Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2012-08-25 21:55 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:26
Severity
Summary
Race condition in KingSoft Personal Firewall 9 Plus 2009.05.07.70 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

Esto se consigue a trav\u00e9s de ciertos cambios en la memoria de espacio de usuario durante la ejecuci\u00f3n del manejador de gancho, tambi\u00e9n conocido como ataque argument-switch o ataque KHOBE. NOTA: este problema es discutido por algunos, ya que es un defecto en un mecanismo de protecci\u00f3n para situaciones en las que un programa hecho a mano ya ha comenzado a ejecutarse."
