GDT / LDT Windows Kernel Exploitation article

Author: j00ru

# Views: 2422

Hi,

A few weeks ago, me and Gynvael had a chance to dive into the Global/Local Descriptor Table management in 32-bit Windows, and how it can be used to accomplish something, in the context of write-what-where ring-0 exploitation.

To sum-up everything we've came across during this research, a "GDT and LDT in Windows kernel vulnerability exploitation" paper was created.

Table of Contents:
1. Abstract
2. The need of a stable exploit path
3. Windows GDT and LDT
4. Creating a Call-Gate entry in LDT
4.1. 4-byte write-what-where exploitation
4.2. 1-byte write-what-where exploitation
4.3. Custom LDT goes User Mode
5. Summary
+ References
+ Attachments

The article itself: http://vexillium.org/dl.php?call_gate_exploitation.pdf

Have fun!
