Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Microsoft Windows (Operating System) (unknown version). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block of the file win32k.sys. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Race condition in win32k.sys in the kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, Windows 7 Gold and SP1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and Windows RT allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages improper handling of objects in memory, aka "Win32k Race Condition Vulnerability."

The weakness was shared 04/09/2013 by Mateusz Jurczyk and Gynvael Coldwind (j00ru) with Google Inc. as MS13-036 as confirmed bulletin (Microsoft Technet). The advisory is shared at technet.microsoft.com. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2013-1292 since 01/12/2013. The exploitation appears to be difficult. An attack has to be approached locally. The requirement for exploitation is a single authentication. Technical details and also a private exploit are known.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 65883 (MS13-036: Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2829996)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 90875 (Microsoft Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (MS13-036)).

Applying the patch MS13-036 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at support.microsoft.com. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (65883), SecurityFocus (BID 58859†), OSVDB (92132†), Secunia (SA52930†) and SecurityTracker (ID 1028402†).
