Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14398)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.

rzpnk.sys in Razer Synapse 2.20.15.1104 allows local users to read and write to arbitrary memory locations, and consequently gain privileges, via a methodology involving a handle to DevicePhysicalMemory, IOCTL 0x22A064, and ZwMapViewOfSection.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9769)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

A specially crafted IOCTL can be issued to the rzpnk.sys driver in Razer Synapse 2.20.15.1104 that is forwarded to ZwOpenProcess allowing a handle to be opened to an arbitrary process.
