CVE-2024-10972: Velocidex Winpmem

High severity, CVSS 7.3. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Velocidex WinPmem versions 4.1 and below suffer from an Improper Input Validation vulnerability whereby an attacker with admin access can trigger a BSOD with a parallel thread changing the memory’s access right under the control of the user-mode application. This is due to verification only being performed at the beginning of the routine allowing the userspace to change page permissions half way through the routine.  A valid workaround is a rule to detect unauthorized loading of winpmem outside incident response operations.

Affected products

• Velocidex Winpmem: up to and including 4.1
