CVE-2010-0237 The Windows Registry Adventure #7: Attack surface analysis - Project Zero
Posted by Mateusz Jurczyk, Google Project Zero
In the first three blog posts of this series, I sought to outline what the Windows Registry actually is, its role, history, and where to find further information about it. In the subsequent three posts, my goal was to describe in detail how this mechanism works internally – from the perspective of its clients (e.g., user-mode applications running on Windows), the regf format used to encode hives, and finally the kernel itself, which contains its canonical implementation. I believe all these elements are essential for painting a complete picture of this subsystem, and in a way, it shows my own approach to security research. One could say that going through this tedious process of getting to know the target unnecessarily lengthens the total

CVE-2023-21748 The Windows Registry Adventure #6: Kernel-mode objects - Project Zero
Posted by Mateusz Jurczyk, Google Project Zero
Welcome back to the Windows Registry Adventure! In the previous installment of the series, we took a deep look into the internals of the regf hive format. Understanding this foundational aspect of the registry is crucial, as it illuminates the design principles behind the mechanism, as well as its inherent strengths and weaknesses. The data stored within the regf file represents the definitive state of the hive. Knowing how to parse this data is sufficient for handling static files encoded in this format, such as when writing a custom regf parser to inspect hives extracted from a hard drive. However, for those interested in how regf files are managed by Windows at runtime, rather than just their behavior in isolation, there's a whole othe

Posted by Mateusz Jurczyk, Google Project Zero
In the 20-month period between May 2022 and December 2023, I thoroughly audited the Windows Registry in search of local privilege escalation bugs. It all started unexpectedly: I was in the process of developing a coverage-based Windows kernel fuzzer based on the Bochs x86 emulator (one of my favorite tools for security research: see Bochspwn, Bochspwn Reloaded, and my earlier font fuzzing infrastructure), and needed some binary formats to test it on. My first pick were PE files: they are very popular in the Windows environment, which makes it easy to create an initial corpus of input samples, and a basic fuzzing harness is equally easy to develop with just a single GetFileVersionInfoSizeW API call. The test was successful: even though I h
