Affected Configurations

The attacker needs to obtain deployment credentials to be able to start a rogue client and upload a specially crafted sparse file.To successfully crash the server the Velociraptor user needs to export the file using the "Expand Sparse Files" option.

Workarounds

Usually the server will restart after the crash. The user should then export the file without the "Expand Sparse Files" option.
