Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions K7 Antivirus version 15.1.0309
Description The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the K7Sentry.sys driver, specifically version 15.1.0.59, which is part of K7 Antivirus 15.1.0309. This can be triggered via a DeviceIoControl request with the code 0x950025a4.

As a temporary workaround, restricting access to the DeviceIoControl request with the code 0x950025a4 may help minimize the risk of exploitation.
