Description
PassMark PerformanceTest before 11.1 build 1012, BurnInTest before 11.1 build 1000, and OSForensics before 11.1 build 1016 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in DirectIo64.sys that allows unauthenticated local attackers to dump complete physical memory contents by supplying a caller-controlled file path to an exposed IOCTL. Attackers can issue a single IOCTL call to trigger the driver to iterate all physical memory ranges via MmGetPhysicalMemoryRanges and map each page through ZwMapViewOfSection on the PhysicalMemory section object, writing a full RAM image to an attacker-specified path in the SYSTEM context, bypassing user-mode ACLs and exposing LSASS working set, process memory, and cryptographic material from all running processes.

AI Analysis

Impact

A local, unauthenticated attacker exploits a flaw in the DirectIo64.sys driver used by PassMark PerformanceTest, BurnInTest, and OSForensics. By supplying a caller‑controlled file path to an exposed IOCTL, the driver coerces the system to enumerate all physical memory ranges, map them into user space, and write a full RAM image to an attacker‑specified location. This bypasses user‑mode access control lists and captures sensitive data such as the LSASS working set, process memory, and cryptographic material from all running processes, resulting in a complete disclosure of confidential system contents.

Affected Systems

Affected products are PassMark Software’s BurnInTest versions before 11.1 build 1000, OSForensics versions before 11.1 build 1016, and PerformanceTest versions before 11.1 build 1012. Upgrading to any release at or beyond these build numbers removes the vulnerability.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3.1 score of 8.5 indicates high-severity information‑disclosure risk. EPSS information is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalogue. The attack vector is local and requires an unauthenticated user to execute a single IOCTL call. Once executed, the attacker obtains unrestricted read access to the entire physical memory in a SYSTEM context, making the vulnerability especially useful to credential theft, lateral movement, and other post‑compromise objectives.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade PerformanceTest to version 11.1 build 1012 or newer, BurnInTest to version 11.1 build 1000 or newer, and OSForensics to version 11.1 build 1016 or newer to eliminate the kernel driver flaw.
  • If a patch is not immediately available, disable or remove the DirectIo64.sys driver from the system to block the vulnerable IOCTL interface.
  • Restrict local user accounts from executing DirectIo64.sys by applying appropriate file‑system permissions or account‑control policies, ensuring that only privileged accounts can interact with the driver.
