Description
In the WibuKey driver for Windows below Version 6.72, insufficient validation of user input when calculating the size of a kernel buffer could cause small amounts of data to be written outside the intended kernel buffer. This can lead to a system crash. Under unfavorable circumstances, adjacent kernel memory may be modified.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WibuKey driver for Windows versions earlier than 6.72 contains insufficient validation when calculating the size of a kernel buffer, which allows a user to supply crafted input that causes the kernel to write a small amount of data beyond the end of the intended buffer. The primary impact is a system crash; under unfavorable circumstances, the adjacent kernel memory can be modified, potentially enabling further compromise. This flaw is identified as CWE‑787.

Affected Systems

Installations of WibuSystems WibuKey for Windows below version 6.72 are affected. The product is the WibuKey driver running on Windows platforms; any system that includes the driver prior to update 6.72 should be assessed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 7, indicating high severity. EPSS data is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be local or requiring elevated privileges to interact with the driver, as the vulnerability description does not explicitly state the required conditions. Successful exploitation can lead to denial of service and, in adverse cases, memory corruption that might be leveraged for privilege escalation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WibuKey driver to version 6.72 or later.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, uninstall or disable the vulnerable driver to prevent its activation.
  • Monitor the system for kernel crashes and apply general Windows hardening measures such as restricting local user privileges.
