Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-38151

This kernel disclosure extends the release's 71 percent EPSS cluster to Windows 11 Version 24H2 on both ARM64 and x64 in addition to Windows 10 Version 1809, showing the issue is not confined to legacy builds alone. Coverage spanning the newest Windows 11 feature update alongside the much older 1809 release means every supported client generation needs this fix.

Do this: Extend the priority patch push for this release's high-EPSS cluster to Windows 11 24H2 systems, not just the 1809-era machines.
