| CVE-2008-3431 | Date: (C)2008-08-05 (M)2023-12-22 |
The VBoxDrvNtDeviceControl function in VBoxDrv.sys in Sun xVM VirtualBox before 1.6.4 uses the METHOD_NEITHER communication method for IOCTLs and does not properly validate a buffer associated with the Irp object, which allows local users to gain privileges by opening the .VBoxDrv device and calling DeviceIoControl to send a crafted kernel address.
