What is CVE-2023-27469?

Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit version 4.4.0.220 is exposed to a vulnerability that allows for arbitrary file deletion and denial of service. This occurs due to a flaw in the handling of an ALPC message, specifically where the FullFileNamePath variable is not properly terminated with a null character ('\0'). This oversight can be exploited by attackers to manipulate file paths and potentially disrupt service availability.
