Microsoft SRV.SYS Mailslot Write Corruption
Description
This module triggers a kernel pool corruption bug in SRV.SYS. Each call to the mailslot write function results in a two byte return value being written into the response packet. The code which creates this packet fails to consider these two bytes in the allocation routine, resulting in a slow corruption of the kernel memory pool. These two bytes are almost always set to "\xff\xff" (a short integer with value of -1).

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
