El componente de gráficos de Microsoft Windows en Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 y R2 SP1, Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold y R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607 y 1703 y Windows Server 2016 permite que se produzca una vulnerabilidad de elevación de privilegios cuando el componente Win32k maneja objetos incorrectamente en la memoria. Esta condición también se conoce como "Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability". El ID de este CVE es distinto a CVE-2017-8675.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Windows. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within vPlgWrite1 in the win32kfull driver. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory access past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM.
