Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Windows NT version 4.0

Description: The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash. This can be achieved by providing an illegal kernel mode address to certain functions, specifically GetThreadContext or SetThreadContext.

Recommendations: For Windows NT version 4.0, consider applying configuration changes to restrict access to the GetThreadContext and SetThreadContext functions until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of these functions to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
