Description

Operating Systems and Kernels frequently run at the highest levels of permissions. If processes with lower permissions are able to exploit a vulnerability in the OS or Kernel (such as a vulnerability enabled by TID-206), they may be able to raise the privileges of their process. If a threat actor were to exploit this vulnerability, they may be able to raise the permissions of a malicious process, thereby granting themselves greater access to the device.

CWE
