CVE-2024-1853
CVE-2024-1853: Zemana AntiLogger Arbitrary Process Termination Vulnerability. This security flaw allows for the unexpected termination of processes due to a vulnerability in the zam64.sys and zamguard64.sys drivers. By triggering the 0x80002048 IOCTL code, an attacker could exploit this weakness. The CVSS score is 0, however, SOCRadar has assigned an SVRS of 30 indicating a moderate risk, though it does not require immediate action. While the CVSS score is low, the "In The Wild" tag suggests active exploitation, meriting increased vigilance. The core risk involves potential disruption of critical system processes. This vulnerability is significant because it demonstrates a weakness in process handling within a security application, potentially undermining system stability and defense mechanisms.
Description:
CVE-2024-1853 is an Arbitrary Process Termination vulnerability in Zemana AntiLogger v2.74.204.664. It allows an attacker to terminate arbitrary processes by triggering the 0x80002048 IOCTL code of the zam64.sys and zamguard64.sys drivers. The SVRS of 30 indicates a moderate risk, requiring attention but not immediate action.
