Bring Your Own Print Driver Vulnerability

Presented at DEF CON 29 (2021), Aug. 7, 2021, noon (45 minutes).

What can you do, as an attacker, when you find yourself as a low privileged Windows user with no path to SYSTEM? Install a vulnerable print driver! In this talk, you'll learn how to introduce vulnerable print drivers to a fully patched system. Then, using three examples, you'll learn how to use the vulnerable drivers to escalate to SYSTEM.
