What is CVE-2018-8989?

The Windows Optimization Master, specifically version 7.99.13.604, contains a vulnerability in its driver file WoptiHWDetect.SYS, which fails to properly validate input values. This lack of validation can be exploited by local users to induce a denial of service, potentially leading to a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The vulnerability arises from improper handling of IOCtl command 0xf1002006, which can allow attackers to crash the system or cause other unforeseen effects. Awareness and remediation of this issue are crucial for maintaining system stability.
