OpenSource user mode file system for Windows, software driver contains a stack-based buffer overflow – 20th Dec 2018

Preface: Dokan is a user mode file system for Windows. It allows anyone to safely and easily develop new file systems on Windows operating systems.

Technical details: When you want to create a new file system on Windows you need to develop a file system driver. Developing a device driver that works in the kernel mode on Windows requires highly technical skills. By using Dokan, you can create your own file systems very easily without writing device drivers. Dokan is similar to FUSE (Linux user mode file system) but works on Windows.
