Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-1055 affects the K7RKScan.sys driver, a component of the K7 Security Anti-Malware suite. The vulnerability allows a local, low-privilege user to send specific IOCTL requests that can terminate a wide range of processes. These processes can run with administrative or system-level privileges, excluding those protected by the operating system. This vulnerability arises from a lack of access control in the driver's IOCTL handler. This allows users without sufficient privileges to perform actions that should be restricted to the kernel space. Successful exploitation of this flaw can lead to a denial-of-service state by disrupting critical services or privileged applications.

Description
A vulnerability in the K7RKScan.sys driver, part of the K7 Security Anti-Malware suite, allows a local low-privilege user to send crafted IOCTL requests to terminate a wide range of processes running with administrative or system-level privileges, with the exception of those inherently protected by the operating system. This flaw stems from missing access control in the driver's IOCTL handler, enabling unprivileged users to perform privileged actions in kernel space. Successful exploitation can lead to denial of service by disrupting critical services or privileged applications.
