Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.46%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

SmartDefragDriver.sys (2.0) in IObit Smart Defrag 6 never frees an executable kernel pool that is allocated with user defined bytes and size when IOCTL 0x9C401CC4 is called. This kernel pointer can be leaked if the kernel pool becomes a "big" pool.
