Vendor response
We tried to contact Kingsoft since October 8 2017, repeated attempts to establish contact went unanswered. At this time there is no solution or workaround for these vulnerability.
Vulnerability details
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Kingsoft Internet Security.
The specific flaws exists within the processing of IOCTL 0x80030004 or 0x80030008 by either the kavfm.sys (anti-virus) or the KWatch3.sys (internet security) kernel driver.
The driver doesnat properly validate user-supplied data which can result in a kernel stack buffer overflow.
An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of kernel.
