The VBoxDrvNtDeviceControl function in VBoxDrv.sys in Sun xVM VirtualBox
before 1.6.4 uses the METHOD_NEITHER 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
calling DeviceIoControl to send a crafted kernel address.
