Descriptions

HWiNFO AMD64 Kernel driver version 8.98 and lower allows an unprivileged user to send an IOCTL to the device driver. If input and/or output buffer pointers are NULL or if these buffers' data are invalid, a NULL/invalid pointer access occurs, resulting in a Windows kernel panic aka Blue Screen. This affects IOCTLs higher than 0x85FE2600 with the HWiNFO32 symbolic device name.

El controlador del Kernel HWiNFO AMD64, en versiones 8.98 y anteriores, permite que un usuario sin privilegios envíe una llamada IOCTL al controlador del dispositivo. Si los punteros de entrada y/o salida son NULL o si sus datos no son válidos, ocurre un acceso al puntero NULL/inválido, lo que resulta en un pánico del kernel de Windows, también denominado Blue Screen. Esto afecta a los IOCTL mayores que 0x85FE2600 con el nombre de dispositivo simbólico HWiNFO32.
