CVE-2024-0788Public exploit

Local denial of service via unsafe IOCTL parameters

Published Jan 29, 2024 · Updated May 20, 2025

Kernel API parameter manipulation in SUPERAntiSpyware Professional X Edition 10.0.1260 allows local users to cause denial of service. The saskutil64.sys handler for IOCTL 0x9C402140 passes attacker-controlled device names and request fields into IoGetDeviceObjectPointer and IoBuildSynchronousFsdRequest, including invalid device objects. Low-privileged local access is sufficient to interrupt the host or create arbitrary IRPs for driver-to-driver calls.
