Original NVD Description

GEAR Software products that include GEARAspiWDM.sys, 2.2.5.0, allow local users to cause a denial of service (Race Condition and BSoD on Windows) by not checking that user-mode memory is available right before writing to it. A check is only performed at the beginning of a long subroutine.
