## How to fix

- Fixed in HMS Networks PEAK-System Device Driver Setup 5.1.4, PCAN Windows CAN device drivers 5.1.4

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an untrusted pointer dereference in the PEAK-System PCAN driver's type 0x4030 processing path where an object pointer returned from a selection operation is dereferenced without validation. A local attacker with limited privileges can trigger kernel memory corruption by providing a malformed request. Exploitation requires local access to the system.

## Affected products

- HMS Networks PEAK-System Device Driver Setup <=5.1.2.1151
- HMS Networks PCAN Windows CAN device drivers <=5.1.2
