Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Broadcom LSI PCI-SV92EX Soft Modem Kernel Driver up to 2.2.100.1 (Hardware Driver Software). Affected is an unknown function in the library AGRSM64.sys. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

An issue was discovered in Broadcom) LSI PCI-SV92EX Soft Modem Kernel Driver through 2.2.100.1 (aka AGRSM64.sys). There is Local Privilege Escalation to SYSTEM via a Stack Overflow in RTLCopyMemory (IOCTL 0x1b2150). An attacker can exploit this to elevate privileges from a medium-integrity process to SYSTEM. This can also be used to bypass kernel-level protections such as AV or PPL, because exploit code runs with high-integrity privileges and can be used in coordinated BYOVD (bring your own vulnerable driver) ransomware campaigns.

The weakness was presented 10/10/2023. The advisory is available at cschwarz1.github.io. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2023-31096 since 04/24/2023.
