  1. Driver Improper Interaction with Windows Kernel Vulnerability

    An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the improper interaction of drivers with the Windows kernel. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode and take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.

  2. Windows Kernel Integer Truncation Vulnerability

    An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists due to the way that the Windows kernel allocates memory when reading user-supplied data. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run arbitrary code in kernel mode and take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full administrative rights.
