291B xor eax, eax
text:0001291D cmp [esi+10Ch], eax <-- (10)
text:00012923 jbe loc_129B4
[...]
text:00012929 lea ecx, [esi+110h] <-- (11)
[...]
text:0001292F loc_1292F:
text:0001292F mov edx, [ecx] <-- (12)
text:00012931 mov OVERWRITTEN_DATA2[eax*4], edx <--
(13)
text:00012938 inc eax
text:00012939 add ecx, 4
text:0001293C cmp eax, [esi+10Ch] <-- (14)
text:00012942 jb short loc_1292F
[...]
(10) Minor check of the user controlled data
(11) Some user controlled data is copied into ecx
(12) The user controlled data is copied into edx
(13) The user controlled data is copied (as dwords) at the memory location
OVERWRITTEN_DATA2
(14) The size of the copied data (loop counter in eax) can be controlled
by the user
This leads to an out-of-bound write in kernel memory.
In both cases it is possible to write an arbitrary amount of user
controlled data into kernel memory. As the data that gets overwritten is
in the data section of the cpoint.sys kernel driver it is possible to
control adjacent data structures (e.g. some KEVENT structures). If these
structures are overwritten with carefully crafted data it is possible to
force the windows kernel into performing a memory corruption that leads to
full control of the kernel execution flow.
