Title
Security vulnerability affects the Windows S-TAP component as part of IBM Guardium Data Protection
Summary
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, 12.2 is affected by an improper validation of user-supplied pointers in the WfpMonitor kernel driver. Certain METHOD_NEITHER IOCTL handlers dereference user-controlled pointers without adequate probing and exception handling, potentially allowing a privileged local attacker to cause a system crash or perform limited kernel-memory reads.
Severity
5.1 (Medium)
CWE
- CWE-119 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
