CVE-2025-32713

clfs.sys — heap-based buffer overflow allows elevation of privilege

Summary

Field Value
Driver clfs.sys
Vulnerability Class Buffer Overflow (Heap)
CVSS 7.8
Exploited ITW No
Patch Date June 10, 2025

Root Cause

Missing bounds validation in the CLFS driver causes a heap-based buffer overflow when processing crafted log file metadata. This continues the long pattern of CLFS exploitation from CVE-2022-37969 through CVE-2025-32706.

Exploitation

The attacker creates a crafted CLFS log file. When the driver processes the malformed metadata, the heap overflow corrupts adjacent kernel objects for SYSTEM privilege escalation.

Exploitation Primitive

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