List of CVEs: CVE-2018-8897
This module exploits a vulnerability in a statement in the system programming guide of the Intel 64 and IA-32 architectures software developer's manual being mishandled in various operating system kerneles, resulting in unexpected behavior for #DB excpetions that are deferred by MOV SS or POP SS. This module will upload the pre-compiled exploit and use it to execute the final payload in order to gain remote code execution.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- excellent: The exploit will never crash the service. This is the case for SQL Injection, CMD execution, RFI, LFI, etc. No typical memory corruption exploits should be given this ranking unless there are extraordinary circumstances. More information about ranking can be found here.
Basic Usage
Note: To run a local exploit, make sure you are at the msf prompt.
Also, to check the session ID, use the sessions command.
msf > use exploit/windows/local/mov_ss
msf exploit(mov_ss) > show targets
... a list of targets ...
msf exploit(mov_ss) > set TARGET target-id
msf exploit(mov_ss) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf exploit(mov_ss) > set SESSION session-id
msf exploit(mov_ss) > exploit
Required Options
- SESSION: The session to run this module on.
Knowledge Base
Description
This module exploits a MOV SS vulnerability that is specifically made against Microsoft Windows (except for Windows XP).
Depending on the value of USE_INJECTION It will either inject a dll with the exploit
code into a process, or it will upload a pre-compiled exploit onto the target machine, followed
by the final payload (such as a Meterpreter) in order to gain remote code execution.
Vulnerable Target
Please note that this module may not work with certain hypervisors (such as VMWare). You should test it on a real machine if possible.
