Short explanation
A use‑after‑free vulnerability exists in the Windows WFP packet‑capture driver of Akamai Guardicore Platform Agent before version 7.4. An Administrator‑level local attacker can trigger a crash by sending a crafted IPv6 packet when an IPv6 proxy/redirect rule is active.
The flaw can cause immediate system crashes, leading to denial‑of‑service on affected hosts.
What should be done?
- Monitor vendor security advisories
- Apply patches when released
- Disable unnecessary IPv6 proxy/redirect rules
- Restrict Administrator privileges
- Monitor for abnormal crashes
The sources give limited detail on some technical conditions. Review the chain of evidence below before deciding how to act.
