Subject: KL-001-2014-002 : Microsoft XP SP3 BthPan.sys Arbitrary Write
Privilege Escalation
Title: Microsoft XP SP3 BthPan.sys Arbitrary Write Privilege Escalation
Advisory ID: KL-001-2014-002
Publication Date: 2014-07-18

1. Vulnerability Details
Affected Vendor: Microsoft
Affected Product: Bluetooth Personal Area Networking
Affected Versions: 5.1.2600.5512
Platform: Microsoft Windows XP SP3
CWE Classification: CWE-123: Write-what-where Condition
Impact: Privilege Escalation
Attack vector: IOCTL
CVE ID: CVE-2014-4971
2. Vulnerability Description
A vulnerability within the BthPan module allows an attacker to
inject memory they control into an arbitrary location they
define. This can be used by an attacker to overwrite
HalDispatchTable+0x4 and execute arbitrary code by subsequently
calling NtQueryIntervalProfile.
3. Technical Description
A userland process can create a handle into the BthPan device
and subsequently make DeviceIoControlFile() calls into that
device. During the IRP handler routine for 0x0012b814 the user
provided OutputBuffer address is not validated. This allows an
attacker to specify an arbitrary address and write
(or overwrite) the memory residing at the specified address.
This is classicaly known as a write-what-where vulnerability and
has well known exploitation methods associated with it.
A stack trace from our fuzzing can be seen below. In our fuzzing
testcase, the specified OutputBuffer in the DeviceIoControlFile()
call is 0xffff0000.

Reviewing the TRAP_FRAME at the time of crash we can see
IopCompleteRequest() copying data from InputBuffer into the
OutputBuffer. InputBuffer is another parameter provided to the
DeviceIoControlFile() function and is therefore controllable by
the attacker. The edi register contains the invalid address
provided during the fuzz testcase.

A write-what-where vulnerability can be leveraged to obtain
escalated privileges. To do so, an attacker will need to
allocate memory in userland that is populated with shellcode
designed to find the Token for PID 4 (System) and then overwrite
the token for its own process. By leveraging the vulnerability
in BthPan it is then possible to overwrite the pointer at
HalDispatchTable+0x4 with a pointer to our shellcode. Calling
NtQueryIntervalProfile() will subsequently call
HalDispatchTable+0x4, execute our shellcode, and elevate the
privilege of the exploit process.
4. Mitigation and Remediation Recommendation
None. A patch is not likely to be forthcoming from the vendor.
