The Dolby DAX2 and DAX3 API services are vulnerable to a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows a normal user to get arbitrary system privileges, because these services have .NET code for DCOM. This affects Dolby Audio X2 (DAX2) 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.4, 1.4.1, 1.4.2, 1.4.3, and 1.4.4 and Dolby Audio X3 (DAX3) 1.0 and 1.1. An example affected driver is Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.7898 on a Lenovo P50.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
