Local service interruption via undisclosed driver flaw
Published Apr 13, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Denial of service in the Microsoft Windows Console Driver allows local users to interrupt affected Windows systems via an undisclosed vector. Microsoft identifies the Console Driver as the affected component but has not published the triggering input, code path, or incorrect operation. Low-privileged local access is required, and Microsoft does not specify whether the interruption is a hang, crash, or reboot.
