Two questions:

Can this problem be classified as a "shatter" attack? The similarity I see
is that Windows takes an address and does things with it without any checks.

Could other drivers (part of a "standard" Windows install) be exploited?
Maybe the CON: driver where we have some control over the output?

I apologize if these are "stupid" questions.

Thanks,
