Service interruption via null-pointer driver IOCTL
Published Apr 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Null pointer dereference in shieldm.sys in Horizon DataSys RollBack Rx Professional 12.8.0.0 allows local users to interrupt the system. The driver dereferences a null pointer while processing IOCTL 0x96202000, causing a kernel-level denial of service. Access to the installed Windows driver is required; public sources do not specify whether the interruption is a hang, crash, or reboot.
