Are you able to get a crash dump?

from winpmem.

vivianezw commented on September 12, 2024

I did several tests with multiple machines and builds, even 22H2 core isolation barebone with 16 GB, (but I also tried VMs), but it justed worked. I could not reproduce this.

At least !analyze -v output would be appreciated.

Hi, not related to xalicex but also experiencing this BSOD when trying to load the winpmem driver.

Great, a read on 0xd68. At least it should be easy to find out the exact line where this happened. This was clearly a Winpmem fault.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the new version 2.0.2 in the dev branch, many bugs have been fixed. You probably need to switch testsigning on. (Note: the 2 years old drivers in the 'binaries' folder must be replaced with the freshly compiled drivers before compiling the mini tool exe.)

vivianezw commented on September 12, 2024

You were not using the mini tool.
You loaded the driver yourself.
You had an accident in the plain middle of the (unsafe) old pte initialization routine, which is, at least in the current master branch, a bad place to have an accident.

It was at line https://github.com/Velocidex/WinPmem/blob/master/kernel/pte_mmap.c#L141 .
Your CR3 read might have been wrong, to start with, although a miracle why. This old routine lacked all sanity checks (probably because it was assumed that how could pml4 on cr3 be zero? Not on barebones, for sure). But knowing of all kinds of VM manipulation, I reworked it in the dev branch and you would not have an accident there.
I would presume that 0xd68 was the pml4 index to add, and pml4 (pointer, from cr3 read) was null. (This is an assumption only.) You would have been able to tell that, because you had dbgprint on! The access on the resulting pml4e pointer (trying to check the present bit) killed you. In my dev branch, this accident would have been prevented. This was exactly on of the major things I reworked.

Here, sanity checks now:

WinPmem/kernel/pte_mmap.c

Line 182 in f964172

if (!pml4) goto error;

For safety, every tier step now checked thoroughly, handled gracefully, and the PTE method will be disabled in DriverEntry on error. (It method needs to be set to true, and this only happens if you get through all tier steps with status success, in the DriverEntry). If any weird VM hypervisor decides to do manipulation, than Winpmem can recognize it, and avoid going into some bad trap.

Definitely try the dev branch, and try to see the dbgprints. I would like to now if the readcr3 really returned a zero pml4. This is just an assumtion, because I am missing the dbgprint output, but it would be amazing. The testing app in 'testing' should suffice, with the method set to PTE, it will do one read. Don't forget to turn on the dbgprints (you can use dbgview.exe, as admin, kernel verbose dbgprint enabled).
Maybe vmware does some voodoo when driver do readcr3(). This is my best guess.
