What is CVE-2015-8772?

The vulnerability in McAfee File Lock allows local users to exploit the McPvDrv.sys driver, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive kernel memory. An attacker can manipulate the VERIFY_INFORMATION.Length value in an IOCTL_DISK_VERIFY call, potentially causing a denial of service or revealing confidential data from the system's memory, which heightens the risks associated with local user access control.
