CVE Descriptions

Double free vulnerability in the kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, Server 2003 SP2, Vista Gold, SP1, and SP2, and Server 2008 Gold and SP2 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka "Windows Kernel Double Free Vulnerability."

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/38044/info // Microsoft Windows is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability that occurs in the kernel. // An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will cause a denial of service. // -------------------------------------------------------- // Windows NtFilterToken() Double Free Vulnerability // ----------------------------- [email protected] ------------ // // INTRODUCTION // // NtFilterToken() will jump to a cleanup routine if it failed to capture // the arguments specified due to pathological TOKEN_GROUP parameter. This // cleanup routine assumes a pointer passed to SeCaptureSidAndAttributesArray() // will be NULL if it fails, and attempts to release it otherwise. // // Unfortunately there is a codepath where SeCaptureSidAndAttributesArray() // allocates a buffer, releases it on error, but then does not set it to // NULL. This causes NtFilterToken() to incorrectly free it again. // // IMPACT // // This is probably exploitable (at least on MP kernels) to get ring0 code // execution, but you would have to get the released buffer re-allocated // during a very small window and you only get one attempt (the kernel // will bugcheck if you dont win the race). // // Although technically this is a local privilege escalation, I don't think // it's possible to create a reliable exploit. Therefore, It's probably // safe to treat this as if it were a denial of service. // // Interestingly, Microsoft are big proponents of static analysis and this // seems like a model example of a statically discoverable bug. I would // guess they're dissapointed they missed this one, it would be fun to // know what went wrong. // // This vulnerability was reported to Microsoft in October, 2009. // // CREDIT // // This bug was discovered by Tavis Ormandy <[email protected]>. // #include <windows.h> PVOID AllocBufferOnPageBoundary(ULONG Size); int main(int argc, char **argv) { SID *Sid; HANDLE NewToken; FARPROC NtFilterToken; PTOKEN_GROUPS Restricted; // Resolve the required routine.
