Vulnerability details:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The kernel driver cpoint.sys shipped with Panda Internet Security and Antiv=
irus+=20
Firewall 2008 contains a vulnerability in the code that handles IOCTL reque=
sts.=20
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=
=20
compromise)
The issue can be triggered by sending a specially crafted IOCTL request.
No special user rights are necessary to exploit the vulnerability.

The IOCTL call 0xba002848 of the cpoint.sys kernel driver shipped with Pand=
a=20
Internet Security/Antivirus+Firewall 2008 accepts user supplied input that=

doesn't get validated enough. In consequence it is possible to cause an=20
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 will =

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: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=
=20
OVERWRITTEN_DATA
(9) The size of the copied data (loop counter in eax) can be controlled by =
the=20
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: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=
=20
OVERWRITTEN_DATA2
(14) The size of the copied data (loop counter in eax) can be controlled by=
the=20
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 controlle=
d=20
data into kernel memory. As the data that gets overwritten is in the data=
=20
section of the cpoint.sys kernel driver it is possible to control adjacent =
data=20
structures (e.g. some KEVENT structures). If these structures are overwritt=
en=20
with carefully crafted data it is possible to force the windows kernel into=
=20
performing a memory corruption that leads to full control of the kernel=20
execution flow.
