DescriptionCVE.org

SonicWall Global VPN Client version 4.10.8.1108 and earlier is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds kernel memory read in the SWIPsec.sys driver, which could allow a local attacker to cause a system crash.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds kernel memory read in SonicWall Global VPN Client's SWIPsec.sys driver allows a local, low-privileged attacker to crash the host system. Affected versions are 4.10.8.1108 and earlier, running on Windows where the IPsec kernel driver is loaded by the VPN client. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability stands at a very low 0.16% (5th percentile), indicating no signs of active or widespread exploitation interest.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerable component is SWIPsec.sys, a Windows kernel-mode driver that handles IPsec tunnel processing for the SonicWall Global VPN Client. CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) identifies the root cause: the driver reads beyond the bounds of an allocated memory buffer in kernel space. Because kernel-mode code runs with elevated privilege and without the memory isolation protections of user-space, an invalid memory access at this level results in a Windows kernel panic (BSOD) rather than a recoverable exception. The affected CPE is SonicWall Global VPN Client up to and including version 4.10.8.1108. The vulnerability was reported directly by SonicWall's own PSIRT (PSIRT@sonicwall.com) and assigned ENISA EUVD-2026-54645 in parallel.

RemediationAI

Consult the SonicWall PSIRT advisory at https://psirt.global.sonicwall.com/vuln-detail/SNWLID-2026-0010 for the vendor-released patch; no specific fixed version number was included in the available intelligence data, so the exact remediated version must be confirmed from that source before upgrading. As a compensating control where immediate upgrade is not feasible, restricting local interactive or remote desktop logon rights to only trusted administrative accounts on hosts running the SonicWall Global VPN Client will raise the bar for exploitation, since the attack requires a local low-privilege session. Disabling or uninstalling the Global VPN Client on endpoints that do not actively require site-to-site VPN connectivity eliminates the attack surface entirely but disrupts legitimate VPN usage.
