Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sophos Anti-Virus versions 7.0.5 and other 7.x versions

Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a reboot with the product disabled, and may also allow privilege escalation. This is achieved by setting a zero value in a certain length field in the ObjectAttributes argument to the NtCreateKey hooked System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) function when Runtime Behavioural Analysis is enabled.

Recommendations For Sophos Anti-Virus versions 7.0.5 and other 7.x versions, consider disabling Runtime Behavioural Analysis as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation.
