Windows XP Run on PrivateFirewall Kernel mode hook handler bypass vulnerability

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2010-005728

DESCRIPTION

Race condition in PrivateFirewall 7.0.20.37 on Windows XP allows local users to bypass kernel-mode hook handlers, and execute dangerous code that would otherwise be blocked by a handler but not blocked by signature-based malware detection, via certain user-space memory changes during hook-handler execution, aka an argument-switch attack or a KHOBE attack. NOTE: this issue is disputed by some third parties because it is a flaw in a protection mechanism for situations where a crafted program has already begun to execute. ** Unsettled ** This case has not been confirmed as a vulnerability. This vulnerability is also known as argument-switch Attack, or KHOBE It is called an attack
