CVE-2015-5737
The (1) mdare64_48.sys, (2) mdare32_48.sys, (3) mdare32_52.sys, (4) mdare64_52.sys, and (5) Fortishield.sys drivers in Fortinet FortiClient before 5.2.4 do not properly restrict access to the API for management of processes and the Windows registry,…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.52%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The (1) mdare64_48.sys, (2) mdare32_48.sys, (3) mdare32_52.sys, (4) mdare64_52.sys, and (5) Fortishield.sys drivers in Fortinet FortiClient before 5.2.4 do not properly restrict access to the API for management of processes and the Windows registry, which allows local users to obtain a privileged handle to a PID and possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by a 0x2220c8 ioctl call.
