CVE-2023-31096Public exploit

SYSTEM privilege escalation via unchecked IOCTL copy

Published Oct 10, 2023 · Updated Sep 19, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Broadcom LSI PCI-SV92EX Soft Modem Kernel Driver 2.2.100.1 and earlier allows local users to gain SYSTEM access. The IOCTL 0x1b2150 handler passes an attacker-controlled length to RtlCopyMemory without checking the destination stack-buffer size. A medium-integrity process that can open the AGRSM_xface device can overwrite the kernel return path and execute code as SYSTEM.
