The GDTdiIcpt.sys driver in G DATA AntiVirus 2008, InternetSecurity 2008, and TotalCare 2008 populates kernel registers with IOCTL 0x8317001c input values, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain privileges via a crafted IOCTL request, as demonstrated by execution of the KeSetEvent function with modified register contents.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects the kernel driver used by G DATA AntiVirus 2008, InternetSecurity 2008, and TotalCare 2008. A local user could abuse the driver interface to crash the system or potentially gain elevated privileges. The business risk is concentrated on legacy endpoints still running these 2008 products. Exposure is likely limited to Windows systems with G DATA AntiVirus 2008, InternetSecurity 2008, or TotalCare 2008 installed and the GDTdiIcpt.sys driver present. The attacker needs local access, so internet-facing exposure is not indicated by the sources. Treat this as a legacy endpoint cleanup issue with high impact if present. It is not shown as remotely exploitable, but local privilege escalation in security software can undermine host integrity and should be removed from production environments. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for the affected G DATA 2008 products and GDTdiIcpt.sys driver.; Check G DATA or archived vendor guidance for fixed versions or removal instructions.; Remove or replace affected legacy antivirus products where no supported fixed build exists..
