Description

Zemana AntiLogger v2.74.204.664 is vulnerable to a Memory Information Leak vulnerability by triggering the 0x80002020 IOCTL code of the zam64.sys and zamguard64.sys drivers.

Vulnerability

The 0x80002020 IOCTL code of the zam64.sys and zamguard64.sys drivers allow to leak the kernel base address, making the kASLR protection useless.

In order to perform calls to any IOCTL of the zam64.sys and zamguard64.sys driver, a call to the IOCTL 0x80002010 must be performed with the current process ID as an authorized IOCTL process caller:

if ( IoctlCode != 0x80002010 ) { if ( IoctlCode + 0x7FFFDFAC > 0x10
    || (CurrentStackLocation = 0x11001i64, !_bittest((const int *)&CurrentStackLocation, IoctlCode + 0x7FFFDFAC)) )
    {
    if ( (unsigned int)sub_140009BE4(CurrentStackLocation, "Main.c") && !(unsigned int)sub_140009BEC(v6, 1i64) )
    {
        v3 = 0xC0000022;
        DnsPrint_RpcZoneInfo(
        7,
        (unsigned int)"Main.c",
        0x1E2,
        (unsigned int)"DeviceIoControlHandler",
        0xC0000022,
        "ProcessID %d is not authorized to send IOCTLs ",
        v6);
        goto LABEL_79;
    }
    }
}

The handling code of the 0x80002020 IOCTL calls sub_14000B828 which performs a call to ZwQuerySystemInformation, using SystemModuleInformation (0xB) as first parameter.

if ( ZwQuerySystemInformation(
        SystemModuleInformation,
        SystemInformationClassOutput,
        NumberOfBytes,
        (PULONG)&NumberOfBytes) < 0 )

The output buffer is populated with the information returned by ZwQuerySystemInformation. Notice the first returned QWORD:

PS C:\Users\admin\Desktop> .\PoC.exe
[+] Bytes returned: 29 (0x1d)
[+] Output (0): FFFFF80252600000
[+] Output (8): 526D65747379535C
[+] Output (16): 747379735C746F6F
[+] Output (24): 0000005C32336D65

It matches with the kernel base address as fetched from the debugger:

0: kd> lm m nt
Browse full module list
start             end                 module name
fffff802`52600000 fffff802`53646000   nt
