vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where
an out of bounds array access may lead to denial of service or
information disclosure.
- CVE-2021-1095 (denial of service)

vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handlers for all control calls
with embedded parameters where dereferencing an untrusted pointer may
lead to denial of service.
Impact
======
