Microsoft Windows I2O Utility Filter driver (i2omgmt.sys) code execution
| win-i2omgmt-code-execution (42358) |  High Risk |
Description:
Microsoft Windows could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the I2O Utility Filter driver (i2omgmt.sys) IOCTL handler and insecure permissions on \\.\I2OExc device interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a DeviceObject pointer to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges or cause the application to crash.
