windows_kernel_shadow_stack

Proof of Concepts This project aims to highlight certain aspects of the shadow stack mitigation implemented by Microsoft in Windows 11. The code is specifically focused on Windows 11 24H2. It may not work on other version of Windows 11, due to the kernel offset management. The project is divided...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the efirtasmwrapper of efi-rt-wrapper.S, there is a possible way to bypass shadow stack protection due to a logical error in the code. This could result in a local escalation of privileges without the need for additional execution privileges. User interaction is not required for exploitation...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scs: A wrong parameter was fixed in scsmagic. The scsmagic function requires a void variable, but a struct taskstruct is provided instead. taskscstsk represents the starting address of the task’s shadow call stack, and...

kernel: Linux kernel: Arbitrary code execution via userfaultfd shadow stack manipulation

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's userfaultfd mechanism. A local attacker with userfaultfd access could register on shadow stack Virtual Memory Areas VMAs. By discarding a page and injecting a page with chosen return addresses, an attacker could achieve arbitrary code execution. This...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RISCV: Fixed a race condition when vmap stack overflow occurs. Currently, when detecting vmap stack overflow, RISCV first switches to the so-called shadow stack, and then uses this shadow stack to call getoverflowstack, in order ...

The vulnerability of the arch_set_shadow_stack_status() function in the arch/arm64/mm/gcs.c module of the ARM 64-bit kernel support for the Linux operating system allows a hacker to trigger a service failure.

The vulnerability of the archsetshadowstackstatus function in the arch/arm64/mm/gcs.c module of the Linux operating system’s ARM 64-bit kernel support is related to error handling flaws. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure...
