CVE-2014-8956
Stack-based buffer overflow in the K7Sentry.sys kernel mode driver (aka K7AV Sentry Device Driver) before 12.8.0.119, as used in multiple K7 Computing products, allows local users to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.63%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
