Kingsoft Antivirus/Internet Security 9+ Kernel Stack Buffer Overflow Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Summary:
========
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Kingsoft Internet Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaws exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x80030004 or 0x80030008 by the KWatch3.sys (internet security) kernel driver. The issue lies in the failure to properly validate user-supplied data which can result in a kernel stack buffer overflow. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
Vulnerability Analysis:
=======================
I am only going to detail a single bug since both ioctl handlers are *almost* identical. Inside the KWatch3.sys driver, we can see the following handler code for the first ioctl code (0x80030004)
; jumptable 000117C1 case 0
.text:000117C8 loc_117C8: ; CODE XREF: sub_11790+31
.text:000117C8
.text:000117C8 push ebx ; our input buffer size
.text:000117C9 lea ecx, [esp+58h+var_40] ; this is a fixed size stack buffer of 0x40
.text:000117CD push edi ; our input buffer
.text:000117CE push ecx ; char *
.text:000117CF call strncpy ; stack buffer overflow
.text:000117D4 add esp, 0Ch
.text:000117D7 lea edx, [esp+54h+var_40]
.text:000117DB push edx ; char *
.text:000117DC mov [esp+ebx+58h+var_40], 0
.text:000117E1 call sub_167B0
.text:000117E6 pop edi
.text:000117E7 mov esi, eax
.text:000117E9 pop esi
.text:000117EA pop ebp
.text:000117EB pop ebx
.text:000117EC add esp, 44h
.text:000117EF retn 8
Additional bugs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerabilities exist in the following ioctls as well:
- 0x8003001c
- 0x80030020
- 0x80030024
- 0x80030028
There is more, but I gave up. This happens because there are several functions that contain code like this:
.text:000172A0 loc_172A0: ; CODE XREF: sub_17280+29
.text:000172A0 mov cx, [eax] ; @eax is our input buffer
.text:000172A3 add eax, 2
.text:000172A6 test cx, cx
.text:000172A9 jnz short loc_172A0 ; jump if there is no null word
So all we have to do is set our input buffer to contain no null word values. Note that these only trigger a bug check if special pool is enabled and dont look exploitable (no leaking in the output buffer)
