An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Kernel handles objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated permissions. To exploit the vulnerability, a locally authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application. The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring the Windows Kernel properly handles objects in memory.

Ein Angreifer kann diese Schwachstellen in Microsoft Windows Server in den Versionen 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 und 2022, sowie in Microsoft Windows in den Versionen 10 und 11, im Microsoft Windows Admin Center und im Microsoft Configuration Manager ausnutzen, um erweiterte Berechtigungen – einschließlich Administratorrechte – zu erlangen, beliebigen Code auszuführen – sogar mit SYSTEM-Rechten –, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, Daten zu manipulieren und offenzulegen, Spoofing-Angriffe durchzuführen und einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand auszulösen.
