<p>An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Group Policy improperly checks access. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could run processes in an elevated context.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system, and then run a specially crafted application to take control over the affected system.</p> <p>The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Group Policy checks access.</p>
GRUB2 contains a race condition in grub_script_function_create() leading to a use-after-free vulnerability which can be triggered by redefining a function whilst the same function is already executing, leading to arbitrary code execution and secure boot restriction bypass. This issue affects GRUB2 version 2.04 and prior versions.
Apple Safari 3.2.1 (aka AppVer 3.525.27.1) on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or access violation) via a link to an http URI in which the authority (aka hostname) portion is either a (1) . (dot) or (2) .. (dot dot) sequence.
Windows Container Manager Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Microsoft Windows XP, Server 2003 and 2008, and Vista exposes I/O activity measurements of all processes, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by reading the I/O Other Bytes column in Task Manager (aka taskmgr.exe) to estimate the number of characters that a different user entered at a runas.exe password prompt, related to a "benchmarking attack."
Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Search Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Integer overflows were discovered in the functions grub_cmd_initrd and grub_initrd_init in the efilinux component of GRUB2, as shipped in Debian, Red Hat, and Ubuntu (the functionality is not included in GRUB2 upstream), leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. These could be triggered by an extremely large number of arguments to the initrd command on 32-bit architectures, or a crafted filesystem with very large files on any architecture. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code and bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. This issue affects GRUB2 version 2.04 and prior versions.
Azure Monitor Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Visual Studio Denial of Service Vulnerability
Windows Storage Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows CNG Key Isolation Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
win32k.sys in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Vista allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via vectors related to CreateWindow, TranslateMessage, and DispatchMessage, possibly a race condition between threads, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1084. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
Windows Themes Denial of Service Vulnerability
Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Microsoft Brokering File System Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Azure Monitor Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Local privilege escalation during installation due to improper soft link handling. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (Windows) before build 40278.
Race condition in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Vista allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash or hang) via a multi-threaded application that makes many calls to UnhookWindowsHookEx while certain other desktop activity is occurring.
Windows Error Reporting Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
The Microsoft Device Guard on Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows a security feature bypass by the way it handles Windows PowerShell sessions, aka "Microsoft Windows Security Feature Bypass".
Microsoft Office Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows File Server Resource Management Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the installer, where a user installing the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software may inadvertently delete data from a linked location, which may lead to data tampering. An attacker does not have explicit control over the exploitation of this vulnerability, which requires the user to explicitly launch the installer from the compromised directory.
NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the NVContainer component, where a user without administrator privileges can create a symbolic link to a file that requires elevated privileges to write to or modify, which may lead to denial of service, escalation of privilege or limited data tampering.
Microsoft Install Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Microsoft PLUGScheduler Scheduled Task Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows USB Print Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
The Windows NetBT Session Services component on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, and 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows a remote code execution vulnerability when it fails to maintain certain sequencing requirements, aka "NetBIOS Remote Code Execution Vulnerability".
All versions of the NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) where user can trigger a race condition due to lack of synchronization in two functions leading to a denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
A link following vulnerability in Trend Micro Deep Security 20 and Cloud One - Workload Security Agent for Windows could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
