Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Outpost Firewall PRO version 4.0 (964.582.059)

Description: The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a system crash. This is achieved by passing an invalid argument to the DeviceIoControl function, which triggers an invalid memory operation.

Recommendations: For Outpost Firewall PRO version 4.0 (964.582.059), consider restricting access to the DeviceSandBox driver to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the DeviceIoControl function with invalid arguments until a patch is available.
