Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NoMachine Enterprise Client versions 4.0.346 through 7.7.4

Description The issue allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode or cause a denial of service, resulting in memory corruption and OS crash, via specially crafted I/O Request Packet. This is due to an Integer Overflow in the IOCTL Handler 0x22001B.

Recommendations For versions 4.0.346 through 7.7.4, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the IOCTL Handler 0x22001B to minimize the risk of exploitation.
