What is CVE-2019-6492?

A vulnerability exists in IObit Smart Defrag 6 where the SmartDefragDriver.sys version 2.0 does not appropriately manage memory for a kernel pool. When the IOCTL call 0x9C401CC4 is executed, it fails to release an allocated executable kernel pool with user-defined size parameters. As a result, this oversight can lead to kernel pointer leaks if the kernel pool escalates to a considerably large size, potentially compromising system integrity and security.
