Technical details
A use-after-free exists in the WFP packet-capture driver when an IPv6 proxy/redirect rule is active. A local attacker with Administrator privileges can send a single crafted outbound IPv6 packet via a raw IPV6_HDRINCL socket to trigger the vulnerability at DISPATCH_LEVEL, resulting in a kernel crash. The vulnerability requires administrator-level access and an active IPv6 proxy configuration.
