Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists in the AutomationDirect Productivity Suite due to improper validation of IOCTL (Input/Output Control) requests. A local attacker with low privileges can send a specially crafted IOCTL request to the software's driver component to trigger kernel memory corruption. Successful exploitation can result in the disclosure of sensitive kernel memory information or cause a system crash (BSOD), leading to a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability is addressed in version v4.7.0.47.
