A denial of service vulnerability was reported in Lenovo PCManager prior to version 4.0.20.10282 that could allow an attacker with local access to trigger a blue screen error.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2021-3721 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
