Vulnerability Note VU#146896

Gear Software CD DVD Filter driver privilege escalation vulnerability

Overview

The Gear Software CD DVD Filter driver contains a privilege escalation vulnerability, which can allow an attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges.

I. Description

Gear Software provides a driver called CD DVD Filter, which is provided by GEARAspiWDM.sys. This driver is used by multiple CD/DVD recording applications. The Gear Software CD DVD Filter driver allows unlimited calls to IoAttachDevice from a user-space application. By making multiple calls to IoAttachDevice, an attacker may be able to exploit an integer overflow in the Microsoft Windows kernel to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.

II. Impact

An attacker may be able to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.

III. Solution

Apply an update

This issue is addressed in GEAR driver version 4.001.7, which provides GEARAspiWDM.sys version 2.0.7.5. This version of the CD DVD Filter driver limits the number of IoAttachDevice calls that can be made. Please check with your software vendor for updates that contains this fixed driver. If no update is available, the stand-alone driver from GEAR may be installed.

Apple iTunes users should install iTunes 8.0, as specified in the About the security content of iTunes 8.0 document.

Symantec customers using Norton 360, Norton Ghost, Norton Save and Restore, Backup Exec System Recovery, and Symantec LiveState Recovery should apply an update, as specified in the Symantec Security Advisory SYM08-017.

Title: Apple iTunes Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Description: Integer overflow in the IopfCompleteRequest API in the kernel in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Vista allows context-dependent attackers to gain privileges. NOTE: this issue was originally reported for GEARAspiWDM.sys 2.0.7.5 in Gear Software CD DVD Filter driver before 4.001.7, as used in other products including Apple iTunes and multiple Symantec and Norton products, which allows local users to gain privileges via repeated IoAttachDevice IOCTL calls to \\.\GEARAspiWDMDevice in this GEARAspiWDM.sys. However, the root cause is the integer overflow in the API call itself.
