Vulnerability title: Null Pointer Dereference In K7 Computing Multiple Products [K7Sentry.sys]
CVE: CVE-2014-8608
Vendor: K7 Computing
Product: Multiple Products [K7Sentry.sys]
Affected version: 12.8.0.104
Fixed version: 12.8.0.119
Reported by: Kyriakos Economou
Details:

Latest and possibly earlier versions of K7Sentry.sys kernel mode driver, also named as the ‘K7AV Sentry Device Driver’, allows any local user to crash the system by creating a file that contains the string “crashme$$” in its name. Once the file is created, any attempt to access it will result in a null pointer dereference leading to a system crash through a BSoD.
