WinFsp through 2.2.26215 contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability in the kernel driver's Fast I/O device control handler that fails to validate the volume context before use. An unprivileged local user can trigger a denial of service by opening the WinFsp control device and issuing FSP_IOCTL_TRANSACT requests, causing a system crash.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in WinFsp through 2.2.26215 allows an authenticated, unprivileged local user to crash the Windows kernel by issuing FSP_IOCTL_TRANSACT requests to the WinFsp control device, triggering a null pointer dereference in the driver's Fast I/O device control handler. The vulnerability requires local access (PR:L) and a system with WinFsp installed; it results only in a system crash with no data exposure or code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an interactive or programmatic unprivileged local account on a Windows host that has the WinFsp kernel driver installed and its control device accessible (PR:L, AV:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but modest-severity local availability issue, not a top-priority remote threat. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor patch or upgrade WinFsp to a version beyond 2.2.26215; the upstream fix is in commit b8103265ec63fa87ac264c62bb796dbc38376652 (https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp/commit/b8103265ec63fa87ac264c62bb796dbc38376652), though the exact patched release version is not specified in the advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
