* CVE: CVE-2015-8773 * Vendor: McAfee - Intel Security * Reported by: Kyriakos Economou * Date of Release: 26/01/2016 * Date of Fix: N/A * Affected Products: Multiple * Affected Version: McPvDrv.sys v4.6.111.0 * Fixed Version: N/A Description: McAfee File Lock Driver does not handle correctly GUIDs of the encrypted vaults, which allows to crash the host by crafting a specific IOCTL with a malformed Vault GUID which is used to identify an object of FILE_DEVICE_DISK DeviceType, causing a kernel stack based buffer overflow. We have verified this issue in the lastest McAfee File Lock v5.x which ships with McAfee total protection suite. However, other products that include this package will also be affected. Vulnerable module: McPvDrv.sys v4.6.111.0 Earlier versions of this kernel driver are probably affected by the same issue. Impact: The return address is protected by a security cookie, so exploiting this issue further than crashing the host doesn't seem to be possible. Technical Details: GUID example: 867ba474 34 00 65 00 39 00 38 00 37 00 66 00 61 00 34 00 2d 00 39 00 66 00 38 00 4.e.9.8.7.f.a.4.-.9.f.8. 867ba48c 33 00 2d 00 34 00 30 00 61 00 64 00 2d 00 61 00 61 00 31 00 66 00 2d 00 3.-.4.0.a.d.-.a.a.1.f.-. 867ba4a4 62 00 35 00 33 00 65 00 61 00 35 00 64 00 63 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 b.5.3.e.a.5.d.c........

The next algorithm is vulnerable as well to stack based buffer overflow, and it overflows stack based buffer again used by another function, assuming that the GUID was not long enough to overwrite the stack cookie, but long enough to allow the execution flow to go on and trigger this bug later.

It is used by a call to IoCreateDevice in order to create a FILE_DEVICE_DISK DeviceType. DeviceName Example: L"\Device\McPersonalVaults\McPvDrv{4e987fa49f8340adaa1fb53ea5dc}" Since the concatenation happens again inside a stack based buffer, it is possible to cause a buffer overflow. Return addresses for both functions are protected by a stack cookie, so exploiting this issue further than a BSoD is probably not possible.
