CVE-2008-3431

CVE-2008-3431 affects Sun xVM VirtualBox on Windows prior to 1.6.4. The VBoxDrv.sys driver handles IOCTLs with METHOD_NEITHER and fails to validate the user-supplied buffer, enabling a local unprivileged user to craft a kernel address and gain kernel privileges by calling DeviceIoControl to the ....

CVE-2008-3431

The VBoxDrvNtDeviceControl function in VBoxDrv.sys in Sun xVM VirtualBox before 1.6.4 uses the METHODNEITHER communication method for IOCTLs and does not properly validate a buffer associated with the Irp object, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening the \.\VBoxDrv device and...

Sun xVM VirtualBox < 1.6.4 Local Privilege Escalation

The remote host contains a version of Sun xVM VirtualBox, an open source virtualization platform, before 1.6.4. Such versions reportedly include a kernel driver, 'VBoxDrv.sys', that allows a local user to open the device '.\VBoxDrv' and issue IOCTLs with a buffering method of 'METHODNEITHER'...
