Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-822 and the CVSS impact.
Summary
The PEAK-System PCAN type 0x4030 processing path does not validate a selected or returned object pointer before dereferencing fixed fields during post-processing (CWE-822, Untrusted Pointer Dereference). A local attacker with low privileges can cause a high impact to availability, with no confidentiality or integrity impact (CVSS 4.0 6.8, MEDIUM). Affected are PEAK-System Device Driver Setup through 5.1.2.1151 and PCAN Windows CAN device drivers through 5.1.2. CISA does not list the flaw in KEV, and its SSVC assessment shows no known exploitation.
