Driver memory corruption via oversized registry value
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Classic buffer overflow in SUSE Virtual Machine Driver Pack allows local users to corrupt driver memory through crafted registry data. RtlQueryRegistryValues copies an attacker-controlled registry value into a fixed-size driver buffer without first limiting the input to the destination size. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access, permission to modify the relevant Windows registry value, and additional conditions; SUSE reports no currently feasible exploitation path, and the bounded impact is driver integrity and availability.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
