Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Microsoft Windows up to 7/Server 2008 R2 (Operating System). Affected by this issue is some unknown processing of the file ntfs.sys. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The NTFS kernel-mode driver in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, and Windows 7 Gold and SP1 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted application that leverages improper handling of objects in memory, aka "NTFS NULL Pointer Dereference Vulnerability."
