We're excited to announce our next BlueHat Asia speakers: b2ahex (@b2ahex), Senior Security Researcher, four-time MSRC Most Valuable Researcher (MVR), and Pwnie Award winner; and Zhu Qing, CTO of Snowrock, Senior Security Engineer, MVR, and top MSRC Windows Bounty recipient. In their talk, "Broken Contracts in the DirectX Kernel: Local Elevation of Privilege and Hyper-V Guest-to-Host Remote Code Execution," b2ahex and Zhu Qing present a systematic study of object lifetime bugs in the Windows DirectX kernel, a component that today spans the boundaries between user mode, kernel mode, graphics drivers, and virtualized environments. During their research, the pair uncovered recurring vulnerability patterns involving handle resurrection, object type confusion, object lifetime management failures, and guest-controlled handles crossing trust boundaries. These issues affected both traditional Windows graphics paths and Hyper-V GPU paravirtualization scenarios, demonstrating how security flaws in graphics subsystems can evolve into virtualization isolation risks. Their work led to the reporting of 32 vulnerabilities in Dxgkrnl components, spanning Windows Hyper-V remote code execution, elevation of privilege, kernel information disclosure, and denial of service vulnerabilities. At the time of submission, 26 of these reports had been confirmed and assigned CVEs. Through real-world case studies, the session examines both local privilege escalation and Hyper-V guest-to-host vulnerabilities, explores the root causes behind these bug classes, and discusses practical approaches for strengthening object lifetime management, handle validation, locking mechanisms, and virtualization boundary protections. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from researchers who have spent years uncovering some of the most impactful vulnerability classes within the Windows graphics stack.
