CVE-2022-2402

CWE-121Published: September 6, 2022· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

6.5

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

The vulnerability in the driver dlpfde.sys enables a user logged into the system to perform system calls leading to kernel stack overflow, resulting in a system crash, for instance, a BSOD.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-2402 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 6.5.

The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
