Last modified
CVE-2018-8060 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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. EPSS estimates a 0.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
