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-2022-34707 The Windows Registry Adventure #1: Introduction and research results - Project Zero
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

Twenty years ago this month, Microsoft introduced the concept of “Patch Tuesday” – although the marketing folks wanted it called “Update Tuesday” (they didn’t like the word “patch”). Over the years, more companies joined the Patch Tuesday bandwagon. Here we are 20 years later, still talking about the latest security releases from Adobe and Microsoft. Pop some champagne to celebrate and join us as we review the details of the latest advisories from Adobe and Microsoft. If you’d rather watch the video recap, you can check it out here.
