Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.23%

14th percentile - higher than 14% of all known CVEs

Summary

An attacker may achieve arbitrary code execution on a target system by uploading a malicious device driver package, bypassing driver verification mechanisms, and triggering the execution of attacker-controlled code. User interaction is required.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can achieve arbitrary code execution at the kernel level, leading to full system takeover and privilege escalation. However, user interaction is required, which somewhat limits the attack vector.

Recommendation

Update driver verification mechanisms to a version containing the fix. Restrict privileges for driver installation and educate users about the risks of installing untrusted packages.
