CVE-2018-8061
HWiNFO AMD64 Kernel driver version 8.98 and lower allows an unprivileged user to send IOCTL 0x85FE2608 to the device driver with the HWiNFO32 symbolic device name, resulting in direct physical memory read or write.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
