Descriptions
The kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1 allow local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted function call, aka "Microsoft Windows Kernel Memory Disclosure Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-1676, CVE-2015-1677, CVE-2015-1678, and CVE-2015-1680.
Los controladores de modo de kernel en Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold y R2, y Windows RT Gold y 8.1 permiten a usuarios locales evadir el mecanismo de protección ASLR a través de una llamada 'function' manipulada, también conocido como 'vulnerabilidad de la divulgación de la memoria del kernel de Microsoft Windows,' una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-1676, CVE-2015-1677, CVE-2015-1678, y CVE-2015-1680.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to leak sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of the NtUserGetMessage function. The issue lies in the failure to sanitize a buffer before returning its contents resulting in the leak of a kernel address. An attacker can leverage this together with another vulnerability to achieve code execution at SYSTEM.
