Windows 10: SIHOST buffer overrun error

I am encountering the following popup error message when I try to restart my system in Safe Mode:

Sihost.exe – System error – The system detected an overrun of a stack based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of the application.


This happens as I press the '4' option from the Restart Menu options screen.

There is a 'Close' button on the message popup screen which does not work - the message is simply regenerated.


After a few tries at closing the message the system does go into Safe Mode.


Apart from this, I have experienced no problems running in normal mode, but my Antivirus software (ESET NOD32) is unable to run properly. I am concerned that there may be a compromise somewhere in the system.


I have run SFC without any issues - Also DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. All report no problems.


Can you advise next steps?

Buffer Overrun Detected

I updated my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Before I did I did a backup of files.

Now when I go to restore the files I get the following error:

Buffer Overrun Detected!

Program: ....ckward\TouchSmart\Media\Kernel\CLML\CLMLSvc.exe

A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted this program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.

What is wrong? What do I do? I really need files of my backup which is on a Seagate backup drive.

Thanks.

 

what the hell is this? buffer overrun?

buffer overruns are fairly common with a virus attack. i'd check that.

 

Getting the Driver Overrun Stack Buffer BSOD Error while installing Display driver in windows 10

Hi Ashok,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

BSOD Error DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER indicates that a driver has overrun a stack-based buffer.

This is the classic "buffer overrun" hacking attack. The system has been brought down to prevent a malicious user from gaining complete control of it.

I suggest you to disconnect all the external devices apart from keyboard and mouse if connected to the laptop and perform check disk.

Check Disk is a utility in Windows that verifies the file system integrity of a volume and fixes logical file system errors.

Note: The troubleshooting steps for Windows 10 are same as Windows 8/8.1.
