What is CVE-2008-5724?

The Personal Firewall driver (epfw.sys) in ESET Smart Security version 3.0.672 and earlier is susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability. Local users can exploit this weakness through a specially crafted I/O Control (IOCTL) request which leads to memory overwrite. The improperly handled IRP requests allow for the escalation of privileges, potentially enabling unauthorized access to system resources.
