Description:
The 'mks_vir' program is a security application for Microsoft Windows.
The application is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability in the 'mksmonen.sys' driver. The problem occurs when handling a large buffer passed to IOCTL request 0x95FE0007.
A local attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges; this may facilitate a compromise of the affected computer.
Versions prior to mks_vir 9 Beta 1.2.0.0 build 297 are vulnerable.
