CVE-2024-10972
Last modified
CVE-2024-10972 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Velocidex WinPmem versions 4.1 and below suffer from an Improper Input Validation vulnerability whereby an attacker with admin access can trigger a BSOD with a parallel thread changing the memory’s access right under the control of the user-mode application. This is due to verification only being performed at the beginning of the routine allowing the userspace to change page permissions half way through the routine. A valid workaround is a rule to detect unauthorized loading of winpmem outside incident response operations.. EPSS estimates a 0.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
