Description

Vba32 Antivirus v3.36.0 is vulnerable to an Arbitrary Memory Read (AMR) vulnerability by triggering the 0x22201B, 0x22201F, 0x222023, 0x222027 ,0x22202B, 0x22202F, 0x22203F, 0x222057 and 0x22205B IOCTL codes of the Vba32m64.sys driver.

CVE-2024-23439

The 0x22201B, 0x22201F, 0x222023, 0x222027 ,0x22202B, 0x22202F, 0x22203F, 0x222057 and 0x22205B IOCTL codes of the Vba32m64.sys driver allows to perform a partial Arbitrary Memory Read. The attacker can control the address from where to perform the read by supplying an arbitrary pointer in the lpInBuffer parameter of the IOCTL call, but there's currently not leak of the result of such read to user-space. However, the invalid address will cause a BSOD which leads to a Denial of Service of the affected computer.

CVE-2024-23440

The 0x22200B IOCTL code of the Vba32m64.sys driver allows to read up to 0x802 of memory from ar arbitrary user-supplied pointer. The attacker can control the address from where to perform the read by supplying an arbitrary pointer in the lpInBuffer parameter of the IOCTL call. The vulnerable IOCTL will copy up to 0x802 bytes to a global variable of the driver. There's not evidence of the leak of the result of such read to user-space. However, the invalid address will cause a BSOD which leads to a Denial of Service of the affected computer.
