NVIDIA Driver 375.70 - Buffer Overflow in Command Buffer Submission

Source: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1012

DxgkDdiSubmitCommandVirtual is the function implemented by the kernel mode driver
responsible for submitting a command buffer to the GPU. One of the arguments passed
contains vendor specific data from the user mode driver. The kernel allocates a single
buffer for this purpose for all submit calls for the same context.

NVIDIA implements this data as:

  struct NvPrivateHeader {
    DWORD magic;
    WORD unknown_4;
    WORD unknown_6;
    DWORD unknown_8;
    DWORD size;
  };

  struct NvPrivateData {
    NvPrivateHeader header;
    DWORD unknown_0;
    DWORD unknown_1;
    DWORD some_size;
    DWORD unknown_2;
    PVOID a_gpu_address_maybe;
    BYTE unknown[1220];
  };

In one of the functions that process this data, there appears to be code to
shift around the contents of this user private data.

  // |len| is controlled by the user. can come from the |some_size| field if the
  |a_gpu_address_maybe| field is 0.

  if ( len ) {
    if ( 8 * len >= pCommand_->DmaBufferPrivateDataSize - 0x4E8 )
      do_debug_thingo();                        // doesn't stop the memcpy

    priv_data = (NvSubmitPrivateData *)pCommand_->pDmaBufferPrivateData;

    src = (char *)priv_data + priv_data->header.size;  // unchecked length
    priv_data = (NvSubmitPrivateData *)((char *)priv_data + 1256);
    *(_QWORD *)&v4->unknown_0[256] = priv_data;

    // potential bad memcpy
    memcpy(priv_data, src, 8 * len);
  }


There are two main problems here: the |len| value is checked, but that appears
to only call a debug logging function and not actually stop the memcpy that
occurs afterwards.

Also, the |size| field from the header is not properly
checked to be smaller than the actual size of the data (this is also checked in
the calling function but once again only calls do_debug_thingo()).

This lets an attacker specify an arbitrary length for the copy, as well as
specify an arbitrary 32-bit offset to copy from, leading to pool memory corruption.
