What is CVE-2018-7250?

A vulnerability in secdrv.sys, present in various Microsoft Windows versions and Macrovision SafeDisc, allows local unprivileged attackers to exploit an uninitialized kernel pool allocation through IOCTL 0xCA002813. This exploitation may facilitate the leakage of sensitive kernel data, undermining system integrity and security. The issue is critical to address due to the impact it may have on system confidentiality.

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.
