A vulnerability has been identified in Fortinet FortiClient, which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This issue is caused by errors in the "fortimon.sys" driver when processing user-supplied data, which could be exploited by non-privileged users to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges via a specially crafted request.
