What is CVE-2018-9049?

The vulnerability in Windows Optimization Master, specifically in the driver file (WoptiHWDetect.SYS), allows local users to trigger a denial of service. This is achievable due to a lack of input value validation from IOCtl command 0xf1002833, potentially leading to a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and system instability. This flaw emphasizes the importance of proper input validation to prevent local exploitation.
