Information

  • This crash occur at win32kbase!ulGetNearestIndexFromColorref+0x6f as result of null pointer dereference
  • We know that this Null pointer can be used as memory leak from the kernel for windows 7
    -We know that this pointer is used later after the return from function XEPALOBJ::ulGetNearestFromPalentryNoExactMatc to win32kfull!CreateXlateObject which can lead to out of bound write
