Description
Multiple buffer overflows in CORE FORCE before 0.95.172 allow local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code in the kernel context via crafted arguments to (1) IOCTL functions in the Firewall module or (2) SSDT hook handler functions in the Registry module.
