RegMon 7.04 does not properly validate certain parameters to System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) function handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain privileges via kernel SSDT hooks to the (1) NtCreateKey and (2) NtOpenKey Windows Native API functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

RegMon 7.04 includes kernel-level behavior that can be abused by someone already on the Windows system. The documented impact is a crash, with possible privilege gain. This is mainly a concern where old diagnostic/security tools remain installed on shared or sensitive hosts. Exposure is likely limited to Windows systems that still have RegMon 7.04 installed or its driver loaded. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated; the attacker must be local according to the CVE description. Treat this as a legacy local-risk cleanup item, not an internet emergency. Prioritize removal from high-value or multi-user Windows systems because kernel crashes and possible privilege gain can disrupt operations or weaken endpoint control. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for RegMon 7.04 and related loaded drivers.; Remove RegMon 7.04 where it is not operationally required.; Restrict local interactive access on systems where it remains installed..
