File deletion and service interruption via unterminated path
Published Jun 30, 2023 · Updated Nov 26, 2024
Arbitrary file deletion in Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit 4.4.0.220 allows local users to delete files or interrupt service via crafted ALPC messages. The ALPC handler processes a FullFileNamePath field without a terminating null character, causing the path to extend beyond its intended boundary. Low-privilege local access is required, and successful exploitation can remove attacker-chosen files or stop the protected service.
