0x02 : Vulnerability details

Local Denial Of Service:
 
When the CommView application is installed on a host cv2k1.sys driver is loaded on the machine.
This driver allows any unprivileged user to open the device .CV2K_{GUID} and issue IOCTLs (0x00002578) with a buffering mode of METHOD_BUFFERED without any kind of validation.
The cv2k1.sys driver uses the METHOD_BUFFERED communication method when handling IOCTLs request and does not validate properly the buffer sent in the Irp object allowing local unprivileged attackers to crash an affected system, creating a denial of service condition.
Affected Device: cv2k1.sys ("DeviceCV2K_{GUID}")
Affected IOCTL: 0x00002578
KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e).
Method: METHOD_BUFFERED
