RISK: Medium Risk

TYPE: Operating Systems - Windows OS

TYPE: Windows OS
  1. Win32k Use After Free Vulnerability

    An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the way that Windows kernel-mode drivers manage kernel-mode driver objects. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.

  2. Win32k Null Pointer De-reference Vulnerability

    An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the way that Windows kernel-mode drivers manage pointers to kernel-mode driver objects. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.

  3. Win32k Incorrect Parameter Allows Information Disclosure Vulnerability

    An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to the way that Windows kernel-mode drivers validate function parameters. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could access data from any kernel-mode memory location, including access to the SAM file.
