Shanda · Shanda Maplestory Online · CVE-2019-9729
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Shanda MapleStory Online version V160
**Description**
The issue arises from the SdoKeyCrypt.sys driver, which fails to validate the IOCtl 0x8000c01c input value. This oversight leads to an integer signedness error and a heap-based buffer underflow, ultimately allowing privilege escalation to NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM.
**Recommendations**
For Shanda MapleStory Online version V160, consider disabling the SdoKeyCrypt.sys driver as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the IOCtl 0x8000c01c to minimize the risk of exploitation.
