Executive Summary

The vulnerability in STProcessMonitor 11.11.4.0, part of the Safetica Application suite, allows an admin-privileged user to send specially crafted IOCTL requests to terminate processes that are protected by a third-party implementation.

This happens because the driver's IOCTL handler does not properly validate the caller, enabling unauthorized processes to perform termination actions in kernel space.

In essence, unauthorized processes can load the driver and send a crafted IOCTL request (0xB822200C) to terminate protected processes, exploiting insufficient caller validation.
