Windows Kernel Intel x64 SYSRET Vulnerability + Code Signing Bypass Bonus

[Shahriyar Jalayeri <shahriyar.j () gmail com>]

Hi
Microsoft Windows Kernel Intel x64 SYSRET Vulnerability (MS12-042) was
only exploited by VUPEN, apparently!, But no PoC or exploit publicly
available. So I decided to work on this challenge just for fun.At first
glance, it was difficult to get Code-Execution but after several times
struggling with Windbg I finally succeeded on triggering the bug and get
code-execution.By the way, Windbg had stupid bug on executing SWAPGS by
single-stepping! I don’t really know why, but the guest VM always
reboots! I managed to get it to work with IDA Pro + GDB remote Debugging
plugin after all!
here is the rest of story + PoC (
