Description
Pegatron `Tdelo64.sys` exposes a privileged device interface, `\\.\TdeIo`, that fails to properly restrict access to sensitive IOCTL functionality. The driver's IOCTL dispatcher does not validate caller privileges or verify user-supplied kernel memory addresses before performing memory operations. By sending crafted requests to IOCTL, a local attacker can achieve arbitrary kernel memory read and write operations, leading to privilege escalation to `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM`, security product bypass, credential theft, or complete system compromise.

AI Analysis

Impact

Pegatron's Tdelo64.sys driver exposes a privileged device interface (\\.\TdeIo) that fails to properly validate caller privileges or check user-supplied kernel memory addresses before executing IOCTL operations. By sending crafted IOCTL requests, a local attacker can perform arbitrary kernel memory reads and writes, ultimately gaining SYSTEM rights. This allows an attacker to bypass security products, steal credentials, or fully compromise the machine.

Affected Systems

The vulnerable component is the Pegatron Tdelo64.sys driver. No specific affected version information is provided in the data, so any installation of this driver may be at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.2 indicates a moderate severity vulnerability. The EPSS score of < 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation at the time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local via the uncontrolled IOCTL interface; an attacker must have physical or remote local access to the machine. While no public exploits have been reported, the ability to read/write kernel memory and elevate privileges poses a significant threat if exploited.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Obtain and install the latest Tdelo64.sys driver from Pegatron that includes the missing privilege validation and address verification.
  • Reboot the system to load the updated driver and ensure the change takes effect.
  • Limit physical and local access to machines using the affected device, and monitor system logs for abnormal device access patterns.
