TheCount. Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 TLDR Microsoft reintroduced a kernel vulnerability in Windows 10 Creators Update which was originally patched in 2016. This blog showcases the exploitation of this “wild” Pool-based overflow in the kernel on Windows 10 x64 (RS2) Microsoft improved the validation of the BASEOBJECT64.hHmgr field which makes linear Pool overflows on the Paged Session Pool harder to exploit when using well-known exploitation techniques using Palettes or Bitmaps Exploitation using Palettes or Bitmaps to get arbitrary Read-Write primitives is still possible despite the improved hHmgr Handle validation Exploits (one using Palettes, one using Bitmaps) have been published on Github sursa : https://siberas.de/blog/2017/10/05/exploitation_case_study_wild_pool_overflow_CVE-2016-3309_reloaded.html 1 Quote
