Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in multiple CA products, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or to potentially gain escalated privileges, and by malicious people to cause a DoS.
1) An error exists within the processing of IOCTL requests in the kmxfw.sys kernel driver. This can be exploited to cause a system crash or to potentially execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
2) An unspecified error in the kmxfw.sys driver can be exploited to cause a DoS.
The vulnerabilities are reported in the following products:
* CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System r8
* CA Internet Security Suite 2007
