Summary

A vulnerability exists in secdrv.sys that affects multiple versions of Microsoft Windows and Macrovision SafeDisc. This issue allows an unprivileged attacker to exploit a race condition through carefully crafted IOCTL calls, leading to a use-after-free scenario. By leveraging this flaw, attackers can execute arbitrary code within the kernel, potentially compromising system integrity and security.

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.
