/*
We have discovered that the nt!NtQueryInformationProcess system call invoked with the 76 information class discloses portions of uninitialized kernel stack memory to user-mode clients. The specific information class is handled by an internal nt!PsQueryProcessEnergyValues function.
 
While we don't know the layout of the output structure, we have determined that on our test Windows 10 version 1709 32-bit system, the output size is 0x1B0 (432) bytes. Within the output buffer, four consecutive bytes at offsets 0x8c to 0x8f are not properly initialized and contain leftover data from the kernel stack. 
 
The attached proof of concept code works by first filling a large portion of the kernel stack with a controlled marker byte 0x41 ('A') using the win32k!NtGdiEngCreatePalette system call, and then invokes the affected nt!NtQueryInformationProcess service. As a result, we can observe that these leftover bytes are indeed leaked to user-mode at offset 0x8c of the output structure:

Repeatedly triggering the vulnerability could allow local authenticated attackers to defeat certain exploit mitigations (kernel ASLR) or read other secrets stored in the kernel address space.
