Talos Vulnerability Report

Summary

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the WinRing0x64 Driver Privileged I/O Read IRPs functionality of NZXT CAM 4.8.0. A specially crafted I/O request packet (IRP) can cause the disclosure of sensitive information. An attacker can send a malicious IRP to trigger this vulnerability.

CWE

CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

Details

NZXT CAM is software designed as an all-in-one solution for computer hardware monitoring and performance. The software monitors fan speeds, CPU temperatures, network and RAM usage, as well as CPU/GPU frequencies for overclocking. It also has features for in-game overlays to track PC performance. The software also has an inventory for all devices that are installed on the PC at any given time.

The WinRing0x64 driver exists so that the NZXT CAM software can have access to the Windows Kernel as well as elevated privileges required to talk to PCI devices as well as making CPU/GPU configuration changes. This driver creates \Device\WinRing0_1_2_0 that is accessible to any user on the system and this driver is used for all elevated tasks.

CVE-2020-13509 - IRP 0x9c4060cc - IN Byte

Using the IRP 0x9c4060cc gives a low privilege user direct access to the IN instruction that is completely unrestrained at an elevated privilege level. This allows a low privilege user to read data from the processor I/O ports. This IRP reads only a single byte to the specific processor I/O port. This access could allow for information leakage of sensitive data.

CVE-2020-13510 - IRP 0x9c4060d0 - IN Word

Using the IRP 0x9c4060d0 gives a low privilege user direct access to the IN instruction that is completely unrestrained at an elevated privilege level. This allows a low privilege user to read data from the processor I/O ports. This IRP reads two bytes (one word) to the specific processor I/O port. This access could allow for information leakage of sensitive data.

00011237                  if (IoControlCode:0.d == 0x9c4060d0)
00011237                      unimplemented  {in ax, dx}
00011239                      *rcx = IoControlCode:0.w
0001123c                      goto _rbx0CompleteRequest

CVE-2020-13511 - IRP 0x9c4060d4 - IN Dword

Using the IRP 0x9c4060d4 gives a low privilege user direct access to the IN instruction that is completely unrestrained at an elevated privilege level. This allows a low privilege user to read data from the processor I/O ports. This IRP reads four bytes (one dword) to the specific processor I/O port. This access could allow for information leakage of sensitive data.

000111ae                  if (IoControlCode:0.d == 0x9c4060d4)
000111ae                      unimplemented  {in eax, dx}
000111af                      *rcx = IoControlCode:0.d
000111b1                      goto _rbx0CompleteRequest
