CVE-2017-14153

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on Jungo WinDriver 12.4.0 and earlier. The issue exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x953824b7 by the windrvr1240 kernel driver, where user-supplied data is not properly validated, potentially leading to a kernel pool overflow.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to unauthorized code execution in the kernel context, potentially allowing an attacker full control over the system. Privilege escalation can result in serious security implications.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update to the latest version of Jungo WinDriver to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, access to the system should be restricted to trusted users and system activities should be monitored.

Original NVD description (English source)

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on Jungo WinDriver 12.4.0 and earlier. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x953824b7 by the windrvr1240 kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in a kernel pool overflow. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
