CVE-2017-12840
A kernel driver, namely DLMFENC.sys, bundled with the DESLock+ client application 4.8.16 and earlier contains a locally exploitable heap based buffer overflow in the handling of an IOCTL message of type 0x0FA4204. The vulnerability is present due to the kernel driver failing to allocate sufficient memory on the kernel heap to contain a user supplied string as such the string is copied into a buffer of constant size (0x1000-bytes) and thus an overflow condition results. Access to the kernel driver is permitted through an obfuscated interface whereby bytes of user supplied message are "authenticated" via an obfuscation routine employing a linear equation.

"value": "Un controlador kernel llamado DLMFENC.sys que viene con la aplicación cliente DESlock+ 4.8.16 y anterior contiene una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica que se puede explotar de manera local en la gestión de un mensaje IOCTL de tipo 0x0FA4204. Existe esta vulnerabilidad porque el controlador kernel falla a la hora de asignar la memoria necesaria en la memoria dinámica del kernel para contener un string proporcionado por un usuario. El string se copia en un búfer de tamaño constante (0x1000 bytes) y entonces ocurre el desbordamiento. Se permite el acceso al controlador kernel mediante una interfaz ofuscada en donde los bytes del mensaje proporcionado por el usuario están \"autenticados\" mediante una rutina de ofuscación que emplea una ecuación lineal."
