Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Panda Antivirus Pro, Global Protection and Internet Security 2014 (Anti-Malware Software). Affected by this issue is an unknown code block in the library PavTPK.sys. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the PavTPK.sys kernel mode driver of Panda Security 2014 products before hft131306s24_r1 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted argument to a 0x222008 IOCTL call.

The weakness was shared 08/18/2014 by Kyriakos Economou as Privilege Escalation in Panda Security Products as confirmed posting (Bugtraq). The advisory is available at archives.neohapsis.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2014-5307 since 08/16/2014. The exploitation is known to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details as well as a public exploit are known. The advisory points out:

Latest, and possibly earlier builds, of the PavTPK.sys kernel mode driver of Panda Security software suffer from a heap overflow bug that allows any user to elevate their privileges through an IOCTL request and execute code as SYSTEM by controlling the EIP via a corrupted kernel object. This driver is loaded into kernel memory during boot time and stays resident without touching the disk later. All Panda Security products using the faulty driver were found to be vulnerable.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 4 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.

A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (95382) and SecurityFocus (BID 69293†). portcullis-security.com is providing further details. If you want to get best quality of vulnerability data, you may have to visit VulDB.
