CVE-2025-62457

cldflt.sys — out-of-bounds read allows elevation of privilege

Summary

Field Value
Driver cldflt.sys
Vulnerability Class Out-of-Bounds Read
CVSS 7.8
Exploited ITW No
Patch Date December 9, 2025

Root Cause

The Cloud Files Mini Filter driver skips buffer boundary checks when processing reparse data, and an out-of-bounds read results. The OOB read leaks kernel memory or can be chained for privilege escalation.

Exploitation

The attacker crafts reparse data that triggers the OOB read. The leaked kernel data gives information disclosure or chains with other primitives for SYSTEM escalation.

Exploitation Primitive

Crafted reparse data → OOB read
  → information disclosure / corruption → SYSTEM
