>> CA Products "kmxfw.sys" Privilege Escalation and DoS Vulnerabilities
|
|
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in various CA products, which could be exploited by attackers or malicious users to gain elevated privileges or cause a denial of service.
The first issue is caused by an input validation error in the "kmxfw.sys" driver when processing user-supplied data, which could be exploited by unprivileged users to cause a system crash or execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges via a specially crafted IOCTL request.
The second vulnerability is caused by an unspecified input validation error in the "kmxfw.sys" driver, which could allow attackers to cause a denial of service condition.
