Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GEAR Software products that include GEARAspiWDM.sys version 2.2.5.0

Description The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) on Windows, due to a race condition. This occurs because the software does not check if user-mode memory is available right before writing to it, with the check only performed at the beginning of a long subroutine.

Recommendations For GEAR Software products that include GEARAspiWDM.sys version 2.2.5.0, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as no specific workaround is provided for this version.
