|  | /* We have discovered that the nt!NtQueryVirtualMemory system call invoked with the 2 information class (MemoryMappedFilenameInformation) discloses portions of uninitialized kernel pool memory to user-mode clients. The vulnerability affects 64-bit versions of Windows 7 to 10.
 
 The output buffer for this information class is a UNICODE_STRING structure followed by the actual filename string. The output data is copied back to user-mode memory under the following stack trace (on Windows 7 64-bit):

 05 fffff880`03cfdbb0 00000000`772abf6a nt!KiSystemServiceCopyEnd+0x13
 --- cut ---
 
 The UNICODE_STRING structure is defined as follows:
 
 --- cut ---
 typedef struct _LSA_UNICODE_STRING {
 USHORT Length;
 USHORT MaximumLength;
 PWSTR  Buffer;
 } LSA_UNICODE_STRING, *PLSA_UNICODE_STRING, UNICODE_STRING, *PUNICODE_STRING;
 --- cut ---
 
 On 64-bit builds, there is a 4-byte padding between the "MaximumLength" and "Buffer" fields inserted by the compiler, in order to align the "Buffer" pointer to 8 bytes. This padding is left uninitialized in the code and is copied in this form to user-mode clients, passing over left-over data from the kernel pool.
 
 The issue can be reproduced by running the attached proof-of-concept program on a 64-bit system with the Special Pools mechanism enabled for ntoskrnl.exe. Then, it is clearly visible that bytes at offsets 4-7 are equal to the markers inserted by Special Pools, and would otherwise contain junk data that was previously stored in that memory region:

 Repeatedly triggering the vulnerability could allow local authenticated attackers to defeat certain exploit mitigations (kernel ASLR) or read other secrets stored in the kernel address space.
