CVE-2007-4970

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.4)—

ProcessGuard 3.410 does not properly validate certain parameters to System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) function handlers, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly gain privileges via kernel SSDT hooks for Windows Native API functions including (1) NtCreateFile, (2) NtCreateKey, (3) NtDeleteValueKey, (4) NtOpenFile, (5) NtOpenKey, and (6) NtSetValueKey.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 4.4

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.28%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 19
Score date: 10/4/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
