Descriptions

Windows TCP/IP Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Una vulnerabilidad de ElevaciĆ³n de Privilegios de Windows TCP/IP Driver

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected 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 the tcpip.sys driver. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
