Do Windows care about vulnerable drivers? Is there anyway to prevent installation/execution of drivers with such CVEs?
- Cthulhu_ 4y agoYeah, avoid dodgy anti-malware software; don't run as administrator; stick with windows official drivers and allow them to be updated when windows pushes an update; don't mess around with software and drivers.
- userbinator 4y agoAnd then you'll end up with letting them take away features, introduce new bugs and other bloatware you never had before (seems to happen semiregularly with GPU drivers...), can't use hardware you bought because they broke its driver at some point, etc. No, personal responsibility and community trust is infinitely preferable to corporate authoritarianism.
- jeroenhd 4y agoThe problem with that approach is that malware can bring its own signed driver to load and exploit. Microsoft would need to blacklist the known vulnerable drivers to solve this problem, but then devices will stop working.
- logical_person 4y agowrong, loading drivers requires admin.
- anthk 4y agoNo, just use SDI Tool Origin if you have to suffer Windows.
