Driver & aaplication synchronization

HEllo All ,
I am sharing memory between a k-mode driver and user mode app. I want to
make them synchronised without using DeviceIoControl…is it possible ???
Can I use standard mutex in driver ??

You cannot guarantee that a malicious app will not write junk to this memory without acquiring the mutex. This junk can cause the
driver to BSOD the OS. This is a hole.
