In Watchdog Anti-Malware 2.74.186.150 and Online Security Pro 2.74.186.150, the zam32.sys driver contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability that gets triggered when sending an operation to ioctl 0x80002010. This is due to the input buffer being NULL or the input buffer size being 0 as they are not validated.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
