NVIDIA Driver - No Bounds Checking in Escape 0x7000170

EDB-ID:

40662




Platform:

Windows

The DxgkDdiEscape handler for 0x7000170 lacks proper bounds checks for the variable size
input escape data, and relies on a user provided size as the upper bound for writing output.

Crashing context with PoC (Win 10 x64 with 372.54):

KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (139)
A kernel component has corrupted a critical data structure.  The corruption
could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this machine.

To reproduce, compile the PoC as a x64 binary (requires linking with
setupapi.lib, and WDK for D3DKMTEscape), and run. It may require some changes
as for it to work as the escape data must contain the right values (e.g. a
field that appears to be gpu bus device function). My PoC should hopefully set
all the right values for the machine it's running on.
