Summary

Field Value
Driver clfs.sys
Vulnerability Class Buffer Overflow (Heap)
CVSS 7.8
Exploited ITW Yes
Patch Date May 13, 2025

Root Cause

Missing input validation in the CLFS driver causes a heap-based buffer overflow when processing crafted log file metadata. The second CLFS zero-day patched in the same May 2025 cycle (alongside CVE-2025-32701), continuing a CLFS exploitation pattern from CVE-2022-37969 through CVE-2025-29824.

The heap overflow corrupts adjacent kernel objects for SYSTEM privilege escalation.

Exploitation Primitive

Crafted CLFS log file → heap buffer overflow → adjacent object corruption → SYSTEM
