Severity: High
Crucial by Micron Technology, Inc Ballistix MOD Utility v.<= 2.0.2.5 is vulnerable to multiple Privilege Escalation (LPE/EoP) vulnerabilities in the MODAPI.sys
driver component.
All the vulnerabilities are triggered by sending specific IOCTL requests and will allow to:
- Directly interact with physical memory via the
MmMapIoSpace
function call, mapping physical memory into a virtual address user-space. - Read/write Model-Specific Registers (MSRs) via the
__readmsr/__writemsr
functions calls. - Read/write 1/2/4 bytes to or from an IO port.
Attackers could exploit these issues to achieve local privilege escalation from low-privileged users to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
.
