What is CVE-2017-9769?

A vulnerability exists within Razer Synapse's rzpnk.sys driver due to improper handling of IOCTL requests. An attacker could exploit this weakness by issuing a specially crafted IOCTL command, which would allow them to open a handle to an arbitrary process. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access and control over sensitive processes within the system, posing a significant security risk to users running the affected version of the software.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
