Local availability degradation via unreleased driver memory
Published Aug 10, 2026 · Updated Aug 10, 2026
Memory leak in the speedfan.sys MSR Index Handler in Almico SpeedFan 4.52 allows local users to degrade system availability via manipulated input. The KiSystemCall64 path fails to release allocated memory after processing the input, so repeated requests progressively consume available memory. Exploitation requires local high privileges and can reduce system availability through memory exhaustion.
